Willis vs Corral

[unicar15]

People comparing Willis to RW and DW are nuts. Watson was a dominant college Qb for three years at the highest level of CFB. Wilson was elite at two different schools and took his team to a rose bowl. It’s apples and oranges. Willis is a COMPLETE unknown. Anyone that tells you different is lying and it’s all going to be about his development and how much more a great staff can get out of him. 
 

Corral has a ton of physical upside imo. He’s a beanpole right now. I know the NFL weight program isn’t AS BIG a deal with QB. But go back and look at college highlights of Aaron Rodgers and Ben Roethlisberger. I think the biggest knock on Corral right now is he’s slight. But he has major growth potential physically and with his mentality….could be stellar.

With access to an NFL strength & conditioning program and nutritionists, It's pretty reasonable to think that Corral can put on 10 or 15 pounds in his first year or two.  With his height and frame, that shouldn't be a problem.  And at that size he should be plenty big enough to withstand the rigors of an NFL season.

Corral's nickname is "O.K.," because he's always ready for a shootout with the Cowboys.

I guess the point I’m trying to get at is it seems a lot of people have gotten to this well-rounded perspective with Corral and prefer him. But then everything we here from the scouting insiders, The Athletic, and a few other spots indicate otherwise. Mostly that it’s Willis and Pickett then Corral is in a lower tier low first/high second. Howell and Strong not far behind. And Ridder is high but just on a few team boards. Same with Glass.

Just curious to what the team scouts don’t see in Corral that they do with Willis. Very possible this draft has an active late 1st/Early 2nd round for QBs.

I'd say this is accurate and I'd bet a lot of the preference for Willis and Pickett is due to recency bias.  Those two threw at the Combine.  Corral did not (due to the ankle injury he had in the bowl game).  

Which goes to show that for QB, the Combine can hurt a team's decision making process as much as it helps it.  Guys throwing bombs in shorts and t-shirts get all the ooo's and ahhh's from the scouts but that doesn't show how the QB can diagnose a defense, look off a safety or make the right throw given the coverage.  Only tape shows that.  And those skills ultimately project best to NFL success.
