Similar logic was used to draft Matt Corral.  He was their best QB in a bad class, so they thought there was value in the 3rd.  At least QB is worth it if it hits though.

Scott dumbass fitterer went on tv and said they had a first round grade on him and promptly put his ass at 4rth string.  fuging clown show

I know people wanted Frazier but we STILL haven't drafted a center so that must have not been high on our list... 

As far as RB i think most people were expecting us to draft a back in 2023 and were fine with that. But we didn't need to do that in the 2nd round to get an impact player at the position. Sure there are the McCaffrey's and the Barkley's but those are rare talents and even then selecting them with a high first is debatable for the team drafting them. The position is largely a mid round investment now.

One could reasonably argue the FO is taking an unnecessary calculated risk with Center. They're going to have to invest a pick in the position next year. Idk what the class looks like but it's as close as you can get to an automatic need for investment regardless. It's overdue.

The ironic thing is if we had to go QB with that pick we would have been better off just drafting Howell like a number of people were clamoring for. He didn't have the personal baggage that Corral brought along. I empathize with Matt I was hoping he would overcome those struggles. He did not. But in fairness to him I think there was a disconnect between Rhule and the front office at that point where Matt Rhule was just being a bitch and basically did what John Fox did with Jimmy Clausen and fed Corral to the wolves because he wanted no part of a rookie QB. In that regard Corral was setup to fail from the jump.  I mean there's no other way to look at it with how Rhule let Ron Rivera's team tee off on Corral behind that 3rd and 4th string OL in the preseason. That's a coach who never wanted that player.

If you watch anyone who's great at doing anything, they make it look effortless.  Matt Corral looked like he was swimming upstream every time he was on the football field to me.
