We pick 144, 149, 199, and 242 today. I don’t even think it’s worth it to draft for need at this point in the draft. Just bring in BPA/athletes.

I thought they gave up 144 to trade up for Corral? I was drunk last night so you'll have to forgive me.

Gotcha. I was lit last night so forgive me.

I'm really interested in who Howell goes to. Zappe may go undrafted. This draft is crazy.

Howell is just ridiculous value right now. I had a slightly higher grade on Corral but at some point he’s going to have to be BPA on someone’s board. I could see a team not even necessarily needing a QB just draft him anyways and maybe you can develop him some to raise his value and flip for higher picks in the future. I feel bad for Howell this slip wasn’t warranted imo. I think so many teams are just telling themselves they’ll go QB next year.

I can’t remember the last time a QB as good as Howell was there on Day 3.

Some names I'd like to see for us

Calvin Austin III WR

Isaiah Likely TE

Zach Tom OG/C

D'Marco Jackson ILB

Justyn Ross WR

Hassan Haskins RB

 

I'd love Zach Tom and Justyn Ross.

I'd also like Isaiah Likely but with Tremble last year and resigning Ian Thomas I doubt it happens.

Like I said last night very few coaches have the luxury of taking on a developmental qb. Most are in win now mode and none of these guys are ready to start right away. All of them need a year to learn an nfl offense and learn how to read nfl defenses. Pittsburgh has the luxury of taking a shot with Pickett because if he fails Tomlin isn't going anywhere.

OL is the most common hits in those numbers. Hell, I say use them all on OL. One hit and it's worth it.

    • It’s not just the height. Bryce is literally petite. You’d be worried about bumping into him in the line at the grocery store. https://x.com/formerlyfiz/status/1837934913175146959?s=46&t=JBd6ZXmGQ3LmWL-ineTnAA and Bryce is not drew brees. That’s one player, stop referencing. Bryce is much closer to the countless productive college qbs who don’t have the skill set to succeed in the nfl. it’s just harder to make that comparison because you don’t remember those people because they’re forgettable.  Bryce is the exact same, except he had a marketing team behind him, he went to bama, and the panthers gave up a fortune for him and some people can’t accept that. 
    • I've finally done my deep dive on Cam Ward since some Huddlers keep harping on the fact that there's no QB worth taking at the top of the draft (blah blah blah). I get it, but...will that ultimately be true? Cam Ward's draft stock is undoubtedly on the rise. It just makes sense due to his gradual improvement over his career, and especially due to his play this season. He has not been afraid to move on for better opportunities from Incarnate Word to Wazzu to the U, and all he has done is sieze those opportunities.  Ward's biggest knock coming into this season was ball security and decision making. Those are two pretty big things, but he has shown growth, and he and his shaky O-line will undoubtedly be tested against the Blue Devils' front. I will say that if Ward continues to show well for the remainder of the season, including in the playoffs against top competition, his stock will climb even higher, giving credence and outright llegitimacy to his campaign to not only be QB1, but pick number one (or two, three, four, or five). At this point, more than just a few scouts consider him QB1 anyway, and with good cause as his traits are just superior to Shedeur Sanders' and every other QB's in this class. His potential and opportunity will give him an easier path to top five or 10 legitimacy as well (as opposed to just being a default higher pick due to being a QB).  So, Ward has the elite traits. Can he put them all together by the end of the season (much like Stroud peaked at the right time a couple of seasons ago)? From my perspective, the Panthers and every other franchise-QB needy team will be in a predicament certainly if Ward does show well for the remainder of the season, and maybe even if he doesn't. If you skip him and he ultimately keeps improving and meets the high potential that many experts believe that he has (including Mel Kiper who has Ward [and Sanders] outside his top 10), then you'll look like a fool yet again. My thing is, are we really in a position to be skipping a guy with that kind of upside, just because he missed top 10 on some scout's---and especially some talking head's big board by a dozen spots (let's say)? Does playing the draft game justify moving down and missing out on an answer that you've needed for the better part of a decade? Perhaps we will see, but we had better be right if we skip him.  Now, again, if Ward continues to ascend, I believe that we should pick him provided that we have the opportunity. There's just no other QB that has that talent, upside and traits in this draft in my mind. Mind you, I didn't say that no other QB would ultimately succeed, because it's all a crapshoot, but Ward has looked damned good so far this season, and he deserves his accolades as one of the best in the country, irrespective of position (and that includes the Travis Hunters, Tetairoa McMillans and Ashton Jeantys of the world). 
    • I mean, if we had drafted him he probably would be struggling here...but not like Bryce. Stroud has been outside the top 10 this season, and looked downright ordinary the other night, but that may be attributed to shaky protection and a loss of weapons.
