"NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport had some strong words about former Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral after the Carolina Panthers picked Corral in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft on Friday.

After four seasons and two dominant campaigns at Ole Miss, Corral was the fourth quarterback selected, going at No. 94. Rapoport said the Panthers viewed Corral as the quarterback in this class with the best college tape, but his slide to the back of the third round might have been caused by off-the-field issues."

Wow I had no idea he was going through so much.

Yay! We drafted Jason Peter again.

Jason Peter was addicted to opiates. From opiates it’s a straight line to heroin. It’s much different. 
 

the panthers also drafted rashard Anderson in 2000 who was literally selling heroin lol.

Kids go through growing pains with learning their limits and hopefully grow from it.  ANd that can bleed into their early 20s as well.  Just gotta hope for the best.

The bigger concern was the difficulty in interviews with teams--that's when they throw a lot of concepts at these kids so paired with the Wonderlic, just hope he picks things up.  I mean, Dak and Mahomes were kind of in similar boats coming out and had to learn a lot quickly.  I'm hopeful.  Just hope he doesn't do any stupid sh*t, he's a professional now, it isn't college anymore.

How many NFL player got in a fight in high school? A crazy amount.  And how many got in a fight with Wayne Gretzky’s son? One.  That’s why we hear about that.  I totally disregard that. 

Did he party early in college and not take football serious? Sounds like it.  Is it well documented he changed that while in college? Yep.  Hell, that’s the path of how many successful people? 

Is he the safest pick ever? Probably not.  But that’s why he is a 3rd round pick.   

Not to pick nits but partying in college is a bit different then what he has admitted to.  He had/has a problem with alcohol.  Thats one of the concerns Ian is referring to.  You can spin it anyway you want but the concerns are real.    That said its just a 3rd/4rth and is easy to move off of if something comes up

What has he admitted to? I haven’t saw details anywhere.

Depression and alcohol issues

What alcohol issues? Again specifically have you read anything that has any details there? If not wtf are we talking about here. Did he get caught drunk pissing in an alley? Did he show up drunk to games? Practices? Or did the guy party too hard early in his college experience in his off time?

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
