Hopefully!

Corral dropped because of character concerns. His physical traits are there to become a starter. Grier went in the 3rd because he was physically limited but had good enough character for us to use a 3rd on him. That’s the main difference IMO.

Yep. He wanted to invest in Teddy then Darnold. None of the top tier guys wanted to play for him. He has no one to blame but himself for this situation he is in.

Same school same round?

Go to the 40 second mark. We need a QB that our staff can have that much confidence in. Also if we fire Rhule do we hire Kiffin to reunite them? (Kidding)

Both seem like tough, competitive players. Corral is more suited for our WCO shorter, quicker passes. Howell has the better deep ball and could be better in a deeper vertical passing scheme offense. Howell has a shot to take over the starting job in Washington sooner better later.

Oh I get not being as upset if he fails because he was a much cheaper investment than a first rounder. Our strategy for him isn’t to simply be a backup. Whether we achieve that or not is up in the air, but Fitt has said “he is our future” already in his press conference. That makes me think he is going to be treated like a day one pick QB vs a third rounder.

Hopefully he will get some sponsorships in Nashville and plays well enough to still get paid. Seems like a genuinely nice, smart man. Wish him the best unless he is playing Carolina.

High school fights against rich kids are a non issue. It almost makes me like him more depending on what happened.

If we are in the top 5/10 range and there is a solid prospect there I think we take him. Don’t let the 3rd round guy cause us to miss on another prospect unless he some how proves he is the guy his rookie year which is highly unlikely. If they both turn out great we can flip the lesser for picks.

It’s not a bad idea if we are high on a prospect that’s available when we are picking. I wanted us to draft Fields after we signed Darnold. Having several good young QBs isn’t a bad thing.

Oh yeah. Plenty of QBs drop in the draft after an additional year of play. Jordan Love and Jake Locker are a couple aside from Rattler/Howell off the top of my head. The constant wait until next year guys are playing a dangerous game.

I’ve constantly had this debate. Next year’s class looks good, but a lot can happen in one season like this past year… There are a lot of unknowns like where we are picking and how they play next year.

I think Sam starts the first half and Corral comes in once we are eliminated from the playoffs. Also most if not all rookie QBs don’t know the system. They have to learn it or coaches run a simplified version through their first few games.

It’s not that bad really. If Detroit took him at 32 (day one), I don’t think people would call it a reach. Simms had a late 1st/early 2nd grade on him.

I get where you are coming from and there are definitely two theories on developing these young QBs. One being what you are saying and throw them out there and let them learn as they develop because our team isn’t going to be a playoff team as it sits with Darnold. The other is to sit back and let them learn the mental aspect of the game. Let our new OL gel and learn to play together for a 5-8 weeks or so while bringing in Corral for a couple plays here and there to learn the speed of the game and then play him when our team is more stable and he is more ready mentally. Also if we have a top 5 pick and Corral hasn’t had much playing time, a 3rd round QB shouldn’t stop us from drafting our guy next year. Let Corral develop in a great backup with upside or even trade him.

Our staff had a day one grade on him. They are expecting more than a backup out of him. I’m not saying they are right, but I expect him to replace Sam before the season is over because Sam might not even be a solid backup.

The GM should get final say over the head coach for draft picks. Hopefully that is the way it went down.

Why do you care at this point? He is on Washington and seems like a solid guy. Wish him to best except when they play us.

He got Wilson in the 3rd right? Hmm

Hell yeah. His dad played OL too he was solid on UT’s OL. His brother was also starter with him.

Someone say screen pass??

Hugh Freeze? I believed he coached Ole Miss a while ago and go in some trouble right?

You me and a lot of these analysts didn’t see THIS happening, so I wouldn’t worry about it. Predicting/guessing is part of the fun!
