How are we feeling about Sam Howell at 18?

Seems like the right pick to me.

Seems like a Mitch Clone. I’d rather Ridder over Howell if Pickett and Corral are gone.

It’s hard to care about the off-season at the moment with what happened today.

Though I doubt Dennis Allen (or any coach) can draft as bad as Payton in the 1st.

Im assuming Pickett and Corral will be gone at this point.

I like Howell over Ridder but what do I know. Ridder sounds like a bad referee or a fat cop.

Depends. Are we blowing it up or riding with the D + Winston?

If the latter, get an OT to replace Armstead and shed that glass door.

I think you double up. Grab whatever QB falls at 18 and if it doesn’t work out try again in 2-3 years with a top 5 pick

Not like they were drafting in the top half in most of them

No love for Malik Willis? I'm on the fence about him as well. I see another Tyrelle Pryor or RG3 type of guy. If we go QB, you go after Pickett or Corral, they're the only two worth drafting in three first this year.

Yep. Hard to think about draft strategy without knowing the coaching staff

Both of these are nothing but future clipboard holders in the NFL.

Willis has the same question marks as Josh Allen when Allen came of Wyoming. Big time physical gifts coming out of a small school yet serious question marks surrounding his accuracy due to his below 60% completion percentage.

Pickett or Corral


Pickett is your "new age prototype QB" while Corral has more take off & run in his game. Corral is going to have to learn how to protect himself better on designed runs & scrambles or he won't last very long in the NFL.

No one in this QB class is a legit day one starter yet organizations will force some of these guys to start day one & will ruin several of them because of that.

I can tell you have seen ridder play a lot . If you watch him for more than a few games you will not want him taken in the 1st or 2 nd

While you're not wrong...that's part of the offense and was absolutely necessary when we lost our three best receivers and starting RB to keep drives alive.

He did a much better job of avoiding contact the last few games of the season.

Corral definitely needs what the Giants did for Eli. If the Saints were to get him(I know I'm biased but it would he has a high ceiling IMO), the Saints need to bring in an older, veteran QB for a season or two and get him to help groom Corral. I was really hoping to see what Payton could do with him but....welp.

Howells numbers got progressively worse every year. That’s a red flag

Not to defend him but his teams also got worse over each year as well. I've seen him play several times and the tools are there. He would have really thrived at a better "football school".
