He's old as Darnold and has to learn a NFL system. I would love him in the mid first round but not top 5. There are better choices. 

I like him but I was thinking of a day 2 guy that could maybe win the job but definitely be a 5-6 year solid backup. Maybe not even for us since we need a vet and to give Corral another training camp and preseason. We're in murky waters and might have to keep some combination of 3 QB's again next year because we need the options and can't risk leaving one on practice squad to get poached

Getting QBs poached is the least of my concerns. Hell, I'd love to have the "problem" of three NFL roster caliber QBs.

Hooker would be good for a team that's already got a pretty good team and needs a QB on a cheap deal to come in. He has all the tools you need but he won't have a long career because of his age. He will be 25 at the time of the draft and 28 before he's settled in as a NFL QB. Crazy to think Lamar Jackson is about to get paid his first mega deal and he's 25! 🤣

So we have PJ/Minshew whoever vet. Corral looks good in preseason, and we draft a guy. Unless they trade Corral to another team I can't see how you can cut one and hope they get to the practice squad and stay there. Minshew would be signed off a practice squad 12 months ago, PJ is starting to get there if he keeps up his current play

Corral has a long way to go to convince me he's an NFL roster caliber QB. The guy looked atrocious. I wouldn't be making any decisions with this roster assuming Corral is a lock to be on it.

    • So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.   
    • My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
