"Bottom of the class": Bruce Feldman talks Combine quarterbacks


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

For all those suggesting drafting a QB this year at #6  -  when Rhule is eventually ousted a new coach is going to come in with a new offensive scheme.  And he's going to want "his guy" not some desperation pick from the previous regime.   We're not talking about finding an Andrew Luck or Peyton Manning in the 2022 draft.  

The new coach will get more time and leeway dumping the young QB and making his own choice.   Why tie yourself to a (likely bad) decision that somebody else made ?   Get somebody who matches up exactly with the offense you want to run.  

So a QB in the first is probably a wasted pick that puts the Carolina franchise even further from ever being competitive.  Compare that to drafting a LT or star defensive player in 2022 who the incoming coach will welcome with open arms.

Notice that they didn't really ding Corral's skill level. Perhaps it was in part because he couldn't physically perform at the Combine, but I think it's because they know he has a likelihood of having the real stuff.

I'm not sleeping on Corral. I know he's a wildcard, but at this point, he might be worth the risk. We will see. Like with CMC, my biggest issue with Corral is durability. But I think he can modify his game a little bit to give him a better chance of minimizing injuries

Coral seems to be getting the stigma of Ryan Leaf 2.0

The solution to righting this ship is easy and right in front of our faces.  And it doesnt involve giving up any capital.

 

Build the line in this draft and get your qb next draft.  Why this is a mystery to the folks at Mint st I have no clue

    • While we're talking a fresh prospect that I happen to be a fan of, might as well get on a soapbox: Point 1 - He is not undersized by any means, his length is far above the mean His wingspan is in like the 85th percentile. An interesting note - his wingspan is 5 inches over Khalil Mack, 2 inches over Will Anderson's.  Only 1/2 inch away from the no-production yet size hyped 6'5 267 Shemar Stewart's. For comp - Ez's is around 83", arm length 34".  For NFL comp, the mean for wingspan is 80" and arms 33.5" at for starting EDGE defenders.  So it's not just my isolated comparisons. Point 2 - He isn't just a flashy "pass rush specialist" His film (and testing) shows elite quickness, hand work, and ability to play with the heads of OTs that normal prospects don't grasp. (see my prior post) Testing wise, one of the fastest 3-cones and short shuttles for an edge in years.  Fastest this year for both -- and those two drills are the ones teams look at for pass rushers, usually very indicative of success.  His quickness is off the charts. He's a guy that played well, showed well to those casually watching and those film-studying.  Then he goes out and tests well to back it up.  Apparently interviews super well.  So, I think it's all about his capacity/potential as a run defender.  That's really what it comes down to.  Can he be a 3-down guy or is he a specialist?  I see a 3-downer, his run defense is better than given credit for. A breakdown Ez vs. the NFL mean Arm Length: 34" vs. 33.5" (over) Wingspan: 83" vs. 80" (over) 3-Cone: 6.94 sec vs. 7.23 (WELL over, 95 percentile) Short Shuttle: 4.19 vs. 4.424 (over) Height: 6'2 1/2 vs. 6'3 (slight under) People look at the height a smidge under 6'3 and take that without considering the rest.   I think with Ez, it all comes down to what teams think his run defense upside is.  All it takes is one team - if they think he can become more that a passing down guy, then he could go high.  But if guys like Nik Bonitto and Haason Reddick can turn into these all-arounders, I don't see why this kid can't either who has higher pedigree and better measurables. Now, I prefer Graham, Walker inside, Will Johnson, Barron, and some others over him, but once we're in this tier outside of the top guys, I find the argument way more compelling for Ez over a Mykel Williams or Shemar Stewart.    
    • Well if we’re bringing this guy with character issues in for a visit why not consider Mike Green at 8!?
