Who should we be looking at outside the "top 4" QB candidates?

I'd definitely consider kicking the tyres on Jordan Travis. He's looking pretty good for FSU this season.

He’ll be available late. This was his fifth year of college ball, is on the smaller side and hasn’t had that one year to blow you away yet, still.

he looked really impressive against florida. he doesn't look particularly tall. is he a legit 6'1?

Almost everyone looks impressive against the Gator defense the past four years. Mullen killed us. He is on the smaller side for sure, it’s his fifth year of college ball and he threw for just over 20 TDS this year. Those runs he did against Florida are sacks in the NFL. I’d rather keep Corral over him than invest another 4th-7th in a QB. Either get one in the first or rock with Matt next year.

This is an example of what I mean. Brugler who is very much in tune with a handful of FOs and different insiders speaks so cautiously of Penix. His notable sections are about how he wasn’t considered draftable before this season, has a long delivery and is a strider. There is clearly pause in the eval community, still though I think he’s looked great.

It's got to be his injury history.  When at Indiana he never completed a full season healthy. He had two acl tears and a shoulder issue that kept him out. This is the first year he has stayed healthy.  He also was very hesitant to run when he was at Indiana.

If you want to see him carve up a good defense watch his 2020 game vs. Ohio State. Looked much better than Justin Fields that game even though IU lost.

Weird thing to call me when I’ve been asking for us to draft Stroud. I was saying I’d rather go with Corral than draft another small project QB late like Travis.

Im fine with stroud..but i wouldnt connect corral to Travis. my problem with Corral isnt his size.He just hasnt flashed any reason for me to have any faith in him. shoyld be be released? absoutely not. but we would be foolish to guarantee him anything.

He isn’t guaranteed anything. Even if we drafted Travis he’s not looked at like he’s a day 1 starter. He probably doesn’t go until day 3 of the draft. If that’s the case he’s just going to compete with Matt, who is under contract anyway.

agreed... I don't think having Corral should negate or influence Travis as a potential selection. Even if we took say stroud in round 1. Travis as a backup taken in say the 6-7 isnt a bad idea. I think after this season we wipe the qb locker room clean.. Having 3 qbs compete for the spot of back and starter isnt a bad idea.

The reasoning why a lot of you want certain QBs are the same qualities that Corral had coming out of college(quick release, big arm, etc)... draft best D lineman and play Corral.

So you want the new HC to bank his entire first season on a 3rd round rookie that is on IR and looked bad in his limited playing time??  I get keeping him on the roster and letting him compete, but that is one hell of a gamble...

      Verge, why do you like Mykel Williams?

      No, but considering that over a third (~35%) of their schedule are the other three teams in the NFC South and all three have strong starting (and back-up) RBs that the offense leans heavily on to open up the pass game. ATL: Bijan has this season and next season before the Falcons have to make a decision on his fifth-year option, Tyler Allgeier is a proven back-up RB that could start for some teams, and 2024 sixth-round selection Jase McClellan returns from a knee injury that sidelined him for the remainder of the season starting in early September. Combine that with their QB situation, and that's a team that is going to lean heavily on the run just like they did last season when they were 8th in the league in rushing attempts, 10th in rushing yards, 8th in rushing TDs, 9th in rushing attempts on 1st down, . NO: Similar situation as ATL, but for different reasons. Derek Carr is in the second to last year of his deal and the QBs behind him are Spencer Rattler, Jake Haener, and Ben DiNucci. However, they also have Alvin Kamara. One thing that we know about Kellen Moore from his stints as an OC is that he likes to lean heavily on a versatile RB1 while bringing in an arguably equally versatile RB2 to keep their foot on opposing defenses. When Moore had Zeke in Dallas, Zeke was 4th in the league in touches during those four years but Pollard still averaged 10 touches and nearly 60yds a game. Look for the Saints to shore up their RB room in the draft with Kendre Miller, CEH, Jordan Mims, and Xazavian Valladay all competing for touches behind Kamara. TB: Bucky Irving exploded onto the scene last season, but we can't forget more than capable (now-)RB2 Rachaad White. White is on the last year of his rookie deal, but Irving is under contract until 2028. Last season, the Bucs were 10th in rushing attempts, 4th in rushing yards, 3rd in YPC, 7th in carries of 20+, 8th in carries of 40+, and 7th in first down rushing attempts and that helped Baker Mayfield be one of the most efficient passers in the league with a 71.4% completion percentage (good enough for 2nd in the league).
