I had Pickett as my one. I also think his ceiling is Andy Dalton, so that should say a lot.

But I also threw "Andy Dalton" at Joe Burrow, so consider that.

interesting about the andy dalton-joe burrow thing. yeah, i don't expect much from Pickett beyond what will be an ok and overhyped rookie season.

Corral could amount to not much of anything, but of anyone in this class i think he's got the best chance to be good. i'm hoping he is. i'm tired of not having a QB worth a crap.

I think Corrall is more fiery and competitive than Darnol.  He also seems to embrace his role as a leader where Darnold just wants to be "one of the guys".

We will see.  Honestly I hope Sam does great with protection.  Would be nice to have a vet to mentor Matt.

Corral's was really a tell of 2 seasons. The first 5-6 games he was off the charts and being hyped as the Heisman frontrunner and a top 10 pick.   Then Ole Miss got hit with the injury bug pretty bad. They lost 2 starting OL and 2 sometimes all 3 starting receivers. Matt also got beat up himself trying to carry the team to a win over Tennessee. 30 rushes and 38 passes.    Dude is a competitor and a winner.

Sometimes I wonder what its like to bust your butt your entire life to get to the NFL just to have everyone say your probably going to suck.

Steve Smith covered something pretty close to this this recently, when talking about Hall of Fame inductions / Sam Mills.

Burrow just didn't really impress me other than his crazy high level of intangibles. He just seemed like a gamer more than anything.

100% inaccurate. 

I still think Pickett is the odds on favorite to be the best of this class but I also view the chances of any hits as pretty low.

    • Look into that industry. And you also don't have to pick up the phone. 7 years and most debt is uncolectable as long as you never talk to the collectors. The collectors have so many illegal practices that an entire sub category of lawyers specialize is sueing debt collectors. It's a lot. To make billions in that industry makes it a lock. It's not an emotional statement. In the end the money doesn't care and neither does he. There are people that make a lot, millions upon millions, and then there are billionaires. If they didn't win the big loto chances are to make it to that level takes a certain kind of personality. The what they did to get there does matter. All of this is also documented if you want to take thr time to Google it. The credit industry is interesting and is very predatory.
    • This ain’t breaking news.  The return to field stats on ACLs are what they are…and this was talked about when we drafted him.   In season should be our first looks at him. 
    • I know I didn't play football at the highest level, but I was a rb for 3 years. To make the long story short my senior season I knew we had a chance to win state championship. The team we had the year before was led by our junior class. I sacrificed moving to a weaker position because I knew I had a more talented faster RB behind me. Cut the long story short we make it all the way to the last round before state championship. Early in the game I had a groin injury. But I didn't tell my teammates. I sucked it up and played until halftime. That was when my HC knew I could no longer help my team. Mind you this was in the mountains in Cherokee. It was ice cold the field felt like we were playing on cement. We would go on to lose that game by 40.    My thing is at least try to play through injuries. If you hurt let the coaches bring you out the game. I always had that mindset because that was how I was coached coming up. I would never milk injuries just because my team sucked. Especially when I know I was one of the better players on the team.   CMC a good guy off the field, but when I say fug him as a player I really mean it. He wasn't all in with the Panthers. I just can't respect that as a former football player.
