Aaron Wilson (Ravens insider), "Hearing strong rumors that the Carolina Panthers have already unofficially outlined contract parameters with Cam Newton camp"

I think this is a well-written piece that echoes a theme I've been touting for a while: The huge knock against Mallett is "character issues", yet I have not seen a single person able to elaborate on that or provide a specific issue. He's been labeled with this term, which is so broad and undefined. It's almost as if once it came out, everyone just assumed it was reality. He has 1 arrest on record, at age 20 for public intoxication: you're going to find alot of 20 year olds with that rap. I have held firm in my opinion that Mallett will turn out to be the most productive QB in this draft class, and until somebody can actually give me specific "character issues" with supporting details, I won't back down from that.

This mock draft from the Bleacher Report website shows what we should be taking in the first 3 rounds of the 2011 NFL Draft. I absolutely agree with all these picks. ESPECIALLY THE 1st PICK!
