I'm done pretending. That kid is a dud and IDGAF about feelings at this point.

Big picrure is whatever really. It's all about getting a house cleaning now. Picket looks capable of doing that for us.

I don't know he is gonna be a dud but his ceiling seems so obviously lower than is necessary to be taking in the top 15

At this point, if he’s the pick, then i’ll be excited to see his development and hope for the best. I’m not gonna go around knocking this possibility. 

I remember a couple years ago there were rumors of us being interested in Justin Herbert and so many in here were trashing him and the possibility of us taking him. 

 

We all wish we had him right about now lol.

If Teddy wasn't the answer I really don't see how Pickett is besides being recruited by Rhule at Temple. They basically have the same ceiling, with Teddy actually showing he can reach that ceiling in the NFL. Pickett could max out at like a Will Grier level in my opinion. At the best If you took Burrow and Grier and met in the middle which is basically a good backup

Yeah, I am not seeing Joe Burrow intangibles. Which, to be clear, I was completely not impressed by Burrow. So maybe my skepticism is good news.

And Burrow got it done in 2 seasons with better yards per attempt. Pickett had 4 starting years and was pretty good in his 5th senior year after finding out he was gonna go in the 5th round if he declared for last years draft. I don't really understand why people make the Burrow comparison

She is on this board saying willis.  She was saying Jones this time last year so I wouldnt take too much stock in her "sources"

Is Willis who she wants us to pick or who she thinks we will pick? (as of right now, still a long way to go)

It’s fluid, it could change at any moment. I’m just saying she said on Twitter, her sources are saying we like Pickett, same thing Albright is hearing.

      Thielen was a "dawg" like Dan Morgan likes to say. And they replaced him with puppies.  The analytics are probably saying this is more targets for younger receivers they are hoping to develop, specifically the first round pick from 2025. The eye test is going to show a very inexperienced group of WRs that are going to have some serious growing pains, for a 3rd year QB who has not yet proven to be the guy going forward.  It's crazy how in the literal first game of his NFL career, Cam Newton showed everyone he was a star QB and there was never any doubt about that. It almost didn't even matter who was around him, although he definitely had a serious lack of talent at WR for most of his career. Bryce is going into his third season and there is still a ton of doubt, and who is around him is seen as crucial for him to have success. I don't like it.

      Everyone says AT was old and slow but the one thing he could do consistently was get separation. That takes skill and it's been a huge issue in our WR for years. And while Moore may be a great locker room guy and our WR coach may be a 12 year vet, he's not playing in the game. Vets like AT do what they do because they can see things others don't and exploit it. The DB interview I mentioned before was with Stephon Gilmore after his DPOY season. He was pulling the younger DBs aside showing them things you wouldn't even think you'd be able to tell from the way the receiver was standing.  Seeing what a DB or LB is biting on in game that can give you that half step advantage is huge and we don't have that experience in our WR group right now and I think it could end up hurting us. None of our receivers have lined up against NFL corners successfully on a regular basis. Having someone that can walk over and give you a tip to get a half yard separation can be a difference maker.

      We only fielded about 4 NFL calibre players on that unit last year.
