Any opinions on Kenny Pickett? He’s really turned it on this year. Four year starter.

Ive watched like one half of a game from him (Clemson), what does he do well in your opinion?  For the little I watched it appears pitt has a senior team and play hard as hell.  However nothing really jumped off the page in regards to him.  Again that was like 2nd half of a blowout so I fully admit that.

I watched his early game against Tennessee. I know Tenn isn’t anything special, but he was manipulating the defense, going through his reads, avoiding pressure and making clutch throws. It seemed like whenever they needed a first down he made it happen. The commentators were talking about his he went to Manning’s QB school in the offseason and sort of bonded with him.

Thanks I see that Kiper has him as the #1 qb prospect now and Mcshay has him the 4rth best behind willis, corral and ridder.

I haven’t seen him at all, just seen more of him draft wise recently. Seems to be having a great year. I won’t see him until bowl season

I think I like Pickett as the best of the bunch. Obviously, lower ceiling than most of the prospects but a lot higher floor. 

Corral.....I just can't get into him. 

Ridder I kind of like. Not 1st round like but I wouldn't be upset if we got him in the 2nd or 3rd(yes, I know those are phantom picks for us).

I also like Pickett, he plays with an attitude and an edge, big, can make off balance throws.

It's definitely not as bad as 2013. I think the QB depth is not so bad in the class. You just don't have 1-2 obvious top 5 picks like you usually do.

I dont think we can pick a QB this next year.. Our target should be to acquire an additional 1st rounder in 2023 to give us ammo to move up if needed.

The 2022 draft should focus on o'line help and 2023 draft capital.

Another year of Darnold???

Well I think he will be on the team regardless as we took his 5th year option. We NEED to bring in competition though. 

I just dont think we can run a rookie out there without fixing the oline first.

I don't know what it is, but Strong just speaks to me.  That kid's got it.

Even with the positive spin it doesnt give you the warm and fuzzies
