Before this season started, I'd have picked Ridder. Now that it's over, I'm probably still picking Ridder. 

I like Corral, but his injuries bother me.

I am intrigued by Willis. 

I am kinda reluctant about Pickett and Howell because of a limited ceiling due to athleticism.

Yup Pickett is basically in his prime and already throws with the velocity of a 35 year old. Howell is like a slower (mentally and physically) Baker Mayfield, not seeing anything promising out of either one. Willis if he falls to the 2nd and we have a pick would be hard to pass up.

So, these are the only QBs worth anything in this draft? I think not.

Going to be another 2012 draft with the experts ridiculing teams that "reach" for Russell Wilson and Nick Foles in the the 3rd and Kirk Cousins in the 4th. Who would want championship leadership QBs with high football IQs?

Give me Andrew Luck, RG3, Ryan Tannehill, Brandon Weeden and Brock Osweiler.

 

In 2022, the teams that pick Aqeel Glass, Bailey Zappe, and Kaleb Eleby will be mocked.

Give me Kenny Pickett, Malik Willis, Sam Howell, Matt Coral, Carson Strong, and Desmond Rider everyone will say.

 

My expectation is a similar outcome from the QBs in this draft.

I hate win ppl compare Wills to Vick..

Wills is athletic and can run but he can't run like Vick...

He runs like Tyrod Taylor.. or McNabb 

It's a totally different type of speed and agility.. Lamar runs like Vick..  When Vick got clear space you didn't catch him from behind.

I agree that Willis doesn't look like he has Vick speed. Or Lamar Jackson or Kyler Murray speed for that matter. I do think he's faster than McNabb though. He looks to have Cam like speed to me. Which is still damn fast but there's a big difference between being 6'5" 260 with 4.5 speed and being 6'1" 215 with 4.5 speed. The former is rare. The latter is average NFL athleticism (looking at the league as a whole, obviously still very good athleticism at the QB position).

I know Willis supposedly ran 4.37 at Auburn, but those college times are almost always greatly exaggerated.

If we had a Greg Roman or a QB guru on the staff that could harness RAW clay.. I'd be all about Wills because the arm is elite strong and his running ability is RB like..

Definitely. If he has it between the ears and lands in the right situation he could be great. We ain't that situation though.

Agreed... If he fell to the 2nd would you be interested??

I can't say. IMO, his entire draft status hinges on the things I can't know. How he interviews and does on the whiteboard with concepts being thrown at him is his everything. It's Herbert all over again. The physical tools are there. All the questions are about mentally transitioning to an NFL offense.

      ESPN showing some love on out draft class!!

      He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from.

      Morgan & Canales

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
