I'd definitely have mixed feelings about a pick like this.

 

On one hand it would be awesome to get a stud QB prospect like Pickett.  He's really played lights out this season.

On the other hand whoever we have at QB will be behind that Frankenstein's monster of an OL we've built.  So that would likely guarantee continued floundering at the QB position as he runs for his life on at least 1/2 of the plays.

 

Maybe you take the QB, sit him for the year and draft up a top LT the following season.  That would be smart but it sucks to wait another whole year.   And I don't have much confidence that the Panthers organization / Rhule has the patience to make the smart, long-term decision over the stupid quick fix.  

You have to start swinging at QBs. Sign Armstead, draft a QB, draft an OT with your next pick.

I dont know much about Pickett yet.  I know on a lot of his tape hes making accurate throws with touch when needed in tight windows.  It's not like a lot of college tape where there is no one within 10 yards of the receiver on every highlight.   If they draft qb they are going to have to go after oline hard in free agency though.

If we plan to build the line and draft O-line in the first round this year and wait for a QB next year, that means another losing season with Rhule next year. You don't find franchise QBs outside the top 10 very often. We would have to suck the following year with Rhule to be able to draft a top 10 QB. The huddle would explode with another losing season with Rhule as HC.

Pitt only won because they got lucky as hell with the coin flip and the monsoon. Pitt didn’t win because of Kenneth. 

Ok. You still haven't explained how he is overrated or sucks. What do you have to back up your take other than you don't like his name and his team beat UNC?

At least it’s a plan.

    • Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4
    • Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.    
    • Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
