Here's a news flash for everyone trying to crown Bill Polian... he was low key a terrible drafter.

And somehow everyone is whiffing on this on the Howell evaluation.

Swap the QBs in that game and Pitt wins by 3 TDs.

Caleb Love is the last big question. If he comes back this will have some serious 2017 vibes. We'll definitely miss Manek but our depth should be leaps and bounds better next year. I think Puff Johnson is ready to step into that role.

Ideally we trade down. I fully expect it.

Kenny had the best college stats this year of the bunch. I wouldn't read anything more into it than that.

Pickett won't be able to throw outside the numbers in the NFL unless a receiver is wide open. Defenses are going to FEAST on that.

Pickett runs out of college eligibility prior to last season normally. He would've been a late round pick or UDFA. He's a beneficiary of an extra year due to COVID. How good are Corral and Howell with five years of college experience? Gotta see Pickett for what he is - a guy playing in college who was as old as most second year NFL QBs.

Go watch Howell and Corral.

Darnold is a panicker. When things don't go perfectly to plan he panics. He sticks with his first read until he comes open or something makes him panic. His good plays come when his first read is open or immediate pressure forces him to go to his hot read or check down. Those are the only two scenarios where he succeeds.

I'm not convinced the folks who race about Pickett's ability to read the field have watched him play outside of YouTube highlights.

Trask was a better college QB he was just physically limited. Pickett's arm isn't any better. He's a better athlete but it doesn't really show up on game day. He's a prototype 2nd rounder. Darnold played behind a good OL at USC where he was also plagued by turnover issues. Darnold just isn't a QB. He's a talented thrower of the football but he's not a QB.

I'm not certain he SHOULD go in the 1st but I'll be shocked if he doesn't. Pickett shouldn't. He's a more athletic Kyle Trask.

There's no way Willis doesn't go in the 1st. I think someone falls in love and he goes too 10.

I strongly disagree. I'd take Willis, Howell, and Corral for sure over him. Those are the only three I'd take in the 1st. Pickett would be my #5 behind Ridder and he'd be #6 if it wasn't for Strong's injury concerns. There's just nothing there to get excited about IMO.

I can't believe people are falling for this. Granted a fifth year when he has a significant age and experience advantage he finally put up good stats. Before he put up JAG stats. When you actually watched him play, he still looked like a JAG. The arm is average. The athleticism measurables don't show up. Here's nothing to get excited about. He's a more mobile Mac Jones physically but Mac Jones is the smarter QB.

Yeah, we know. Here's some news for Robby. Anyone who watched the Panthers play last year doesn't want Robby at WR.

Kenny Pickett and a UNC OL with our 1st two picks? Holy poo. What a disaster.

Robby sure does have some strong opinions for a guy who played so damn awful last year.

It's just that our two best QBs had that type of personality. At the end of the day, as long as the team believes their QB gives them a chance they're gonna show up for him.

We don't necessarily need a rah rah type QB, but we could definitely use one that is NFL caliber.

Hurney is gone yet somehow we've upped the Hurney-ism of our cap management.

Just an FYI, but you're replying to a spam bot.

Jimmy G getting us to a wildcard spot with Rhule and company...

Yeah, we went to the SB with a low level FA at QB too. So have other teams. Doesn't mean it's a great path to take.
