I know many of you have Sam Howell lower on your draft boards and I personally think it's a mistake.

In 2020 when Carolina had great weapons and a porous defense Sam continually kept them in the game.  

We all know he has the arm to play in the NFL and IMO all the other tools to do well.  Many want to put 2021 as gauge on Sam.  If you had switched 2020 and 2021 season Sam would clearly be the best QB in this draft.   I don't think his skills diminished or were a flash in the pan.  He just didn't have the supporting cast he had in 2020. I am a Tarheel football fan along with ECU. (student there many moons ago) UNC is not a powerhouse football program. UNC cannot replace NFL level talent like the Ohio States and Alabamas can. What Sam had in 2020 cannot be replaced and it showed.  You can't blame Sam for the lack of talent around him.

Assuming we fix our line.  Sam would have the weapons here.  We have quality Wideouts and depending on CMCs health a good to great running game. 

Many dislike him and that's your opinion but IMO we will regret passing on him.   I believe he is going to have a long career in the NFL. 

 

I agree with you. He's my second QB in this draft. I think he could be an nfl QB too.

I’d be happy with Howell, but I think we can get him later. I would prefer a trade down (not likely in this draft) or if we could trade CMC for Buffalo’s first (anything else is bonus) and use it for Howell. We could walk out with Cross and Howell in the first.

We're gonna trade everything for Watson then watch complaining for years about how Watson has no help.

Shhh. I’m trying to pretend like that’s that happening. I’m over here in denial and you are trying to ruin it for me!

Watson will be a Seahawk….

This is exactly my concern.  Watson is a great QB, not even debatable.  But there is no way we give up talent plus draft picks for him and still find a way to support him.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.

      Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
