A neat little tidbit was dropped by Rappaport on the Pat McAfee show today. And that's that if Pickett had gone before the Steelers pick in the first round, Matt Corral was on the short group of guys there would take there.

Seems like there are a legitimate amount of actually credible people out there that thought he was worth a first rounder

32 teams apparently didn't think he was a 1st rounder. I mean....that literally happened.

Then it happened in another whole round.

So anyone claiming they had a first round grade on Corral, Willis, Howell, etc......they clearly didn't.

And teams have been wrong a lot. Russell Wilson went in the 3rd round. Aaron Rodgers was drafted 24th when he almost went number 1, the examples keep going. Pre draft grades are important but don't determine the final product.

Teams have first round grades on multiple players. They have to decide for one when it’s their turn.

Weird posting the last bit of this and not mentioning the first 5 minutes were Rapoport getting hounded on his live draft reaction of Corral. 

Yeah.  Rappaport giving all the excuses for why he dumped on Corral during draft night...my producer made me do it.  Whatever.  You did your job, don't apologize, we know the press likes to  make a story.

If we had a 2nd, we would have picked him with the second, hands down.  Is Corral a better player now that he's drafted in the 2nd.  No. 

In the end, the only way to grade a player is by how he plays after he's drafted.   I look forward to watching that.

Well, 32 teams don't need a QB now do they? Also that logic works both ways. Dudes that were taken 1st and didn't pan out for nothing? Uh...clearly they didn't know the fug they were doing taking them that high. lol

I can understand if you want to lean on the "outlier" hope but the idea that teams had first round grades on guys that went in the 3rd-5th is fuging ludicrous.

QB is a dart throw it’s what you don’t see on tape that determines if they’re a success or not 

Sometimes even the tape lies. Unless you are there day in and day out with each of these players, you don't really know what they are made of. And you don't know how they are going to respond when the bullets start flying.

Yeah. So "some teams are dumb" is your counter?

Listen, I know hope is springing eternal(like it always is after the draft) but we need to be realistic about our 3rd round QB. If we are trying to hype him like he is the next Russell Wilson because he is a 3rd round draft pick....that's not likely to end well.

Don't get me wrong, if there is a franchise that could use a good outlier home run, it's ours. But if you start pinning your hopes on outliers.....well.....that doesn't usually end well.

FWIW:

“There have been 27 quarterbacks selected in the third round in the past 20 years, and most of them weren’t successful in the NFL. By my standards, only one developed into a star, while four were better than average and had good careers. Thirteen had unmemorable careers, and the other nine fall somewhere in between. I divided the picks into five separate tiers. If history is any indication, Rudolph is going to have to beat the odds to be successful in the NFL.”

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
