Everyone has preferences. Some want Pickett, some want Willis, some want a LT and wait. If we get a FA LT, then I want Pickett. If not, I'm good with a LT and wait tile next year for a QB

I think I want Corral.  Just putting it out there for the Huddle to absorb.

After trading with the Steelers to move up.

The hype behind this kid is insane.  But it's being gobbled down hook, line and sinker.  All because he threw in shorts in a scripted environment that he rehearsed for like everyone does.

Tomorrow the fawning will be over Corral.

Confirmation biases you see in everything you desire has run amuck.

Misinformation is rampant and everyone is trying to make a buck.

Chill.

Some folks are very sensitive about Matt Rhule 😂

I know 🤣. The thing is I don’t hate nor love Matt. I am mostly indifferent and think that he is a coach that is growing into the role rather than be qualified for it in the first place. Tepper has visions of him eventually becoming Chuck Knoll, but never said how long that would take…

Still, I was just making an observation.

Personally.. I like Willis. If he is there I have no problem taking him. Even if he isn't ready day 1 you can weaponize him get him into the game on some packages as he develops. If a team trades up into the top 5 for him great as well.. I think that means Neal, Hamilton, icky gets pushed down. This is nothing but good either way.

I don't think Willis is going to be that good, but in general I'd be okay with the idea of taking a quarterback to develop. Rookies waiting a year or so before starting has always been my preference.

The problem with that this year is you have a head coach who needs to win now to save his job.

So while you or I might be okay with the idea, Matt Rhule is likely to feel different.

Except he came out of the senior bowl qb1 defeating the same guys we are talking about now in practice and against air.

To me--based on his pro day--hard to watch Liberty film when his receivers were not great and his OL was not great and the opposition was not great---he seems like the total package.  Charisma, character, talent, etc.  I mean, we took Cam #1 when, at the time, there were character concerns (laptop, entertainer and icon comment--which was true) and his accuracy was not great.  Because of the Auburn offense, he was not reading the defense like an NFL QB---so no QB is excused from concern at this point.

Having said that, Detroit is in a great position to grab their QB of the future.  With Goff, they may not be picking in the top 5 again next year.  They have a season or even two under Goff to work on Willis' game.  While I think they take Hutchinson if he is there, how do you pass on QB?

The Giants, Jets, and Jags are jokes. 

Every year they get the best draft picks.

You are not wrong, but this will be our third year in a row with a top 10 draft pick so in the immortal words of Boba Fett, "Well if that isn't the Quacta calling the Stifling slimy..."

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
