That makes it complicated--and why they probably won't "sell the farm" this year for a QB. Some think MT is terrible, but I think he needs the right system- Pittsburgh is a nice fit for him, IMO

I have some insider information on Larry Brown...The Redskin team doctor then had a son I used to be very closed friends with---the doctor's name was Gabe Mirkin and his son was named Gene. Gene told me that Larry Brown used a lot of cocaine, so bad that he "burned up" his nasal passages. It was kept secret for a long time---Gene is now a doctor in Annapolis MD Did this have anything to do with his career? Maybe, maybe not.

I just think they are really being transparent and desperate--that can't be a good thing on draft day.

You pretend to know his habits. You do not. He reportedly has been alcohol free since before July 2021. What information do you have? I provided a direct quote from Corral about being alcohol free. Can you call him a liar? THE QUOTE: "I don't know why," Corral said. "I got tired of feeling like that. Just tired of making excuses. I got tired of having vices for my problems, like drinking. It f---ed with me. I don't even drink anymore." https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/ole-miss-matt-corral-faced-a-reckoning-head-on-allowing-a-team-leader-to-emerge-on-the-other-side/ Or you can spread crap from a TMZ episode a few years back...

It is SO refreshing to see an intelligent post by someone who has the acumen to support an opinion with facts and concrete reasons. I wish others would take note. The QB position is evolving and Corral has the skills and experience to run the RPO in a high-powered offense. With a good running game and improved OL, he could become very special.

He is big and tough to move. Nice call.

Would have won that fight were it not for that dame. Shoulda taken Mick's advice.

yes, especially if Willis goes second. With Atlanta at 8 and Seattle at 9, someone will leapfrog the Panthers. Heck, houston can get in on it too.

I think its that damn hot girlfriend of his. "Women weaken legs." Heard that from a professional boxing trainer one time.

Just to make sure that we don't live in the same neighborhood, can you provide your zip code?

I was interested-apparently Buffalo was "revamping" the defense and signing big money Von Miller--so if he has the desire, a 1 year contract with Star would be a good signing.

I see your logic and think you are right-I think that is what the panthers are thinking. Haynes and Luvu flashed in 2021 with many fewer reps than Reddick at that position. They combined for 4.5 sacks. That is almost the same rate of return we got from Reddick. I think Fitterer said they are counting on them to step it up with more playing time---if we are going on 2021 stats, if you doubled their time on the field in the absence of Reddick, that would be 9 sacks between the two. If Burns steps up and Ioannitis can give us some inside pressure--we could be better off than in 2021--theoretically

"I don't even drink anymore." "I made a promise to myself I was going to be different," he added. "I was always doing something for other people." ---Matt Corral, July 21, 2021.

That is the way I am leaning at the moment.

If all that Zod speaketh is truth, then I would sayeth that it is rather certain that we will grabbeth a QB on April 28. And so it was written.

I personally think he is the sleeper here--had he had 2020 in 2021, he'd be in the top 10 discussion.

Preach the truth--nobody does!

To be honest, I secretly want Willis, but understand that he could be a bust--I logically want to win now and that makes Pickett my choice---but I do not want to see 2 fumbles per game as BC is bull rushed into his blind side. Corral--I think he is quietly the most stable, has extensive experience in the RPO etc. And he took a Mississippi team and they won offensive shoot outs. That offense averaged about 30 pts a game. So I am torn and just going to sit back and watch the show.

That was my first thought--however, Corral has not been given the hype and press the other 2 QBs received, and maybe they have them rated about equal? Who knows, but you are right--hitting at QB is so difficult, you don't compromise to add a second or third rounder--only if your preferred QB is the third QB on most other boards.

Are you responding to this quote from my post?: "With Trubiski, I tend to think the Steelers will sit at #20 and not trade up unless Willis is there around pick #10 or so" Please read more carefully.

And you are....? I am sure you have heard that 1000 times too.

Good thoughts---I would add that Atlanta has so many needs, I think they either trade back or they take a top WR at 8. They literally have nobody to throw the ball to right now. They miss the Julio Jones days--so I am guessing Wilson or London, both WRs. Full disclosure: The chances of me being right is approximately .014%. Do not use this information to bet the mortgage. Seattle is the team that I think will move up if Willis is there at #5.

Detroit: If you want a QB, hope that the Jags do not take Hutchinson #1 overall (likely). He is from Michigan, and the Lions would love him. I still think Goff is better (this year) than the draft picks, so spending the second overall pick on Willis may be exciting, but would it be smart? The Lions are key. But if I am them, I use the second first rounder (#32) and the second rounder (#34) to move back into the middle of the first round for a QB--if that is what I decided to do. The Lions are desperate for a WR, so I think they could trade away the #2 pick (Atlanta? Seattle?) and move back for Ohio State's Wilson if Hutchinson is gone and they do not like Thibideaux. The Steelers at 20 are going to be agressive for Willis--how aggressive? It would take 2 first rounders and a second to move all the way up for Willis (to get him at #5). Are they that much in love with him, or would they rather sit back and go with Trubiski and hope he falls closer to them? With Trubiski, I tend to think the Steelers will sit at #20 and not trade up unless Willis is there around pick #10 or so. The Falcons seemed to grab Mariota in a quick, face-saving move. At 8, will they get aggressive now and take the second QB when they have nobody to throw to? They have ZERO at WR, and they need an Alpha there. I just think it makes more sense drafting Wilson (WR Ohio St) or London (WR USC). They could trade BACK or DOWN to do this. The Seahawks, assuming they do not grab a veteran QB before the draft, are like Atlanta--they could see what they have in Lock during a rebuilding year, or they could go ahead and grab the QB. Personally, I think they will use some of the Russell Wilson draft capital and move up to #5 for Willis. However, they need pass rushers and OTs as well, so it will be interesting to see if they decide to go with Thibodeaux (They compare him to Khalil Mack on one Seattle site) or OTs Cross or Penning. If you ask me, Willis at #5 in a trade with the Giants is the move. Of course, if Detroit takes Willis at #2 or Houston at #3, all bets are off--it will probably mean that the Panthers cannot trade back if they want one of the top 3 QBs. Did not mean to be so long winded, but I wanted to do a bit of quick research on this viewpoint and I see it as a real possibility. To say, "Ah, there will be a QB there if we move back to #12 or so" could be faulty logic.

Good stuff and I see it. However, if they have first round grades on 3, then they will probably take one somehow. I want T, but the blood is in the water for a QB--gonna be a frenzy!!! a FRENZY I SAY!" (who knows?)

Could be--I feel confident that, barring the trading we know will happen, that a QB will go at Pick 6 and 9. That is IF nobody trades up.
