Albright: Panthers circling on Pickett

Recommended Posts

Signs are pointing to Pickett.  Temple and/or Baylor connection?  Check.  Poor measurables that will be ignored by the same staff that hates short arms?  Check.  One year wonder?  Check.  Plus, the Pitt/Tepper connection to add on top of everything, not to mention all the rumors about our interest in the guy. 
 

Where there’s smoke there’s fire, and unfortunately it smells like a burning pickett fence.  If he’s the pick all we can do is support the guy but damn, it’d be pretty demoralizing.  OL or bust

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

Basically the one year turnaround thing. Burrow wasn't poo until he had that.

Someone in New York is trying to drum up interest so they can flip five or we’re  drumming up interest so someone starts falling in love with him to trade with us.

If we stay at 6 I don’t see how we take a quarterback, especially if it’s BPA, which it should be given the state of our team. Pickett is the best QB in this draft but he’s probably the 25th best prospect.

Ehhh, I just think Rhule is incredibly bad at keeping secrets. When this comes from multiple angles (Myself, Albright, Florio) it becomes kind of hard to ignore. Smokescreens usually fall under less reputable people (referring to Flores and Albright, not me). There is also a history of it being obvious when they are going to take someone, Derrick Brown being the obvious. 

I do not we would trade down and take Pickett, they would just take him at 6.

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. 

I have never said we are taking Willis. Willis is who I would like them to take. He is my QB1.

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"

Last year was especially weird since a lot of draft gurus were stating how much we coveted Jaycee Horn.

Verge was completely off.

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. 

True, but I honestly trusted Hurney at scouting compared to this front office.

Other than Will Grier he wasn't bad at finding quarterbacks.

@Verge who's taking Howell? I know the Steelers have been all over him, anyone else? 

I just need to start mentally preparing myself for the transition.

Gosh I have heard such varied things on Howell. I have heard 3rd round and I have heard middle of the 1st. I think your Steelers connection is correct. I think Howell will ultimately go in round 1, maybe much higher than where he is being mocked now.

Ehhh I did think we liked Mac Jones but idk about "completely off". This was my final say on the board and on twitter. Last time I will post this, promise lol.

    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
    • Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
