    Corral looks good too but another small QB

    I’d prefer them to be 6’3 and up. Not a deal breaker if they have other elite traits. But it’s just fact that smaller QBs don’t tend to be super effective or win championships.
    There are some exceptions, but they have other elite traits

    This draft has a bunch of QB right at 6 ft.

    Corral there’s no consensus, 6 ft even to 6’2.
    6’2 with his arm talent and movement skills would be solid

    Yeah, so is Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Mahomes and most other top QBs outside of Brees.
    6’2 is about the minimum

    Watson, Murray, Rodgers...

    I'm not disagreeing, I just think 1"+/- is stupid, I feel the same about NBA measurements.

    Watson and Rodgers are 6’2

    Murray is short and hasn’t done much.

    The only QBs to really be successful at 6 ft or under is Brees, Wilson and Tarkenton.

    I get what you’re saying, but bottom line is height is a factor in being a successful QB for 90-95% of players

    Carson Strong QB Nevada

    You should check him out. Big guy with a strong arm and decent mobility for a big guy. Takes care of the ball, only threw 7 ints last year and I saw two of them bounce off receivers hands.

    This is a basketball forum. We need their wingspan measurements.

    I'd hold out another year for DJ Uiagalelei with CJ Stroud as a 2nd option in the 2023 draft. I'd steer clear of the 2022 prospects.

    Yeah, I’m not totally against short QBs. But they have to be elite in certain categories.

    Brees is among the fastest processors and most accurate ever.
    Wilson is deadly accurate and elite feet.
    Same with Tarkenton.

    Rattler and Howell are mobile to an extent but not fast by any means. Mahomes/Mayfield type movement ability. Arm is a plus for both of them. Rattler is really slight build, Howell is thick.
    Really looking at Corral, he looks bigger than the other two. His movement skills is probably better than Rattler and Howell.
    Arm is a plus, similar to the others.

    Carson Strong seems to be generating a lot of buzz.

    What are y'all thoughts on Emory Jones out of Florida, 6'2 212lbs.??

    Personally, nobody is showing to be deserving of the #1 pick thus far, not Willis, Rattler nor Howell. I think Jones can be picked up in round 2; he has a strong arm, he's mobile and accurate with his deep ball.

    Would rather Corral personally, but Jones looks solid

    .
    I like Corral too but not at #1, #2 or #3, which is where I think the Texans will be. I think picking anyone of these QBs prior to #10 is a reach

    Jones can probably be had late rnd 1 or early rnd 2

    I’m thinking same thing honestly. I do hope one of them shows up.
    I hope Shough shows up, to me he has the best physical profile. Doesn’t mean much unless he can play
