True but I think the browns are gonna be more and more desperate as time goes on. They probably can't have baker in their locker room any more without distraction or problems and don't seem to have many trade options. They owe him the full salary if they cut him and then he could go to Pittsburgh or somewhere else that cleveland wouldn't like. (It would be nice for a trade partner to be the desperate ones rather than us)

I'll take baker for darnold straight up all day. I might keep a little of darnolds salary to make that happen. Baker is simply better than Sam and would give us the ability to take Corral slow. Baker is gonna be mad and playing for his career and presumably healthy. If baker lights the world on fire and we are left with two good options, that is a much better problem than what we've had previously. If not, we would be out nothing.

I really don't think we are "a mess". With average or better qb play, I think we could be around .500 and maybe a wild card. The problem is, in a worst case scenario, our qb situation is the same as 2010 with a weak incumbent and a mid rd rookie who may not be ready or may never be ready (see Jimmy claussen). If we have poor qb play, we may well be picking top 5 in 23. However, if Corral is the real deal, he could be a major cap bargain for 4 years. That can lead to an immediate window like Seattle had with wilson. I believe corrals total contract is not much more than 5 or 6 million over 4 years. It's easy to build a talented roster when the qb position is that cheap. Obviously darnold will be off the books for 3 of those years.

It's funny they took him at least in some part as a great returner and he turned into our best wide receiver in our history.

Cade mays it is on nfln on my tv.

I heard him say that. Wonder if it would Pickett over Neal/cross or only if all 3 of those tackles were gone. That would have been unfortunate.

Happy Thoughts. We could have taken Pickett at 6 and have no tackle. I like how this worked out. Instead we got a stud ot AND a qb to give us hope.

I don't mind some cockiness in my qb. You need to think you can do anything.

Espns comments after the pick Draft Analysis The Panthers drafted by far the best player available and also manage to get a potential developmental quarterback. It shouldn't be a surprise if Corral pushes veteran Sam Darnold with his arm strength and dual-threat ability. Coach Matt Rhule was rumored to be comfortable with Corral in the pre-draft process and now has him in his locker room. -- Matt Miller

I'm gonna be optimistic. He could be an absolute steal. (Please be an absolute steal)

If not qb, who is bpa. I'm happy with Howell or coral tbh

Now 70 people approved and 0 disapproved. I didn't think 70 of us could agree on anything tbh.

Hard to entice him to sign a new contract that way.

I said many times last year when casual fans asked what was wrong with the panthers that "no one could win with our offensive line". I really hope it is actually fixed. They have definitely made a good effort to fix it.

Hopefully our answer at lt for years but Daniel Jeremiah has this quote... Worst-case scenario, he slides inside and becomes a Pro Bowl-caliber guard if getting a pro bowl guard is worst case, I can live with that. Jeremiah had him #3 overall fwiw

I'm shocked at the positivity in here. I love the pick too.

I try to avoid kiper and I like eisen so nfln for me

I'm certain 90% of people here will hate it no matter what. I fall in the Lt or trade back camp. I like cross best I think since I've read he projects as the best pass blocker which is what I'd want.

I definitely agree and hope that the gm is actually controlling the roster. I think generally coaches should never have that power but certainly not when given rules background.

I don't know anything about the soccer team. What does the "supporters section" mean?

I'm definitely the optimistic type (and mentally project out best case for additions we havent seen yet) but a lot of your argument is fair imo. I would disagree at cb/s. I think that our secondary was lousy at the start of 2020 and is definitely improved.

It is what it is.

If you choose to keep a coach for this year, you have to project confidence. I don't believe for a second that tepper really will have that kind of patience unless there is significant improvement.

I don't know how much this statement really indicates. Even if rhule is on the hottest of seats, it only hurts the team to say that publicly. I would rather tepper appear that we are somewhat stable even if we aren't so as not to scare away all talent (I do know a lot of free agents wanted no part of us anyways)

I do think our overall talent level is improved from 2 years ago. The gaping hole at qb makes everything look bad. The overall talent level has progress and is the foundation imo. Our roster was gutted when rhule was hired. They have swung and missed at qb twice now but there is no choice but to keep swinging.
