Where did you see that? Daniel Jeremiah said that was his comp for Howell.

I think he meant scraggly ass beards.

A third and a fourth.   

They would’ve picked him with the 4th, so a third to move up

Matt Rhule doesn’t look happy.  Maybe he is just tired but there does seem to be something.  Also, he said all the best QBs in the NFL are old.  Over the age of 35.  That it’s an older players position WTF? 

Rodgers and Brady were among the best before 35.  They just happen to still be playing lol. 

He also conveniently ignored guys like Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson.

As far as his disposition, he looked even worse yesterday.  I honestly think its because his role has been minimized and he's been relegated to being just a hood ornament at this point.  I figure its because its had to have been a pretty big shot to the old ego to have gone from complete control over everything to having minimal input in everything as your job hangs by a thread.  In both pressers, its clear Scott is in the driver seat and is commanding the room.  Rhule is just there and even the reporters seem to sense it because when they address them, it tends to be directed to Scott first.

It’s a future 3rd rounder for a young QB with potential. We come out if this draft addressing two of our biggest needs with really only our first and what might as well be a fifth round pick and all we did is lose next year’s 3rd over it. That’s minimal damage all things considered. At worse we have a backup with potential on a cheap 3rd round contract. At best we have our new QB. Very low risk high reward pick. Even if it’s a high 3rd next year, those picks are far from sure things. Who was ours last year? Marshall and BC? Marshall might have been a 2nd…

The Panthers are having a phenomenal draft so far. I'm still in shock.

if he ends up being a 10 year QB, is spending a day 2 pick a dumb poo mistake?

No. It's a smart move in that scenario. But that is also a rare occurrence.

I don't have an issue with taking a QB. I have an issue with trading the 2023 3rd.

Felt like Fitt even read the room and added a don’t forget about Rhule handout.  Everyone we had Matt call Bill with what we wanted and he didn’t fold.  Good job Matt.  Matt can do things!

Mayfield is the comp for Corral on NFL site. From Zierlein.

Our third is likely to be a top 5-10 in the 2023 draft. Why trade that? Why? For Corral? Is he better than Howell? Is he better than Strong? Is he better enough to be a starting QB in the NFL? If the answer to a single one of those questions is no, then it is a dumb trade. 

Just fuging wait or trade a goddamn 4th for another 4th. Don't let go of 1st-3rd round draft picks. That is the meat of the draft.

They believe he is better than Howell and Strong and, TBF they aren't alone.  Howell and Strong were regularly listed 5th and 6th QB and Corral was often in the top 3 depending on what draft network you were looking at.

We used:
a 2023 pick 65 at 265 points (assuming we come in 32nd)
and a 2022 pic 137 at  37.5 points.

For a total of  402.5 draft points for Corral, equivalent to pick 49-50... mid-late second round.

The real question is, is Corral worth a mid second round pick?  We're going to find out.

Its like that moment when you are a kid and sit on your parents lap and they let you hold the steering wheel of a parked car in your driveway and you think you are driving.

Out of curiosity, what is the point total if we trade them next year’s 4th instead? Or if we’re a 8-win team with say, a mid-round 3rd?

i think howell is the safer pick. has less risk of flaming out and will likely be solid for a long time. carroll has a very high ceiling, but could also be gone before we have a chance to take a 5th year option on him.

IMO, he isn't enough better than Howell or Strong to waste that pick on.
