Someone will take him in the 1st. I would almost bet he will go before Willis. I would take him over Pickett and Willis.  

I've said all along that Howell and Corral are my top two. Willis has intriguing tools but trying to project him to the NFL from Liberty is just a leap I'm not willing to make but he does have first round talent. That's the end of the list of guys I'd consider in the first.

I'm with you on that. Willis is a huge gamble that may never pay off. Corral and Howell seem to have the best shot or should I say the odds favor them being an nfl caliber QB. But that's not a guarantee in the least. It takes so much more than talent to be an NFL qb.

This is why I'm big on Howell. I've watched the guy play behind a nearly non-existent OL and only one legit receiver with his draft status hanging in the balance and the guy never showed any signs of being frustrated or rattled. After barely running at all his first two seasons he ran like a mad man out of sheer necessity. He's really damn good at just focusing on the things he can control and tuning out the rest of the noise.

That's a great trait to have because he certainly will need it at the next level. These kids have not seen a fraction of the pressure they will see at this level. I'm not talking just about the pressure on the field either.

Sam Howell has big time mechanical red flags. He also was in an offense where he was asked to make two reads max. Mack Brown QBs tend to suck unless they’re a generational guy like Vince Young. 

That's a false statement.  Everything I have seen and read about him says he reads the field well and makes plays.    His biggest issue in 2021 was he had no established WR.  All were new replacements for the ones who got drafted in 2021. 

Mechanical flaws I guess that depends on who says so.  He may have some but those can be coached out.

You didn't watch any of the previous two years did you? 

Of course I did, this past year is just the most troublesome. He didn’t have the best protection nor an elite running game and it exposed a lot of his flaws. Instead of navigating the pocket, he chose to throw off-platform or flat out run outside of the pocket. While that may pass in college, it doesn’t translate to the league. He’s a project who maybe starting caliber in 2-3 years.

My opinion, so it’s true to me.

      By CRA · Posted

      yeah, but the actual jersey Bryce Young is wearing is not the same jersey you are buying from Fanatics.

      i just feel like i read this he says she says poo all the time over & over again  on the internet  TV  work ,in public & then i think back to myself oh what a sick slandermongering world we live in now. ts just like those National Enquirer magazines you find in the grocery store at the checkout counter which are nothing more than complete & utter BS  & more often than not when you assume something then you make an ASS out of U & ME. so chill &  let the courts do their job & if he is guilty well he is guilty  LOL either or this has nothing at all whatsoever to do with Carolina Panthers football

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter
