Was Matt Corral the Target or a Panic Pick?

After Ridder and Willis was taken, Carolina pulled the trigger on the trade.  Did they panic pick a qb?  And when can we call him Golden Corral?

Right now he's just Corral, if he plays decent...O.K. Corral and Golden if he's a boss

I know people will say they're just saying it, but Verge said this before the draft.

Yeap.

His release and processing is wild...if he can keep his brain in the right place, he could be a legit starter...IMO.  Had good coaching as well.  He needs to sit a year, but I'm not sure that he will unless we snag Baker.

Keep hyping that third rounder that you wanted at #6.

 

Coral was probably the target all along he wants a Russel Wilson clone.

My opinion is my own I don't tell you to say dumb stuff you post don't try to control mine.  Muted

Apparently we tried to get back in the draft sometime in the second but thought the price was too high. As the QBs fell we kept monitoring it and looking for trade partners. Finally the cost was reasonable so we found our partner and made the pick. Instead of panic buying it was just the opposite. We kept monitoring and trying to balance cost of moving up versus not jeopardizing next year by giving up a 1 or 2.  Fitterer had few picks but obviously maximized his haul. Anyone who thinks we did anything besides a  great job doesn't have a clue about drafting.

This is kind of a big deal.

If another team was asking for more compensation than we wanted to give up, Marty would just swallow hard and overpay.

Fitterer doesn't panic. He backs off and waits till he feels the price is right.

I dont think we'll ever really know the truth. They're going to spin it as if they got their guy. Its likely that the coaches were split on who ranked where. My concerns about Matt Corral are his inaccuracy with the deep ball and his small frame. But we took him in the 3rd. It hardly cost us anything.We didnt reach panic. We got an Elite tackle. And Baker Mayfield is likely NOT coming now. There's cap money to address other needs and this team is still very young. Getting Malik would have been Magical... but this front office hasn't done much to deserve that kind of good favor.  

 

I doubt it was a panic. I think most likely it was situation they had thought about. It was smart to move up quickly if there was a guy there they wanted. Otherwise they would have went Mayfield.

If you told me that we would get Icky and Corral and we didn't have to trade a 1, 2, or a star player to achieve that....I'd have simply not believed you.

He may not make it, and odds say he won't...but I liked him more than any QB in this draft.

Getting those two guys gets them an A+ in my book. I was happy just getting either Icky or Neal and after that I considered it a success. Corrall was my favorite QB, but I never thought we'd be able to get him after going LT with the 6. I'm quite satisfied.

Same.  Feels like we made smart decisions...which is very rare for the Panthers in general...and certainly rare in the draft.

I'm very happy, even if it all blows up...at least it was the right calls...IMO.

Umm, the draft value of a future 3rd and pick 137 isn’t close to a mid 2nd. We gave up more like mid 3rd round value for a late 3rd round pick. That’s great value if we really like him that much. I really hope he works out because that would make up for the disasters of picks and cap space for Sam and Teddy.

Remember how easy it was to build around Russell Wilson all those years ago?

If he hits...we can do the exact same thing.  This is as excited as I have been as a fan in many years.

Having a quality FO will do that. I'm not sure we have ever had better to be honest. Still Rhule has to coach right for it to work.

    • He played like the kid coming out of Alabama. That's what he has done and what everyone expected him to do from the jump. What almost everyone failed to consider was what it would take to get him to play like that in the nfl. Turns out it was just a matter of confidence. 
    • This is actually a good discussion that dime to Legette was about 35 yards very accurate but not the TD throw to AT, but I definitely found Bryce hitting passes extremely similar to Andy I didn’t think Bryce could a couple weeks ago but that’s just not true he can. 32 sec mark he drops a dime 40 yards down the field where only Cooker can catch it with plenty zip with elite accuracy, I’d say the exact same dime Andy threw just diff part of the field. Bryce is showing he can make every throw Andy can make.  And your question is way to specific to find examples but I can find you very similar plays and If my boy Legette catches the dam ball Bryce might be able to have a deep TD pass that traveled about 30+ yards in the air we just need him to catch the ball and take off up the field but that’s not my argument I’m here to show Bryce throwing similar darts to Andy in his first year of being in a competent offense. TMJ and DJ Chark Mingo Ian Thomas lol and others as your go to weapons I’d say can have a major negative affect on your performances. But to address the argument here Bryce has film doing what Andy can do here’s the proof. (See video above)
    • I agree with all of that and Fitterer definitely sucked.  Some of that may also be blamed on the fact that he did not start with a fresh regime to come in.  So he had already burned some of his wick when we were starting over with a new coach (twice). The reality is that we do not often see players traded for that kind of package in the NFL today.  We don't see teams selling off star players for large hauls to start a re-build.  Whether or not that is the correct decision is up for debate.  But in the NFL it's observable that the opposite is mostly the case.  Teams tend to over value present assets vs future assets. It all goes back to the fact that "now" is all that matters if you're running an NFL team.  They say the NFL stands for "not for long".  You don't have the luxury to sow a field that won't be harvested until after you're gone.  Nobody's that selfless in NFL front offices.
