Matt Corral Pro Day Today

Recommended Posts

My take is Corral looked the worse at his pro day compared to the other two, but has the best tape/stats against the best competition over the last 3 years. 
 

He also played in his Bowl game after injuring his ankle and injured it again(unlike Pickett). 
 

He’s been recovering from his injury and hasn’t had as much time to get ready for his pro day as the other two have. 
 

So it kind of confuses me if anyone is “All-in” on Pickett or Willis, but don’t want anything to do with Corral at pick 6. All of these dudes I feel have a chance to be elite and also have a chance to bust like a MF.

This class has no clear cut top QB which is good because we wouldn’t be able to get him picking 6. I would imagine our top ones are ranked pretty close together. If we have one we love take him at 6 (assuming he is there), if it’s even then you can look at trading down.

lol people writing Corral off because of the Pro day. Hilarious poo man. 

You don't get it. I'm from Mississippi and watch most of his games. He is not overly accurate and that showed today. I've said it before but his best trait is mobility but that gets you killed in the NFL. He is a less talented Baker Mayfield and we should scratch him off the list quickly. If the concensus of the board is that Pickett and Willis are not first round selections in a normal year, I disagree on Pickett, then you are looking at a 3rd round pick. Move on

Agree…I watched his highlight videos and was like damn he can drop the ball in the bucket from 60 yards with ease.  I watch a game of his touches and he missed some wide open TDs badly.  My knock on him is probably that I really don’t know if he is dedicated to getting really dialed in and perfecting his game.  

Pickett is clearly the most refined guy at this point.  Again though…not a huge upside but he is a good athlete.  Good arm and had far and away the best season last year.  

Of course, Blaine Gabbert looked good his last year in college too and couldn’t take the next step up.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
