Newton sliding isn't surprising given his recent ankle surgery.  Personally, I wouldn't spend a first on damaged goods.

Is it really a length issue?  I mean they haven't done those measurements yet, the only info they have are height and weight from the Sr. Bowl or whatever they were listed as on their CFB roster.  The film analysis on JPJ leans more toward not enough time as the Starter at his position, and what few technical flaws they touch on can be cleaned up with playing time.  He's still the 3rd highest rated interior OL, and the #2 Center prospect.  I would have no issue with him being drafted in the 2nd round.

Bottom line is the guy is tough, strong, has great footwork and is good at executing double teams and combo blocks. All qualities that we would look for in an AFCN Center.
