I'm honestly gonna be mildly surprised if Howell isn't a Steeler. They've been all over him all year long.

They were there today and the announcers mentioned Tomlin wanting to see him--so Howell is going to put on a second passing exhibition

Steelers reps were constant fixtures around UNC games and practices both all season long. I can't ever recall hearing as much chatter about one specific team being around UNC football as much as the Steelers were this year.

I think Howell is getting overlooked. He still had a solid year missing his weapons, with his shitty OL. Scouts are just down on him because he wasn’t as good as the year before. We saw what he can do with a couple weapons and decent OL protection and it was projecting him to be the top pick this year. 

Scouts aren't down on his production, they are down on his tape.

I’ve read they are down because he “regressed” this year. He regressed because he lost his weapons and his OL was awful. I’ve also see the one read and run comment in his draft profiles. He did this last year because his first read wasn’t open and his pocket was destroyed before he got to his second. It’s all relative from what I see. If you get him a decent OL and weapons (like ALL QBs need) you can get 2020 Howell.

Yeah, I think that's draftniks saying that. I think they more down because he didn't "progress." 

His mechanics are gonna get him in trouble in the NFL.

Just a nice fair friendly bet, no mortgages involved. Just ava picture rights and lite ribbing. 

I just don't care about it. We watch teams make idiotic picks every year. Hell, we're Panthers fans. We get to watch it a lot. 😂

I just don't see any bragging rights about it.

Its fine, minor draft fun addition.

Honestly the more I think about it, the more I’d like a trade down and draft Howell. He has proven he can be great with average OL play and some weapons like he did in 2020 and was ranked as a top pick before the season. Even with his OL collapsing and weapons going pro he did put up solid numbers and kept UNC somewhat competitive. You also get a young local talent at QB to get the fans excited plus whatever you can add from the trade down. One could argue Howell is as good as any other QB in this class.

      Ehlers needs to sit. Definitely can't lose him to a meaningless game.

      Bet didn't hit because the referee missed 3 clear corner kicks. I had a 5k parlay that would have been alive tomorrow if he didn't miss those calls as well. Super annoying

      I don't think it's at all a given that we have players who are good at driving the basket. I guess that depends on your definition. Bridges is 43rd in attempts in the paint Miller is 64th and LaMelo is 66th. We all love to see the lob threat but it's largely miniscule at this point in time. There's gotta be a solution here if LaMelo is to be the centerpiece because this is simply not sustainable if we want to continue to ascend. If he can't drive to the basket then that means we need to add another player to the core who consistently can. That would require moving someone like Miles Bridges. And that's certainly not going to be popular with LaMelo but something has to give here for what we are investing and we need to maximize guys like Miller and Knueppel on rookie deals while we still can. The three chucking is fine when it's working where the issue comes into play is there are no adjustments when it isn't and we just go into a shell and begin to look like the Hornets of yesteryear. That's why the offensive evolution of all involved is critical to us taking the next step. Getting to the play in is nice but we should have our sights set much higher. Right now though they need to take care of business against the Heat. All I ask is that they at least beat those fools. I cannot stand the Heat.
