I just want to go on record (again) saying Howell > Pickett, Willis, Corral.

Would be great if we can pick up some draft picks and grab him in the 2nd

No, that means we miss out on the LT, unless we take a second tier one.

Not necessarily. Could trade a player or a future pick(s).

I'm with you, but I would be utterly shocked if we don't take a QB at 6.  It's what these idiots do.

We do have someone there and to the staffs credit, they seem to be more focused on actual first round prospects

No actually it’s a valid point.

Overall, a crisp performance

1this is the exact opposite thing you will hear when the Tar Heels lose to Duke this week

Howell and Corral are flying under the radar…

I’m seeing a few too many unnecessary shots taken at UNC in this thread and I don’t like it lmao

I might not be crazy about him but that's stupid. And people wanted to get on us about Jackson fng State? This is way more egregious. 

There was a required meeting for NFL coaches and some executives.

To be clear, Nagy's tweet doesn't necessarily mean that Stewart is the only one there from the Panthers.

Now with that said, there's a pretty good chance that Fitterer and Rhule at least are at the owners meetings.

On the ACC network, they said Howell is going to throw again for people who could not make it due to the conflict.  Tomlin was mentioned as someone who wanted to be there.

Here is how I saw it (copied from a thread in the NFL Draft segment) 

So I watched Howell's pro day and I was impressed.  EJ Manual (Florida State around 2010-Buffalo Bills QB) seemed impressed with a lot of Howell's throws.  There was a meeting that caused head coaches to miss this pro day, so Howell is going to do another one.

The thing I like about Howell is his cool.  He does not get rattled.  He looked good under the simulated center---he can pass from the pocket, on the run, against his body, etc. and he is accurate with good velocity.  I was impressed with his footwork from under center. 

He does not have the quick release you see with Pickett or Corral, but he throws it 30 yards on a rope with no effort.  Looked like he flicked it 30 yards.

Comparisons:  The panel of ACC commentators compared Howell to Drew Brees, Russell Wilson, and Steve Young.  (I know).

Coach Mack Brown compared him to other players he has coached--and he came up with Colt McCoy.

 

I did not see a Panther rep in the crowd, but there was a conflict for coaches.  I can say that all 32 teams were present, but I saw multiple Steelers (pick 20) and Lions (pick 32) coaches standing behind him.  There was a comment about how Tomlin wanted to be there--

Frankly:  I cannot see that much difference between my top 4 QBs (I have not seen Ridder yet).  If we like Howell, it could be a trade back to about 12-18 and grab Howell.
