Panthers more likely to hold pick, take Newton

08:06 AM ET 03.16 | Many believe the signs are pointing in one clear direction. The Carolina Panthers will select Cam Newton with the first pick in the NFL draft, or are working hard to convince the football world they plan to. If a team craves Newton and offers the appropriate picks, the Panthers could trade down -- but not too far down -- and take Patrick Peterson, the fine cornerback from Louisiana State, or A.J. Green, the tremendous Georgia receiver. Without a collective bargaining agreement, however, draft day trades become more difficult since only picks, and not players, can be exchanged. ... The Panthers will return to Auburn for a private workout with Newton Wednesday. One group of Panthers was scheduled to have dinner with Newton and his family Tuesday, and another group is scheduled to have dinner with him tonight.

If Cecil wants $185K from the Panthers to take Cam to dinner, the Panthers might want to re-consider.

NO! I want the bills to draft him so they can continue their futility. As long as the 9ers don't draft him (which I don't think they would even if he was available), I don't care where he lands.

If his father is just looking for a way to make money, I hope he goes undrafted.

He's a Vince Young/JaMarcus Russell hybrid.

"One group of Panthers was scheduled to have dinner with Newton and his family Tuesday, and another group is scheduled to have dinner with him tonight."
Keep feeding him and he'll end up like JarJar for sure.

The Panthers had better hope this works.
History shows what happens when you screw up picking a QB with the first pick...

I'd say this is a smokescreen to hide their real pick, but I'm not sure the Panthers think that far ahead.

Trading the slot for multiple picks would be good since the whole team is basically one big hole to fill.

A team with real cajones would use the pick on the best player and not on the best hype.
