just out of curiosity, who else would you have up there with him? 

I had Pickett as my one. I also think his ceiling is Andy Dalton, so that should say a lot.

But I also threw "Andy Dalton" at Joe Burrow, so consider that.

interesting about the andy dalton-joe burrow thing. yeah, i don't expect much from Pickett beyond what will be an ok and overhyped rookie season.

Corral could amount to not much of anything, but of anyone in this class i think he's got the best chance to be good. i'm hoping he is. i'm tired of not having a QB worth a crap.

I saw an earlier podcast he did when he was sober. He did break downs on the bunch and he came away with the same opinion.  I hope he is right. 

I think he's on a lot of meds for his spleen.  Not 100% on that.

it sounds kinda like Rodgers’ play style.

That would be nice.

"Insane athlete, he's the quickest quarterback in the draft.

That sounds good.  Hope he's right.

I think Corrall is more fiery and competitive than Darnol.  He also seems to embrace his role as a leader where Darnold just wants to be "one of the guys".

We will see.  Honestly I hope Sam does great with protection.  Would be nice to have a vet to mentor Matt.

Really good stuff in here that gives some insight into his thinking as a QB and leader. The guy is smart and serious about what he's doing.

I'm stoked!  Is that still a good saying or did I just shoe my age.  2 hours away from Scotch.

How hard is it to be more fiery than Darnold? I bet he even delivered the "You'll regret trading me" line to the Jets in a monotone voice.

You think?

Sometimes I wonder what its like to bust your butt your entire life to get to the NFL just to have everyone say your probably going to suck.

Corral's was really a tell of 2 seasons. The first 5-6 games he was off the charts and being hyped as the Heisman frontrunner and a top 10 pick.   Then Ole Miss got hit with the injury bug pretty bad. They lost 2 starting OL and 2 sometimes all 3 starting receivers. Matt also got beat up himself trying to carry the team to a win over Tennessee. 30 rushes and 38 passes.    Dude is a competitor and a winner.

Steve Smith covered something pretty close to this this recently, when talking about Hall of Fame inductions / Sam Mills.

Burrow just didn't really impress me other than his crazy high level of intangibles. He just seemed like a gamer more than anything.

100% inaccurate. 

I still think Pickett is the odds on favorite to be the best of this class but I also view the chances of any hits as pretty low.
