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.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
