I think if Icky or Neal are there they just draft one at 6. If they aren’t then it’s pretty wide open.

He would be a fool NOT to regret and learn from the Darnold disaster.

That his throws are catchable at 10 and 15+ yards? I think it’s more if the opposite.

I’ve read they are down because he “regressed” this year. He regressed because he lost his weapons and his OL was awful. I’ve also see the one read and run comment in his draft profiles. He did this last year because his first read wasn’t open and his pocket was destroyed before he got to his second. It’s all relative from what I see. If you get him a decent OL and weapons (like ALL QBs need) you can get 2020 Howell.

What? You mean he can just flick it 60 yards down the field?? Honestly his throwing motion is fine. I like how he is already working on improving his footwork. Seems like a practice/training work horse like Drew Brees was.

https://www.pff.com/news/college-football-quarterback-rankings-all-130-fbs-starters “With Jamie Newman now gone, Pickett is in the conversation for the most accurate quarterback in the ACC, as his uncatchable-throw rate on passes thrown past the line of scrimmage was first in the ACC in 2019. His performance under pressure was exceptional this past year, too, as he converted pressure to sacks at the third-lowest rate in the Power 5 while earning a 27th-ranked passing grade under pressure. That said, Pickett failed to crack the top 100 when it came to big-time throw total, so he'll want to change that in 2020.” Sounds like he was accurate and avoided sacks, but also avoided big time throws in 2019.

I’m an Auburn fan (went there) and live in Knoxville. I could care less about UNC Football and I can see this guy is flying under the radar.

If Neal or Icky are there at 6, I think we do. They appear to be learning a little in signing two solid OL plus hiring a good OL coach. Even right now with BC, Brown/Elf, Moton plus our two two guys our OL should be much better. I mean it can't get much worse...

Not trying to argue, just actually curious. What flaws do you see in Corral's game that would scare you from drafting him in round 1? The main two I see are his offense was a college offense and his frame...

Yeah I think Corral fits what we want the best…

I think you are right. He fits our run heavy offense and can get it to CMC in a flash with some open space. Willis is my favorite, but Howell fits what we are looking for more, but he won't have to sit as long as WIllis IMO. Corral/CMC with the RPO would be something special.

It’s funny Willis, Howell, and Pickett (not as highly as the first two) were all thought to have NFL potential. Pickett takes his gave to the next level and dominates and the other two face solid years with some regression (due to OL in my opinion), and suddenly they are terrible. Corral was on the radar as well and performed very well cutting down on his turnovers which was his biggest weakness. Corral and Pickett had big jumps and people think that can’t continue? That shows they are coachable and can develop their game further to me. Willis on the other hand has as much potential as a Trey Lance who went 3 overall in last year’s great class.

Howell and Corral are flying under the radar…

I think Howell is getting overlooked. He still had a solid year missing his weapons, with his shitty OL. Scouts are just down on him because he wasn’t as good as the year before. We saw what he can do with a couple weapons and decent OL protection and it was projecting him to be the top pick this year.

Cam in a Falcons jersey would make me sob a little…

I hope Tepper is saying Fitt/Morgan get final say and Rhule needs to worry about coaching/winning games this year to keep his job. A coach on the hot seat with roster control is a great way to cripple a franchise…

The fact still remains Rhule is on the hot seat and is not going to roll out with Sam and PJ again after last year. If he grabs a OT or DE he is going to do something stupid like trade back into the first or trade for Baker/Jimmy G and possibly extend them. Yes this class is seen as “weak” because there is no top guy. Most scouts have first round grades on 3 (some 4) of these QBs and QBs will always be overdrafted. If you are sitting back and waiting for one to fall into right where you see him projected it may never happen. If they think one of these guys can be a franchise QB then I have no problem with them drafting one. As a fan of this team I would love some intrigue/excitement versus then trying to force Sam/PJ down our throats again. We all know how that story goes and I don’t want Rhule using any future picks on acquiring a vet or getting back into round 1. As the Cardinals already showed us, it’s easy to move on from a drafted QB if it even comes to that. So drafting one gives me excitement/hope as a fan and I think helps keep Rhule from ruing next year’s draft for our potential new coach. I won’t get mad if we draft a OL because that’s another top valued position we always ignore. However, these guys are guaranteed to be elite either. Neal may be seen as more of a RT (which we don’t need), Icky may struggle against speedy pass rushers (something every team has in the NFL), and I’ve seen Cross drop the to 20s because he isn’t fully developed in run blocking. Penning is a small school guy so there is a huge talent gap.

Well that certainly changes things…

What physical advantages does Pickett have on Corral? 1 inch of height and 5 pounds? I don’t think he is faster or has a stronger arm…
