I know it's extremely early. Book isn't written and corral isn't around to defend himself. But, looking at the flashes every other peer in his tier is putting up(cough Willis, pickett, ridder) did we really miss here? 

You answered your own question.  It's too early to know because he was in a completely different situation and then got hurt with very chance to show anything.

He looked like a rookie who didn’t get many reps which is exactly what he was. He looked awful the first game and better his second. He will keep getting better with more experience. Let’s see what Baker can do this year which will help dictate how we handle Corral in the future.

He looked woefully out of his depth. And a few more training camp reps were not going to make the difference.

I want to see a silver lining here, but losing a year of practice really will hurt his development. What he will need to do is spend the year watching, and conditioning, and conditioning, and conditioning.

He's very talented, but he's more raw than I expected him to be. So a year riding the bench with no expectations will be good for him. But as others have pointed out, if Rhule isn't hear next offseason, I doubt his future will be with us.

The focus was on Baker-Darnold. I would wager that other quarterbacks mentioned have had more coaching than Corral. If he is able to recover and develop into a solid backup It will not be a wasted pick. It looks like Baker was taking him under his wing. Odds are that Baker will be #1 next year anyway.

The idea that corral wasn’t coached is baffling. It’s not like they told him you’re not allowed in the quarterback room. He got coaching he still gets coaching he just got injured and transitioning to this game is not as easy as some might think. Going from a single read system to a multi read system is a big adjustment. 
 

that all being said. He did look out of place and I think no matter which team he is on, he would have looked the same. He is a project and we all know this. The future for the kid can be bright based on how he handles it and grows.

Sam Howell was woefully undervalued too. He was considered possible first overall pick for 2 seasons untill UNC was gutted, and he still played just as well or better than Pickett. Still baffling to me how he went in the 5th.

Howell included... Everyone one of these guys I have seen have shown something even in limited reps. Corral... I haven't seen it. Not a flash or anything. He looks overwhelmed. Could be wrong but this is starting to feel like grier all over again.. Or tony pike.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
