Oline or not he is at best an average athlete with average size with an average arm.   Locks onto his wideouts and gets happy feet in the pocket.  He did this last season with a good oline.  He does throw a nice deep ball but I pray to God Darnold turns it around and we dont hitch our wagon to this.   Like kungfo says someone will probably fall in love with him in the top 10 but he is nowhere near worthy.

 

Where would he fit in this past years draft?   Probably after Mac Jones.  Thats telling. 

Yeah, I think he is a talented kid that will play in the NFL but I suspect he is more of a journeyman backup level player.

I keep seeing the hype on Malik Willis too, who is another guy I think is a very unimpressive prospect.

This is just a bad, bad QB class.

The crazy thing is the OL is the same. They did play really well last year and they've been trash this year. Turns out, they were just floated by having two NFL RBs. Take away those two drafted RBs and two drafted WRs and they get exposed while Howell and Josh Downs perform heroics to carry the offense.

Oh that's right they did have two sick RBs. But I also do remember the WRs doin thangs.

Now they are talking about Malik #1 overall I think. Someone gonna get paid for this being a bad class though as teams are going to overreach now since the Mahommes, Watson, Jackson, Herbert stuff. No one is going to want to be the team that missed out so there will be some reaches going forward as tends to happen in these cycles.

I suspect this is gonna be one of those years where QB prospects drop down the draft. Might only see one in the top 10 and 2 in the first round.

In this one he just kinda flicks it 35 yards in air without even stepping into it

This one is in the air 45 yards and looks pretty effortless. I don't know squirt about the guy but from the small sample size his arm doesn't look weak

I like Howell more than willis but that aint saying much.  The only game I have seen of Corral was against bama and he looked okay but not really sure what his forte is.  He is a bit small but doesnt run a bunch, not overly accurate, not really seeing how he is moving into the top 10.

 

But overall we picked a bad year to be drafting a qb in the first.  Seems to be a good/great year for Tackles and interior lineman

How is that bias?  I dont pull for him or against him I just watch the games. And I am certainly not the poster with him as my avatar.  

 

Look up every scouting report on him and they say the same.   His arm is average and he gets happy feet and holds the ball too long when under pressure.

I 100% don't get the hype on Corral. Everything about him screams college level player that won't translate well in the NFL. Very average skill sets.

I hope we take take best OL available in the first or maybe trade down into the second and grab another 2nd/3rd so we can take snag 2-3 OL.

I wouldn't be upset at all with our first ever OL only draft.

Oh wait, here is a report from SI discussing his average arm strength and tendency to hold the ball too long because he locks unto a wr. 

 

He may turn into an all world qb but I would prefer one that is a bit bigger and more athletic for starters.

I wouldn't hate it. Got young talent all over the D no worries there just resign Reddick

Young offense and just resign DJ Moore and there it really is for the must haves. IF we can work in DJackson then w/e if not we clearly have DBs for days now so not as must have as it used to be.

I just hope we dont trade down in the first or out all together trying to accumulate lost picks.  Especially if there is a highly rated LT there.   I suspect this will not be the case because the qb class is so weak few teams are going to want to move up.

Right depending on where we draft will help dictate that because later in the 1st round is where the great centers usually go and even 2nd round but since we don't have a 2nd I'm good with a C there. If we are picking top 10 b/c the bottom keeps falling out then LT option may be on the table. Just gotta get the best OL for the spot we're picking

Yeah, that is why you see comparisons to Baker or McCoy. He isn't noodle armed at all but he has average NFL arm strength. 

The biggest concern is his myriad of mechanical issues and that offense UNC runs. He seems Ike a guy that could use a year or two on the bench getting that all fixed. 

Also, he has traditionally struggled pretty badly against pressure so this is about the worst scenario possible for him. He seems more like a prospect for a team with an aging, competent veteran in place.

I'm okay trading down if we can snag some extra 2nd and 3rd rounders to use on OL. But, if there is clearly an elite OT or IOL available, don't fug that up and take the kid. Even just adding one more solid player on the OL would be a massive improvement.

If we can add just TWO more above average OL in the offseason, I think we can see huge improvements

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
