Pickett is such a disgustingly fitting Rhule pick.  What disturbs me most isn't actually that we might take Pickett it's the obvious reason why - the fuging college connection.

Yup, they both bailed on Temple after committing. Looking forward to the leadership qualities in these two guys next year

I watched another of Pickett's games, and he made more throws in tight windows and on the run. A lot better than what I was seeing. However, he had a team around him. His offensive line was great, receivers did well, and the scheme worked.

I guess I'm trying to stay positive. He has some interesting traits.

I mean I’m sure he’s better Darnold but

How dafuq does this check the box?

8 1/4 inches
 
Pickett's hands are smaller than most QBs. Last spring, scouts measured them at 8 1/4 inches, putting him in the 0th percentile among NFL quarterbacks. 
If they actually take this hack at 6 I will be completely dumbfounded.  All hope will be removed for me

Picketts line was good, and he had one very, very good receiver... But he looks very good moving around and has imo an underrated arm on this board.

I don't hate him in the least.

My issue is that I do not trust Rhule to properly evaluate him because of the college connection...

He’s not a first rd qb, I’m sorry

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
