LaCanfora asks evaluators about Pickett...

Yep. Watch the screen routes they called. He would literally stare down the back, pat the ball to steady himself, then shove it toward the back like he’s playing a backyard pickup game. Y’all think he’s gonna be able to misdirect all pro linebackers when it takes him an extra 1-1.5 seconds to get a throw off? No way. He’s going to be a turnover machine and the playbook is gonna be crazy limited. 
 

You know who his comp is? Jake Frohm. This would be like us drafting Jake Frohm in the top 10. 

Another comment here the Senior Bowl is very scripted to showcase the players.  Always has been.  If Kenny Pickett does not go through the entire, I mean entire combine activities that would another huge flag for me.  I can see him skipping out.  

The combine isn’t a huge deal overall but it does show competitive nature.  None of the top players should be worried about what the combine brings to light.

I can’t see us taking Pickett if short arms at OT scare us off small hands at QB should do the same.

with that as our starting line with Efflein at center or a guard position.

If we do draft him then I'd hope we'd do our damnedest to get somebody in FA so we don't have to seeing him on our line. Ugh, I shudder at the thought of it.

Top talent evaluators of teams needing a QB: "Hey y'all, think we can get that dumbass to actually draft Kenny Pickett #6 overall?"

This is Matt Rhules drinking club reading every huddle meltdown.

This team lives or dies in their decision to keep Rhule. Nothing they do matters if he is coach because the outcome is going to be the same. I'd like the team to go OL, but I don't trust Rhule to make good choices or run the team wisely. It doesn't matter who position coaches or coordinators are because this is Rhule's team. They're going to roll with Pickett or something dumb like a CB or if they pick an OT, he'll be the next Greg Little. Why? Because this is Rhule's team and he doesn't know what the fug he's doing.

I'd rather pick another backup long snapper than Kenny Pickett.

That's barely an exaggeration.

Agree, but Jake Frohm played better comp in college and was more accomplished.  LOL

I said he was Blaine Gabbert but I probably shouldn’t disrespect Blaine that way

Gabbert is actually a really good comp. Wide open offense. “Prototype pocket passer” coming out with a ton of questions about if he had peaked. Good but not great athletically. Did he make good decisions or did the offense make good decisions for him? Same thing here.

Not to mention he sat out a huge bowl game opportunity. I mean if he goes out there and shreds Michigan State then I would have had a lot more respect for him. Maybe still not top 10 respect. But if he goes 30/45, 300+ and 2-3 TDs on MSU then Im at least not laughing at a team taking him top 10. 
 

Everyone comparing him to Burrow needs to remember that JB went for 450 yards and 3 TDs and put up 46 on Bama. He didn’t opt out of any games….

You pick him you will be looking for his replacement his whole career..

If Rhule gets the sack there is a good chance the new guy will want his guy especially if we’re picking in the top 10 again.

Here’s the thing…if Pickett really does have record small hands. Wouldn’t that be the anti-analytics QB?

We gave up our top 100 picks for Darnold and paid him 18m. It’s safe to say we are currently using anti-analytics.

Saying he’s the best of this class isn’t saying much. There isn’t one qb this year who anyone can flat out say he’s going to succeed. We would be better off getting a FA and fortifying our line. Then hope we suck bad enough to pick top 3 next year.

We would be but not Rhule.
