1. Carolina #Panthers: Cam Newton, Quarterback, Auburn–shocking I know. #NFLDraft #NFLCombine

Definitely think there are some surprises/things I might not overlook next time. Robert Quinn and Prince Amukamara going 10 and 11 respectively might have been an oversight. Those are two great prospects.
Also, not sure 5 WR’s will be taken in round one. Seems the value is better in the 2nd round or beyond.
Wow. That’s the most whacky 2011 NFL Mock Draft I’ve seen yet. Gott be the best something though, right?
Picks 20-32 look to be on point, 1-11 are just a little out there. But nice originality and creativity with the Twitter aspect.
thank you, Mr. Gartman. We aim to try and provide both traditional and different takes on mock drafts so come back and check often. Also check click on the mock draft tab at the top of the page to see many traditional mock drafts and full team mock drafts.
I don’t think there is any way the bears draft anybody but a o-lineman with thier first pick. if pouncy is there they have to take him. what good would drafting a wr. do if cutler has no time to throw to him? as awful as his protection is I would use the first 3 picks for that position as well as signing the best free agents out there. as for defense time for the young guys they have picked the last couple of years to step in and do the job,but they have to focus on dixing the offense this draft after ignoring it for so long!
Thanks for the response. I could see them going DT or WR, but OL is definitely the most likely possibility right now.
