I don’t watch any college football to be in the know how. Nor am I suggesting that we draft a QB in this draft, but I see these two names thrown around as the top two QBs of this draft. Gun to head, which one you choosing if you had to choose one?
The only reason I’m asking this is I’m wondering if a new GM is going to want to draft his own QB and will use one of our top picks for one.
Yeah, no thanks, one ghost fumble from Fromm yesterday was enough for me…
I wouldn't take either of them in the top 10 or even top 20. I would prefer a veteran stopgap QB or let DJ play out the final year of his contract.
Too many holes to fill? The QB spot is a gaping crater.
I do find this concerning as well. Gloves help but in snowing/rainy conditions they don’t. Certainly not interested with one of our top 2 picks. Rebuild the lines!
Yup. If we're going to criticize Bryce Young, a far superior QB prospect in 2023 for lack of size, Corral is in the same boat, and plays far more recklessly than Bryce Young
Malik Willis might be the answer but you still need a veteran stopgap for 2022 if you draft him because he's a project
That's with a college ball, though. He's got to silence that concern at the combine with an NFL ball.
Corral is listed at college as 6’ or 6-1 and 205. Coming from college,that means he is smaller than that. Not touching either of these guys
Fix the OL and see if Jones can play behind it. If he can you move forward with him. If he can’t you replace him but have an OL foundation set
That's with a college ball, though. He's got to silence that concern at the combine with an NFL ball.
There are no Herbert or Allen-level QB prospects in this draft in terms of physical tools with the possible exception of Willis, and he needs a year on the bench before you play him
makes plays and if you watch some of his play this year, he does all the right things.
I disagree that he is not going to be a good NFL QB. Every year the pundits claim great QB class, poor QB class. They are always wrong
I think this kid is going to be a winner from what i saw of his play this year. I think he is an upgrade to DJ.
But we aren't a QB away. We have a new rebuild process and shedding of again wasted Salaries on JAGS like Logan Ryand paying too much for guys like Bradberry and Williams
Start with the OL and Edge and build from there. talk to me in 2+ years
Need a pass rusher, a linebacker, Tight End, a wide out and a real back-up quarterback who can push Jones or whoever
Pickett will be in my top 15 candidates if this hand size concern (and glove) can be fully vetted. He really has a nice blend of pocket and off-platform throwing ability with an underrated arm. He really looks the part in the pocket.
we are going to be worse next year than this year. the only risk is DJ recovers and leads us to 6 wins, which is what we were on track for before he got hurt. then we'll be screwed. we need to ride fromm/lewerke.
If you told me prior to this year that you even had a draftable Pickett I would have laughed at you. For FOUR YEARS he performed comparably to how Daniel Jones did at Duke. He has one great year and suddenly he is a Top 10 pick? I am concerned that the QB we saw this year was not the light suddenly turning on, but a QB who was so vastly more experienced than his competition being able to use that to his advantage. That advantage will cease when he enters the NFL.
Personally I think the QB with the most upside and potential to reach that upside is Desmond Ridder, but as Alabama tape showed he needs to redshirt this year wherever he goes.
This, the giants should spent this season building the offensive line and pass rush. Then target a QB in 2023. Unfortunately we both know that they will take Pickett out of need.
If he were 5 inches taller and 30 pounds heavier, he would be going at the top of the draft.
He says corral has a real live arm and is so so on pickett
He was throwing to Olave the other day
If he were 5 inches taller and 30 pounds heavier, he would be going at the top of the draft.
And if my aunt had balls…
Brees and Wilson knew their size limitations and adjusted accordingly. Corral plays like he thinks he is Josh Allen.
If he were 5 inches taller and 30 pounds heavier, he would be going at the top of the draft.
Corral played in a very QB friendly scheme (Lebby), which primarily revolves around passes at, or near, the line of scrimmage. Too small, too slow for his size, lacks bigtime arm strength, and sucked against Bama until they were down 35-0.
I predict Corral will be the QB that goes from 1st round hype to a big drop. He's not a 1st round talent.
yea I'm not sure I see it yet with him, either. But a lot can change in a year.
It's pretty good, but not plus. He's not a big guy and is a true frosh. So it could improve.

I'm watching Bryce Young right now - he doesn't throw the ball as well as Pickett and he damn sure doesn't throw it like Corral.

It's gonna have to get a lot better. People knock Corral for his frame, but Young is even smaller. And again, two different levels of thrower.

Agreed.
Young's most impressive features to me are his demeanor and how he stands tall in the pocket. Pretty good spine to hang in there.
I'm glad you're not our GM, you have no clue about talent. Young will most likely be the 1st pick in the draft. He's playing without his two 1st round WRs against the best defense in the country. Go watch Corral against Bama, tell me how great he is. Young is 10X the QB prospect Corral is.

Corral was a 4-star recruit who was going to USC. I'm not sure what you are watching, but Corral could run this O'Brien offense just as well as effectively - IMV.

Corral had 57 tds his whole career, Young has 46 this year! Young was a 5 star recruit. You already making excuses for Corral?

No excuses. Alabama just has a material difference in talent versus Ole Miss. So, I'm quite comfortable saying Corral would be very productive with more talent.
No, it's the truth.
Do you think Young has 46 TDs with Ole Miss?

It's a completely different offense. Ole Miss this year was OCed by Lebby, from the Art Briles/Baylor (think RG3) offensive tree. It's a gimmicky offense that needs very few reads, most throws are predetermined before the snap. There's very few, to no, progressions.
Bama offense is much tougher to run because it actually requires progressions and is more pro-style.
I have nothing against Corral...he's just not a top 10 pick in terms of talent nor NFL preparedness. If he falls to the 2nd round, or if the Giants trade into the 20s, he's possibly worth the gamble. He's not better than the best OLine and DLine in this draft class. He's probably better than DJ...but he's still a big reach in the top 10.

Why not? How do you know what he does there? Or should we say the same about Daniel Jones at Duke? Jones' stats are pretty similar to Corral's btw. And Corral beat what two ranked teams in his career? And one was INdiana?
