I'm a passenger on the Corral train

We dont have a 3rd.  And qb's in the 4rth or later rounds rarely if ever work out.  Might as well use that pick on more line help and target a qb in the top 5 picks next draft.  We cannot keep wasting our picks.

I stand corrected. Once we get down to the fourth round, it's really BPA anyway, isn't it. Still, grab a QB, give him a shot. We're going to need a back-up QB anyway.

[GoobyPls]

He’s gonna be the best QB in this class.

Matt c is my pick. I put a profile on the draft page 

[jfo89]

Reminds me of a less corny Russel Wilson.

Based on what I saw of him, I wouldn't characterize Corral as bad or anything of the sort.

He didn't strike me as anything special, though.

Well, honestly, Scot, did anyone strike you as special? If they did, I don't know it. I mean, you probably bought into the hype of Luck or Lawrence, but I don't remember you going out on any limbs for any QB.

What are the red flags on Matt Corral? Need to know the bad that comes with the good.

He is a hot head. Gets into fights.

Think a mix of Cam Newton, Jeff George, Johnny Manziel, Jim McMahon and Ryan Leaf. This is the demeanor of the QB you want when you take Matt Corral. He will break rules, break laws, break faces with his throwing hand. It's Matty's world and we just live in it.

He obviously has great talent and athleticism. Outside of his flat rocket balls, high throws, and overthrows (similar to Cam's passing style).

He also has a well known injury problem.

Would you want a smaller more fragile version of Cam Newton and his reckless play style when he runs, doesn't protect the ball, and doesn't slide?

If yes, then Corral is your QB.

He has issues through HS and college with authority, drugs, alcohol, and fighting. I don't see him doing well with millions in his bank account and no chaperone (like the one that follows him around at college). Ole Miss did not get Corral because they were his choice. The schools Corral wanted like USC, Georgia, and Florida did their due diligence and passed on him. Corral has not been an easy player for the coaches of Ole Miss to corral during his time at Ole Miss.

In Corral's own words, he has been mad at the world. He believes his words get constantly taken out of context.

Is his 5 star talent and athleticism worth it? I don't see Corral and Rhule mixing well. I don't see Corral getting past 5 years in the NFL, and it won't be due to a lack of ability or athleticism.

In this year's quarterback class? Hell no.

I had concerns about last year's class too. Didn't really want any of them, Lawrence included.

Of all the potential first round QBs, Pickett is by far the least intriguing IMO.

And fundamentally flawed imo. 

[mc52beast]

I’m on the “Don’t take a freaking qb in this draft Express.” Not one of them is going to help Rhule save his job so it makes zero sense for him to do it.

[raleigh-panther]

If they are going to pick a qb, make it one whose ceiling is a lot damned bigger than Kenny   Matt has a higher ceiling so dies Willis 

otherwise get bpa

i know this is a totally shallow thing but I hate picket’s face as much as Rhule’s

 

[Icege]

Any QB train in this draft

[Patsinger]

I like him a lot, but not at #6

[d-dave]

Considering our OL and the NFL in general - you are going to get beat up in the NFL.  Corral has a slight frame and has been hurt a lot.

Then you add in his personality...  Yeah, that's a hard pass here.

Fix the OL.  Then trade up a bounty for a franchise QB.

[frankw]

He is an intriguing prospect but like the other quarterbacks not without those looming question marks. As we get closer I think we have to roll the dice on one of these guys. It’s that or an OT and for the record we are so LT hungry here people have basically bought into a narrative that we won't miss if we take one. And if you don't want a QB in the upcoming draft then don't enter threads about the subject these posts are beyond tiresome.
