“Neither Kenny Pickett nor Malik Willis were under serious consideration”

And yet the huddle moaned for two months that Rhule would take him at 6 like it was even a question but rather a certainty 

Consider that the team is likely to claim they had Corral ranked higher than they actually did. Not uncommon. Hence why you should basically always ignore what a team "claims" they had a player ranked/rated. It's almost always BS.

But not always...

We had indications of this before the draft as well. And it fits in with McAdoo's MO.

I can't believe this narrative is still being pushed. I want nothing to do with Baker or California G.  

It rhey want a true veteran presence,  then sign Foles. At least he won't embarrass himself and he knows he wouldn't be coming here to be a long term answer.

Foles just signed with the Colts.

Not always but I take what they say with a grain of salt. Hard to know what is attempting to control the narrative and what is actual fact.

Also not sure how much input McAdoo has in our draft board. Then again, Phil Snow was largely responsible for Sam Darnold, so who knows what random voice causes a decision in our organization these days.

I can say this--we were lucky to get Corral in the third round.  I think he is under-rated.  Play him when he is ready and never look back--

Not exactly true. All Snow did was give a comment on Darnold when watching film. He did not advocate for signing Darnold.  Rhule took that and ran with it.

Yeah but that ties back into exactly what I am saying. All it took was Snow telling Rhule that he looked like Stafford and it was off to the races. 

So will McAdoo have that kind of influence on Rhule or will it just be whatever person talked to him last? It seems like with the commenta Rhule has made that he isn't exactly an expert on prospect evaluation. So it's going to come down to those around him that he listens to. Obviously, last time it was Phil Snow. Who was it this past time? McAdoo? Fitterer? Some homeless guy that showed him some YouTube videos?

Ellis, Verge and others had Corral as our number one QB prior to the draft.

I know there's narrative manipulation and all, but this is one I'm buying.

Hell, they'd have to have been fortune tellers to see how this played out.
