Albright: Panthers circling on Pickett

[Pazhoosier89]

This has smokescreen written all over it. Probably trying to get a team to trade up so a tackle will be there.

[Jay Roosevelt]

lol @ so many people trying to convince themselves this is all a smokescreen. Pickett will be our pick, like it or not. 

Say hello to your new Panthers QB:

There is a certain team in western PA that needs a QB and I have a feeling that Washington drafts a qb they might want (Willis or Pickett) so they might be prime candidate to trade up.

Funny we heard the exact same things about Mac Jones last year and we passed on him

Mac Jones would have been a bust (or never even played) in the dumpster fire that is Carolina.

This is verge on twitter. 

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"

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

Rhule is dong this to buy him a fourth year.  'Mr. Tepper, you wanted us to get a young QB, but it's impossible to win with a rookie QB.  I'll need another year to develop him'.

Is this like when the 49ers were trading up for Mac Jones?

[DeSim]

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.

Rhule has final say on roster decisions.

Rhule-Pickett connection already established from Temple days.

Carolina was rumored to be very high on Pickett at Senior Bowl.

Seems like a no-brainer at this point.

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

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.
