At first I was a little unsure about trading next years 3rd, but it’s not like our 4th was a handful of picks away.  It was an end of round comp pick, so it was almost in the 5th round.  No certainty that Corral or Howell would be there with that pick.

Seems like good value here and a better prospect than will Grier.  I’m just glad they finally drafted someone.  Nobody’s winning Super Bowls with mediocre to bad cast offs at QB.

I would have rather not given up a future pick  but honestly I thought he would go late first early second so I like the pick.  We needed a  LT and QB and both position groups fell into our laps. I would draft a QB next year regardless of what plays out this season. We need to keep drafting  OL DL and QB and make those all areas of strength.

After sleeping on it, I came to the same conclusion I had last night: I don’t have a problem with the move.  Teams have 2 or 3 QB slots on their roster.  Before tonight, we had 2.  One is filled by a guy who is right now a marginal backup, at best, the other is filled by a guy who should not be on an NFL roster.  Maybe both fall into the latter category.  Neither of them is under contract after 2022 (luckily).  We just filled one slot.

I don’t know if Corral is the answer as an eventual starter, but I also have my doubts that any QB in this year’s draft is the answer to that, at least without a lot of work and luck.  That makes me happy they did this late in the third round instead of trying to do it earlier and selling the farm.  The fourth would have been better, but the fact that QBs were starting to disappear and the fact that waited until round three provided the opportunity.

I get the point that we should put the kibosh on trying to paint over the self-inflicted wounds of trading our entire day two slate of picks and just eat the poison pill we created.  Philosophically, I agree.  But that would have left the door further open for something stupid to happen with Mayfield or some other vet.  It is still not closed, but it is not as wide-open as it was.

As for Rhule, he probably is salty at the idea of drafting a QB instead of trading for somebody who has NFL experience.  I’m not convinced his seat is as hot as the Huddle collectively thinks (only Tepper knows), but it is hard to paper over his past mistakes when he can’t take his third swing at a vet and “instant success” in three years.

Watching Corrals zoom interview with Kristen Balboni, he doesn't even mention Rhule when talking about his top 30 visit. Just Tepper and Fitt. 

I haven't got to see his interview yet, but I read the transcript, and yeah, it seemed like the same thing there...  and again, watching the pressers both nights so far, Rhule just seems out of place.  It's clear there has been a HUGE shift.

      You found out what I said months ago. Its sort of simple, if Panthers/you want a edge....*Panthers need a starting edge that gets hurries/sacs/press/etc* You almost have to use the 1st on edge. Just the way it is, of course some .01% Panthers get lucky and a 4th rounder shocks the world and becomes a day one starter.    I hate double talk, I also feel the Panthers need a top backup ala Addison or Al Wallace. Sooooo I do feel the need to add one in mid rounds if possible. I mean Pat Jones is on the MAYBE cut list, Panthers need space, he had a back injury and had little impact on field. So....... It goes back to adding talent, Panthers need talent, young talent.  OT- In my finding Im able to land a "stud" in round 2 more than 50% of the current rating. Even in the 3-5 rounds, (duke lad) Im able to get a OT within the top ava. I normally draft two OTs with one must play LT at some point. So I feel the draft is weak, but one of the strong point and it helps panthers is the OT spot. A few of those OT in mid, some will be starters this year.    I posted this else where, but here is the best outcome for the Panthers given the mock draft finding- 1st- Edge 2nd- LT/OT 3rd- ILB 4th- BPA/safety/center/WR/OT/etc 5th- OT/edge/C/DL/TE 5th- """" 6th- QB/Punter/safety/NB/OL The draft feels weak at 80% of the spots and teams Im sure are on this thought too. This past draft feels much better and deeper against the pool There is no Mike green or Nic scro in the late 2nd. There is no Evans sitting there in late 5th. There is not even a Prince level edge in the 3rd by my finding. I feel Panthers for sure new to draft 2 OTs and I high believe drafting 2 edges, one must be a 1st tho. Then the remaining 3 picks one late on QB, one on ILB, and the last one BPA. Honestly the FA looks bad too, the huge problem is the amount of needed for Panthers and there's not enough cap space or draft picks to fill even half the issue this season. Its goes back to just add the best talented players possible, *so long they do not play OG, strong safety, Dbrowns spot, and Tmacs spot. Add talent everywhere else, cause its lacking.......Even CB with horn struggling and Mike Jack on a one year deal, Thor coming off injury. There room for a mid or even 2nd rounder being(ewwww) use at CB. I prefer what I posted above. Happy drafting 45!!
