I think we are going to trade back--there will be QB movement by then.  If we trade back, we are going to know one of the players on our board will fall.

I think you could see Pickett and maybe another QB like Corral go top 6 or so.  Pass rushers will go fast (3).  We could (theoretically) have 4 top OL when we pick--and if we are OK with any of the 4, move back if you can.

I watched these throws--all incomplete--but noticed the quick releases of Willis and Zappe.  Zappe hardly steps into the throw and it travels 60 yards--I think he could throw it farther.  Intrigued.

Zappe is the one chance I would take and he would likely be there in the 4th round.  I've watch a little bit on him, but he strike's me as a poor man's Drew Brees coming out of college.  Brees was a 2nd rounder if I remember correctly.  Same as Zappe, lack of size and perceived limited athleticism are the biggest knocks.  It certainly isn't based on production, because the production is there albeit at a smaller school.

Brugler really likes him.  Smart smart smart qb though lacks the strength to push the ball.

I don't think you trade down if you're targeting a specific prospect. I think you trade down when there are multiple prospects you have valued equally and you feel certain one will be available where you're trading down to. Either that or you simply thing there's no great value at your draft spot and you feel you'll ultimately get better all value by trading down for additional picks or future picks. This crew ain't gonna be trading for future assets though. They'll be trading the future assets.

I know you have watched all of Howell's games so I'll copy you on this.

If you read the mock draft I posted earlier the author states that Howell had more big time throws over the last 3 years than any QB in the draft.

I'm thinking the media has maybe pushed Howell down the boards more than the teams.  I won't surprise me at all if he doesn't go higher than a lot of fans think.

I know its probably hard for you to be totally objective but do you really think there is a chance he falls to later in the first round.

He's got it. The arm. The ability to buy time and scramble if necessary. The ability to make tough throws. The ability to deal with pressure. Clutch ability.

People are falling into recency bias because UNC had a disappointing season but it wasn't because of Howell. Watch the player, not the team. I'm not a guy who hypes everyone from my team. I told everyone last year that Dyami Brown's draft hype was unwarranted because he was basically Ted Ginn Jr.

Howell is seen as basically a poor man’s Baker Mayfield. I don’t get the “poor man” part. He looks almost identical out there playing. Baker is mediocre. Sam imo will be too. I’m a huge NCSU (and Leary fan) but I didn’t watch a QB in the ACC (including Pickett) that would grade as a 1st round pick in any of the last 10 years.

      How to list & hopefully sell PSLs plus season tickets

      By GRWatcher · Posted

      I sold mine when Tepper installed those soccer seats in the end zone using the Marketplace. I retired and couldn't afford the season ticket price any more. Got back what I initially paid for them in 1995. From the email I got, my guess is a family who had end zone PSL's used the $ they got to give up their seats to buy mine. Don't give up @Waldo. The upgrades coming could do the same for you.

      Don’t get me wrong, I love Koochie. I think he could be a star. But I’m not convinced Rod trusts him. And I realize my post was confusing. I meant based on the reports of swapping Necas for Ullmark or another goalie. If we’re going to trade for a goalie I would rather use draft picks instead of lowering the value of Necas.

      Albert Breer talks about Dave Canales

      You can make a decent case that most of the starters are at-least average. But depth-wise, its awful, maybe the worst in the NFL.  The only reason they could be a playoff team, is the awful NFC south and its collection of bad QBs and coaching staffs. That changed big time when cousins and Morris arrived to ATL. Now it would take a setback to cousins, in which he currently ready to play given all the stem cells and peptides stuff he has.  In past years there was always some elite talent leftd on the 7 win rosters. Like many know theres just dbrown and a huge ? in horn. If hunt was elite, phins would have tagged him. There's no Thomas Davis, Luke, Cam, Olsen, peppers, kalil, beason, gross, Jenkins, Smitty etc on the team. Brown is great and all, but sacks and pressure wise, he's not game changing. Panthers lack difference makers, young ones. You could make a weak case for clowney, but that ravens D is stacked.  Us fans just need to hope Dan Morgan can collect more young difference maker in the next 2-3 years. If Bryce isn't that guy, 4 years before this team can sniff the playoffs.  Honestly the panthers are due some luck as well.
