What’s everybody’s comparison? Heinicke? 

No way. His arm talent and release is far greater than Heincke.

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

Next years 4th, last place is 112 points.
Mid 3rd round is 190 points.

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.

Only first rounders get the fifth year option and after the 2020 CBA made them fully guaranteed they are more problematic now. Breer was talking about it this morning.

I think Howell and Corral are about the same in terms of gambles.  would have felt the same in general landing either.  I like Corrals game a little bit more.  Worry more about Corral having a little too much fun.  But Charlotte is probably a good spot for him vs some other cities.

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

We're going to find out.  You may be right.  I hope you're wrong.

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

Welp, would you rather pay 20 million for one year of Baker Mayfield or would you rather pay like 4 million over 4 years for baker Mayfield?

I'm going to be straight up honest, I love the pick and I'm scared because Rhule seems to too.

I mean, I hope I'm wrong. I hate this QB purgatory.

 i didnt read he had trouble wiht the law. What have you seen?

I think 4 Corners got this from his parole officer.

You guys are hilarious.  Put in a tampon and stop crying.  This is a great shot at a qb. There's nothing to lose here but time. Time we were going to lose anyway. 

The kid has skills that could help him become something we have not seen since Cam was his old self, a competent qb. I will take that all day everyday. 

He could actually unseat Sam by the quarter pole.  Dare I say he may just kick PJ to the curb permanently?

If he has the brains I'd say the ceiling is a taller Drew Brees, I know they did a lot of RPO but Corral sat in the pocket when it was time to, unlike Pickett and Malik. He gets the Heinicke thing from willingly getting injured

[L-TownCat]

He’s got a little Pat Mahomes swagger to him.  Not saying he’s that good.  But he passes the eye test.

Sooo... What jersey # do you think he will choose? Lol  DJ Moore already owns #2 so I doubt he'll give that up. I think #4 and #9 are available.

Also, if both Corral and Ridder actually pan out and become starters, we could potentially have the future of the NFL South in their hands for years to come.

Last thought: The whole irony in all this? Matt Corral played for Ole Miss, So did Eli Manning.. and who was Manning's OC/HC in NY.... Ben Macadoo....
