Kidding around and my personal fandom for Sam aside - this is a solid point.
 

I wonder how much the off field issues would have been discussed if his first name was Jamal instead of Matt. Makes you think! 

I'm not a huge fan of the pick but oh my god how many more times can you bitch randomly on this thread? You should take this most recent one to the tinder box and file an official complaint with the internet keyboard trailblazers over there. You know who I'm talking about right? The guys over in the tinder box who bitch constantly about societal problems online and appear so passionate yet 99% do absolutely nothing in real life in their own unique communities to help fix the problems they supposedly see because that is so much more work than pretending to be a social justice warrior on a message board.

Lol took the most talented QB of this draft class and all it cost was a 3rd next year. That’s worth it 100 times out of 100 don’t care how good or bad he turns out. Great job this draft addressing our two biggest needs and not reaching in either pick so far. Very happy.

Well, 3rd round pick next year and a 4th round pick this year but regardless, I've got no complaints. For the potential he has that is a pretty good steal.

I am just so, so, so happy we didn't trade away next years first or second rounder

That is the biggest win. 

I'm nitpicking by complaining about the third rounder tbh. 

That being said. This pick at this point in the draft is an A+ for me. All of Corral's negatives have conceivable paths to be corrected. Whenever you have a guy who goes lower than expected or a guy like Pat Mahomes gets drafted after Mitch. It's always fun to go back and look at why they went lower than they did. Usually it's for dumb reasons. 

Corral's reasons aren't without merit but they are definitely things that can be improved. 1- He's lanky and needs to fill out his frame. Great his job is now to eat, sleep, workout, and play football. 2- He played in a pro style offense. Ok this isn't a problem intrinsic to him, he may flourish in a pro style offense. 3- He has off the field issues. It seems like he is candid about his problems and has tried to address them. To me that actually shows maturity. No one is perfect, it's how you pick yourself up after that defines you.

 

Is Corral a sure thing? Hell no. Is he worth a swing at pick 94. fug yea and we got him without giving up too much.

 

This has been an A+ draft.

We were drafting a QB no matter what. Doesn't matter that Corral's deep ball is worse than Darnold's. Fitt had to check the QB box. Pointless. On the good side we only gave up a 3rd round pick in 2023, and I can accept that. It could have been a lot worse.

      Nobody likes moral victories, but...

      I don't really like the phrase, "moral victory". I get what's meant by it, but does that mean that if you do the opposite (play poorly but win) it's an immoral victory? 🤔

      Team is looking good for next season

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      I blame Evero because he is overrated. Vance Joseph created the defense in Denver that he took credit for. Wilks ran the ball down his throat and Darnold had a 103.8 rtg.  Last year we were decent in yards allowed, and horrible in everything else. Only reason? We kept giving up good field position.  He's had his choice of players to bring in since his scheme is so "complicated." Maybe he should stop trying to be so fancy like running Cover 4 on 3rd and 1 earlier and focus on fundamentals like tackling. These years of Eric Washington, Phil Snow, and Evero must have gotten you confused on what a real defense looked like. Go back and watch the McDermott and Wilks years- this dude is sofT.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I tried to make it a point in the opening post that I don't think the offense is a finished product. I think we still need more talent at WR, better play calling, catch more consistently, elimate ridiculous penalties,  and be more consistency in scoring points. I'm just saying, they look markedly better than last year imo. They have scored 20 or more in 6 games and 30 or more in 2 games. And that's particularly notable considering they only mustered 10 points and 3 points in first 2 games of this year and they got blanked on 0 points two games in a row to wrap up last season . I'd say that's a market improvement.  I'm not crowning them and saying we have a top 10 offense or anything.  I'm comparing them to themselves in recent history.
