His 2020 tape was very good, I think some his drop in production really is a product of the ankle injuries, you could see some of the accuracy fall off after those. You can watch pretty much all his reps from every game on YouTube, and he does read the field at times, his mid range accuracy and quick release is pretty awesome.

I saw the same thing. His 2020 tape was definitely better. Then I looked at the roster and saw the changes from the year before and I can see that as a contributing factor as well. His line did not block as well and his receivers were borderline talents. He was throwing more off-balance and off of his back foot because the pressure was getting to him so much faster. I would have strongly discouraged him from playing in the bowl game if I was Lane Kiffin. It was a miracle that he wasn't hurt earlier in the year and the bowl game was just another test of the inevitable.

Interesting seeing the High School highlights. Definitely not heavy on the RPO there. Also a couple 2 read plays, and that pump fake killing those teenagers

Another tool in the arsenal that "Baby Hands" Pickett can't utilize. Corral has a very good pump fake.

Yeah watching some random games, there were so many horrible drops in 2021. Definitely off targets balls at times, but lots of catchable drops. I think that's why the scrambling for first downs went up. He also slides way more than he gets credit for. Everyone made a big deal about Howell losing his weapons, and no one mentions Corral losing Elijah Moore yet finding a way to have a better record than 2020.

Not to mention Kenny Yeboah at TE.

Plus his offensive line from 2020 to 2021 only saw one starter stay at the same position, his LT.

They had his RG move to RT, his C move to RG, brought in a transfer C to start, and started a new LG. To say they were unsettled on the line is an understatement.

His starting RT, Co-starting runningback, and top 2 receivers were picked up as undrafted free agents. Only Snoop Conner was drafted on offense other than Matt Corral, but one could argue that he very well could've gone undrafted as well. 

Corral definitely elevated his team.

While playing against some tough defenses/teams in the SECW.

    • What I'm saying is that he wouldn't be on my board to be drafted. He'd be on the "if these guys go undrafted, give them a call" board.
    • Like I said before, I don't get the "only as a UDFA" sentiment, you have to keep following your board. Now if Pavia falls to what amounts to the supplementary UDFA section of the board, that's great, but if he's sitting at the top when you're picking day three (yes, I can't see him being drafted before day three), then you pull the trigger. Rounds 5-7 don't generally provide keepers anyway, you can use them for players that you want to take a closer look at that you may be able to develop.  Pavia may not translate to the pros. Nobody would bet anything of value on it. But, he was highly productive in college due to his play extension abilities, "body torque" mechanics on short and intermediate throws, and good accuracy on said throws. And, he has that dawg in him to be sure.  All that being said, Drew Allar will probably be able to be had on day three, and if it comes down to it--due to nothing but my prejudice against short, weak-armed QBs--I'd pick Allar.
    • Yeah, receivers contracts are crazy, and it's probably not going to change. You almost have to take your swings--keep some picks at WR churning between rounds one through three in order to keep your costs down and give you options at contract time. Creating that value surplus appears to be more important at WR and all the premium positions than getting a non-premium position player who generally are just easier to replace as it pertains to value. The holy grail is to hit on a premium position late, but due to the gradually declining hit rate on days one and two that drops off a cliff day three, you basically have to get lucky.
