God fuging damnit

No.  We have 1 pick in the top 100.  

Pickett is the definition of a desperate team doing desperate things.   If you watched him for the last 5 freaking years in college.  Nothing says he is worth a top 10 pick gamble.  Every QB in the last draft that went in the first round was a better prospect. 

[Jackie Lee]

This smells of Rhule wanting the guy he tried to recruit 5 years ago. They have the whole flaking on their commitment thing in common

[Jon Snow]

It doesn't matter, the Panthers will be selecting another qb in 2023 anyway.

Are you waiting for this upcoming disaster to make sense?

I got some bad news, bubba.

Yep. All first round QBs last year are better than any of these prospects. How many of those turned out to be worth the pick?

Rhule, mcadoo, and the rest of that staff need a QB to save their jobs. Only Fitts can save the org from these bad choices and I’m not sure he has the power.

And then we trade away our 25 year old 1st round qb bust (Pickett, not Darnold although basically the same age and bust factor) for like a 3rd or something. Sounds like the Panthers way

Scariest part is I expect Matt Rhule to trade up with his good friends the NY Jets in order to get Pickett.

I'm cool with taking a shot on him ideally trading down a bit but at least we'd have an exciting young QB prospect who can actually potentially develop here for the first time since Cam. Yes like others I don't trust this staff to do it but at least it's not another trash retread QB option like Teddy/Sam.

It Matt Rhule drafts Kenny Pickett at #6 overall, I’m done with this franchise until he’s gone.

I dunno about exciting and young, not a good season til his 5th year. Only a year younger than Darnold. Now Willis yes, exciting and young that was mentored by Cam

Can you imagine anyone thinking that Pickett was a better prospect than Fields or Zach Wilson? Apparently we had little to no interest in either of those players pre draft……….and now we’re interested in a dude who has to wear a glove to grip a professional size ball. He should do GREAT in bad weather. Not a turnover risk at ALL.m

He cannot freaking throw a pro ball. It’s embarrassing. You can tell on SCREEN passes he can’t throw it. It’s like a high schooler. He double grips it to get a feel for the ball when he’s stepping INTO his throw. Not when he’s taking his drop as just a part of a pattern. When he’s actually getting ready to THROW the ball he’s trying to grip it. You CANNOT draft him in the first round.
