You go from an unplayable quarterback to a league average one. Ideally, he can be a formidable bridge QB ala Alex Smith who’s good enough to allow you to be decently competitive while you wait to make a move and pounce for a legitimate franchise guy.

I just don't see how trading a future late day three pick for Baker Mayfield is the same as what we did for Darnold. Darnold had never been good when we traded for him, and we gave up a second and a fourth. Baker literally won a game in the playoffs a year ago. Of course that Cleveland roster is better than what we have now, but I just get sick to my stomach thinking about having to watch Sam Darnold again. They're not going to be bad enough for CJ or Bryce even with Sam I don't think. If CMC can stay healthy, with some Dont'a sprinkled in, behind a revamped offensive line we might could do a passable 2020 Browns impersonation on O. I just can't stomach to watch Darnold again, and Corral was the 94th overall pick. There are like two occasions of a dude being taken in that range and performing as a rookie. I hope this happens. Doesn't seem like much of a risk and increases our chances of being competitive.

If we truly want him I don’t understand why we are so hung up over a few million dollars. It won’t carry over into next year and I think we have the space to make it happen. I just don’t understand

It will be nothing significant. If he had an actual scoop why isn’t he reporting it?

I honestly wonder if Sam and a pick for Jimmy could be in the cards. For SF, it gives them a veteran with loads of game experience to add to their room in case it doesn’t work out. For CAR, it gives them a more reliable option capable of operating the offense they’re attempting to run. Also saves SF $6m to the cap. Both are just one year deals so teams can reevaluate next year. I’d do that. We all want to see Corral but if he were anywhere near being ready to ply as a rookie he would have gone long before 94

Sure, I’ll be the optimist. I’m one of his harshest critics but it’s not like he’s experiencing severe, career-altering injuries. It does seem as if most of his injuries are just mild, but since the team is out of the playoff chase so early they don’t see a need to rush him back. He’s had two years to rest and recover, I think he’s due at least one more season of health. I’ll say it’s this one. Doesn’t he mean he might not get nicked for a game or two, but I’ll say he plays in 12+ games this year.

I interpret “bombing” interviews as “he got that dawg in him”

And I want to be very clear I'm in no way endorsing it, I just still have a hard time believing Sam is your week 1 starter.

I know we just drafted Corral, who is certainly a fun day 3 project QB but when is the last time a day two QB came and immediately performed at even an average level for an NFL starter? I guess Dalton, Carr, and Dak could maybe be examples but historically speaking it's not something you can rely on. We still have a lot of available cap space, and do we really think Rhule is hitching his wagon to Sam D in his make or break year? Because I truly don't see Corral starting until November at the earliest, if he ever starts at all this year. We still have plenty of available cap space, I'm just trying to read between the lines here. Because if we aren't still pursuing this Clowney should have been here yesterday.

If Burns goes down we may have the worst pass rush in the league, questions at LB, questions at S, questions at CB2. They look fine but nowhere near the league's best imho

Darnold threw x3 the number of INT’s that Corral did in their last years of college, but yeah sure.

Player comparisons are so fuging stupid.

I mean in the sixth round that’s not awful

Jamaree Slayer or whatever still out there?

I hope this is what happened, and I think it’s the theory that makes the most sense. HOWEVER, Fitt did say earlier he didn’t want to deal any more draft assets and maybe Rhule looks at a rookie as a chance to extend his job some. but no if I had to guess I think what you said makes sense

Likely would be awesome

No

If Justyn Ross falls super far how do you not just roll the dice at some point

Howell is just ridiculous value right now. I had a slightly higher grade on Corral but at some point he’s going to have to be BPA on someone’s board. I could see a team not even necessarily needing a QB just draft him anyways and maybe you can develop him some to raise his value and flip for higher picks in the future. I feel bad for Howell this slip wasn’t warranted imo. I think so many teams are just telling themselves they’ll go QB next year. I can’t remember the last time a QB as good as Howell was there on Day 3.

That was 137

We pick 144, 149, 199, and 242 today. I don’t even think it’s worth it to draft for need at this point in the draft. Just bring in BPA/athletes.

I think the discourse is just all over the place already. Acting like he was brought in to be the “quarterback of the future” just isn’t true right and is very unfair to Corral himself. This was the 94th pick in the draft. We know that historically QB’s pan out at a low rate past the first round. If Corral does become the face of the franchise one day? Beautiful - it will go down as one of the best picks in franchise history. but right now he’s more of a project. When is the last time a team entered a season with a third round pick to be their QB? We don’t need to put unreasonable expectations on this guy from the start.

He's a tough study because his college offense was so gimmicky. That could be because Kiffin saw limitations in his game, but more likely it's just how Kiffin runs his offense. His arm is solid and he's a legitimate dual threat.

Love how he makes plays with his legs but I'm not sure how often he'll be able to use them in the league. That will be one of the biggest questions to answer

This is a hilarious troll job. We're going to go to bed tonight in the exact same spot we entered the day in
