33. New England Patriots (14-2) From Carolina: OLB Akeem Ayers, UCLA: The Pats like their 3-4 OLBs more versatile than most.

Round By Round: Round 1 | Round 2 Round 3 Round 4 Round 5 Round 6 Round 7<br

#1. Carolina Panthers: QB Cam Newton, Auburn – For better or for worse, new head coach Ron Rivera and Newton will be tied at the hip. The Panthers will certainly have to alter Rob Chudzinski’s intricate offensive system to tailor towards Netwon’s simplistic needs. Even though we all knew this pick was coming, Radio City was buzzing when his name was called.

#2. Denver Broncos: OLB Von Miller, Texas A&M – An interesting pick considering the Broncos plan to switch to a 4-3 defense under new head coach John Fox.

Report: Two Top Prospects Failed Drug Test

Two highly touted draft prospects failed their drug test at the NFL Scouting Combine in February.

We suspect that Houston and Ballard might slip on ‘some’ draft boards but will likely be drafted in that late first-to-early second round range as ‘most’ project.
