Yep, people say that plenty of 1st round QBs have been bust, but first rounders have overwhelmingly been the ones under center for Super Bowl Champions. Take Brady out of the equation and the list non-first round SB winning QBs gets really thin.

Brees was a super high 2nd rounder as well as Farve. FYI, the link is broken.

See, this is why it was dumb to let WRs start wearing single digits.

Exception to the rule. By that token you should shop for franchise QBs in 6th round because of Tom Brady.

Those of us who follow the draft had said for months this was a very weak QB class. The 1st round predictions form the media talking heads were based off teams like...oh, let's say the Panthers getting super desperate and taking one of the guys. Goes to show even the perceived "desperate" teams knew this class wasn't worth the 1st round gamble.

Yep, our cap situation for 2023 SUCKS! At this point, the 2022 roster is what it is. Adding another player or two isn't going to tip the scales to make us dramatically better.

3rd round QBs seldomly work out to be starters, period. If he does, great! We got a steal. I'm not holding my breath, though, and that is my entire point. By the way, Hurney was said to have a 1st round grade on Grier. Poo it all you want, but our GM at the time thought he had a steal too. In summary: if Corral ends up QB1, freaking awesome! If Corral busts or peaks out as a QB2, it was to be expected.

Yup, arse end of the round though, so essentially a high 5th. Losing that pick isn't worth fretting over.

I'm not saying he wasn't worth the pick, what I am saying is that those thinking he will develop into our franchise QB probably will be let down. If Corral at minimum turns into a solid QB2, then it's worth the 3rd rounder. I'm just not holding my breath he'll ever be a legit QB1. Remember, Will Grier also had his own Huddle groupies after he was drafted thinking with development Will would eventually be starting caliber. That experiment was short lived.

Corral was the QB I like the most in the mid-rounds. As long as we didn't take him (or any other QB) at #6, I was fine with that...provided we didn't give up the farm to move back into day 2. I imagine Fitts will move back next year the the first or second round to recoup that pick. At the very least we have a successor to PJ Walker beyond this year.

It sucks we had to give up next year' 3rd for him, other than that, I'm okay with this flier pick. Yes, a 3rd round QB pick is a flier unless you drafted him to be a backup. As a starter...complete flier pick. *Russell Wilson argument incoming*.

Ian Thomas, Tommy Tremble (more of an H-back), Colin Thompson and Stephen Sullivan. If we keep 3 TEs, I'm nearly certain Babicz can beat out Sullivan and Thompson, who we've cut, re-signed and placed on the practice squad numerous times.

Doesn't hurt PSU is Rhule's Ala Mater as well. You know he's all about his connections.

Yes, some of these TDs were very easy, but a couple of catches were tough. This is why I think he will do well. He can catch with ease which Thomas and Tremble seemingly have issue with.

The worst kept secret in this draft was we were taking a tackle if any of the big 3 fell to us. I listen to sports talk radio on the way to work in the morning and literally everyone said tackle was the pick at #6 if still there and the QB talk was mostly smoke out of the Panthers' camp (unless there was a run on OT). When all 3 were there at #5, there was no reason for the Giants to fear someone jumping them at #7. Also, how did they know we preferred Ickey over Neal? We just as well could have drafted Neal. Again, it doesn't make sense, but I'm not complaining because I got my #1 rated player as a Panther. I was just 99% sure Ickey would be gone by #6.

What doesn't make sense is the Giants had their pick of ANY, repeat A-N-Y of the big 3 OTs. We had no interest in a defensive player at #6. So they could have easily taken the tackle of their choice at #5 and came back at #7 and still got Thibadeaux. That's the very reason why EVERYONE was shocked that Ickey fell to us.

THANK YOU GIANTS!!!!!!

Calling it now, Babicz will the UDFA that sticks.

YES!!!!! You all will like this dude. Saw a lot of him when I was watching a ton of Trey Lance tape a couple years ago. I was pissed we didn't take a TE, but this dude can do it all!!!!

I consistently mocked us taking a guard. Mays in one or two of them. Obviously I'm cool with this pick.

Dude was never higher than consensus QB4 in this class. Guess what? The top 3 are gone so Howell should be the next QB off the board. Whether that's tonight or tomorrow, we shall see.

This class was such a mixed bag, but yes, I saw some scouts had Corral as the top guy in the class.

We could use ILB and they are going fast.

I think they liked Corral better than Howell.

ON the clock
