RGIII is a good person and was good before he was injured.

at least you spelled consistent correctly.

I agree, actually. Cannot understand why BB drafted Zappe before Howell.

Did you start a thread to tell people about YouTube? Do you know how to link these videos, or was this just a tactic to get people to listen to your shallow theories? Maybe you should run a drive thru window (assuming you don't already) and when the car pulls up, tell them where in town they can go get a burger.

See OP---there is some tape

not sure what the last line means, but Zappe was drafted by the same guy who took a G from Tennessee Chattanooga in round 1.

According to the thread title, I expected tape. Nothing to see here.

You need to remember, these guys were sharing their opinions under the premise that Corral would go around pick 11. Late third? No brainer.

He is going through progressions. He has a quick release and is accurate. I think he might become the best QB from this draft---

Does anyone else have a problem with using a roster spot for a kick returner when 80% of the kicks are touch backs?

He has played for 9 teams--over a quarter of them.

does he return punts too?

Since 1980 means 42 Super Bowls. Taking Brady out is not fair--he is part of the equation. (to support your point) I count about 19 Super Bowls total won by teams with non-first rounder QBs. That is nearly half. If you consider that most starting QBs were first rounders, it seems the non-first rounders have a pretty high win percentage.

The NFL did not know either--when you have invited players to the Green Room and they are still undrafted mid third round (like Willis), it shows that nobody really knew how this might play out.

This passage convinces me that Corral was not #1 on the board--they seemed to equate them to a large degree, and as the number stayed at 4, they could back off. When it dropped to 2--Howell and Corral--they started calling.

We were perhaps the most QB needy team. If we had the draft capital, I am confident that we would have taken a QB earlier--we leaped when Howell and Corral fell into our strike zone. Fitterer praised Rhule by saying, "He talked to Billechick and did not raise our offer." (paraphrasing). That meant that we had a draft capital budget, and NE was probably looking for a 2023 second rounder at some point. Rhule stayed firm, because we had a budget that we were sticking to--and he knew that there were 2 QBs on the board. Had the deal fallen through at the end of the third, we could have moved up into the late fourth and STILL landed Howell--possibly both Howell and Corral (nobody knows).

He is---so old that his hair now rests on his shoulders

But he was not 34 when he did those things. According to my smart phone, he will be 35 within a year.

he's 34. Dang

Need a reliable source.

Seriously, I was expecting to trade back, grab LT Penning from N Iowa or a Guard (and go with BC at LT), and then trade up into the early second round for the QB--expecting to get Howell or Corral. The only reason we waited is because we did not have the draft capital after taking Ewonu with no trade back. The way they waited when 4 QBs were falling suggests to me that they did not have a single QB targeted--But to get Corral at the end of round 3? That is a round and a half higher than where we got Clausen and about the same place where we drafted Grier. NOT COMPARING THEM--but demonstrating the value. It really does not matter where they were on our board, by the way, if they don't show up on the field.

He said, "I am not comparing him to Clausen at all..."

Tennessee is a run-first operation and they were the #1 seed. I am not sure that it is my ideal sitaution, but if you can't find a QB that can throw completions to our team then this could be a reaction to that. I am somewhat sure if we had Aaron Rodgers or Allen at QB, we'd have drafted Cross. By the way, who was the OL behind that scenario you mentioned?

I expect Corbett's productivity numbers to increase in a run-first, rpo offense. Corral is starting to make sense.

I think that is the plan
