Honestly--I think he comes into play as early as #18 (New Orleans) and #20 (Pittsburgh)  I think it is unlikely he passes the Lions after that (#32 and #34) IF they do not take Willis at #2.  If Ridder is rated higher than Howell, however, Howell could drop into round 2.   There is no way he slips into round 3---I guarantee it. 

I think there is a deliberate effort by Tar Heel haters to discredit all that is UNC and there are UNC fans that promote all that is UNC--once you cut through that crap, you will find Howell to be worthy of late first round consideration, but likely an early second round pick. 

If only you were an NFL exec your dream could come true

I am a Tarheel fan.  That said I've had a chance to see a couple of his games and his talent is undeniable. If you surround him with good receivers, a good back (which we have) and a decent line (which on paper we have) he's going to be good.  

In his rookie year, he'll make rookie mistakes and maybe even lose every game he starts (like Manning and other great QBs) but he'll learn and become a long time starter.

I'll eat my words if I am wrong but I'm telling you know.  Howell is going to be a star.  It's not homerism, it's a belief many of you are grossly underestimating Howell.

UNC guy here. Here’s my perspective:

 

Going into the CFB season I was excited that UNC had someone who would be in the Heisman conversation again. Then we came out and laid a few eggs (the VT game comes to mind) and Sam’s stock dropped and I wrote him off as unlikely to be a viable option to be a high draft pick. I was neutral, if not pretty low, on him after the season. My take on his QB play is entirely based on watching analysis of him from different YouTube sources (none affiliated with UNC and no “highlight” videos). Now, the only QB who I think could be a more capable NFL starter is Corral.
 

Looking at his film, Willis will have some fun highlight plays but he’s not going to out-athlete most guys like he did in college. Maybe he picks up the ability to progress through full-field reads and learns to throw the ball away. If he draft him, I sure hope he does. 
 

If it were up to me, I would try and trade back, prioritize LT, and then try to ride with either Corral or Howell.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean, no I’m not going to panic when he got 2 Qs and looked great in 1 and looked not great in another (let’s not mention the drop).    Yeah we finally have a team that would be considered average offensively around him. Let’s roll this season.

      The woe is me everything but Bryce sucks mantra is stale af my friend. Look nobody here is going to argue with the fact Frank Reich was not a good head coach. At the same time. Bryce Young is now in his second season with his second coaching staff and a handpicked young offensive head coach who has been known for working with QB's such as Baker and Geno. As far as the offensive pieces around Bryce we have the 4th highest salary cap allocation (that might be even higher now after the new Moton deal) dedicated to the OL in the entire league. We have 2 first round WR's one of them 8th overall the first time we've ever selected a WR that high in franchise history. And the fact of the matter is Bryce Young did not have a good preseason. It's not the first time it's happened either. We all hope to see he and the rest of the team flip a switch in week 1. But we should all be able to agree that the offensive performances we've seen from the entire QB room (Bryce included) in preseason was simply unacceptable.

      We have seen Bryce play… what… 9 games with AT BEST what one would consider NFL average WRs? You just can’t see the forest for the trees and keep going back to your lazy take of revisionist history.    he looked AWFUL Y1 with the worst coaching I’ve ever seen in the NFL and one of the weakest WR rooms I can recall. He looked awful first half of y2 and great second half of y2 with average coaching and average skill position. I don’t know where this elite talent argument even comes from.
