Just did a mini deep dive on Pickett.  Very burrow esque type last season.  Although he isnt very mobile, has small hands and tends to fumble.  Also wears two gloves.   Probably should pass on that alone.  

Problem is that for whatever issues you find, you have to count on Matt Rhule recognizing them too.

Interesting blurb outlining some positives:

 

Here is what McShay wrote, in part:

“His arm strength and pocket mobility are average areas in his game, but his toughness in the pocket, fast eyes on progressions and awareness in holding the safety stand out. His decision-making is improving after back-to-back seasons with 13-to-9 TD-INT ratios. And Pickett flashes some second-reaction ability, too, scrambling when he needs to create.”

Wrote Kiper (a day before the North Carolina game): “He is accurate to all three levels of the field, has shown patience in taking the checkdown throws when necessary and has good zip on his throws.”

The top five quarterbacks on both analysts’ lists are the same: Pickett, followed by Liberty’s Malik Willis, Ole Miss’ Matt Corral, Cincinnati’s Desmond Ridder and North Carolina’s Sam Howell. Boston College’s Phil Jurkovec, a Pine-Richland graduate, is ranked sixth by Kiper, seventh by McShay.

With big games remaining all across the country and serious evaluations upcoming as early as January, many opinions will change before the end of the season. The draft is scheduled for April 28.

Not a Pickett fan. 

You don't need to be Vick but you need some mobility in the modern day NFL.   He doesn't have enough IMO.   Are you need insane pocket movement/awareness.   And Brady developed that over decades by first being in a great situation and not needing it.

I think pickett has at least that and someone compared his arm to Mac Jones.  Not sure what to make of the kid as a whole I know I would just prefer to get a lineman in the top 10

Those are traits that are really important at the NFL level.

For what it's worth, the characteristics that the analysts describe are very well suited to a West Coast offense at the pro level.

(assuming we'll still be running a West Coast type offense next season)

I agree.  The average arm and small hands concern me but again I dont want him in the top 10.  this is a good line class and we absolutely must capitalize on that

I'd much rather we fix the line before going with a rookie quarterback, especially in a week draft class.

But if Rhule believes he's coaching for his job, it won't surprise me at all for him to think getting a new quarterback cures all ills.

I thought the same at first. He is actually a lot quicker and more elusive than I originally thought. He works the pocket and isn’t afraid to run with it every now and then. He isn’t going to run the QB option, but has a little if that Rodgers escapability in my opinion…

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
