taller than Willis, but he not faster than Willis.

He's Drew Brees quick, but he want be able to run like he did in college in the NFL.

And I just rewatched his highlights, 

On two bad ankles...this scares me the most.

 

 

Willis isn't particularly fast. He's elusive and quick at breaking tackles, but he doesn't have top end speed. We don't know for sure becuase Willis wouldn't run the 40. But Simms is adamant that Corral is faster than Willis.

I think the floor for Corral is Trubisky, and he has the skills to be a lot better that Mitch if he puts it together. Is that ideal for us? Maybe not but its the best we can do in the 3rd round and he has the highest upside of any QB in the draft. If he fails or doesn't show anything... well we are likely taking one of the top 3 QB's next year and making the godfather trade offer up to a top 3 pick if we aren't picking top 3

BREAKING NEWS:

Corral has already been arrested for assault, public intoxication, resisting arrest, and exposing himself to an exhaust pipe at Coyote Joes

Then you have a checkers partner if he gets put in the 4 corners of your cell.

(kidding--I do not care what the doubters say)

My favorite of this QB class. I was more a Willis fan early on, but the more I saw of Corral, the more I liked him. 

Best chance at a good long term QB we were going to have this year. I'm glad we took a shot and I'm glad it didn't cost more.

He's probably already better than Darnold, cheap, and if it doesn't work out its like next years 3rd and basically zero cap hit. Baker would have been a $30M a year never get you a Super Bowl investment. If you told me 3 days ago we'd get Corral for next years 3rd I woulda thought ur crazy

Interested to see the impression he gives off in the presser. He’s a cocky kid, good tools, grit on field. Anyone can grow and change so we’ll see. Not some major risk. So take the upside. 

That cocky part is what separates him from the rest, I think. It's almost Joe Burrowish...

      Post- Training Camp 53-Man Roster Projection

      By Seltzer · Posted

      By all indications, the surgery was "minor." I know with all surgeries and especially back surgery there can be complications, but I think the whole time Tremble did this with the expectation he would be able to be back for Week 1 It sounds like he will be ready to start back in team drills next week. He's a veteran who knows the system so I'm sure that helps. I still can't imagine he will play a normal workload early on though

      Maybe. He was pretty good in college before a bad injury. He had a good preseason last year as a UDFA in Washington and was on their practice squad all year so they obviously saw something worth developing. He signed a futures deal with the Panthers earlier this year, and everything about him has been increasingly positive. Tremayne has gotten a decent amount of time with the ones, and a lot with the twos for someone that doesn't have a chance. He's the only other 6'4" plus WR on the team, plays ST, and is a more natural backup to the X receiver position than David Moore. That was my thinking behind it. But he may well end up as one of the last roster cuts. If so, I do hope they can bring him back to the PS. But I personally think there's a good chance he could be claimed given his ST ability and what hes shown at WR.

      That was my thought originally, but so many of the beat writers have mentioned keeping 7 WRs in conversations that I went with that, at least for the purposes of this projection. But you're right that historically defensive guys who were standouts at ST have tradionally gotten those last spots
