Kenny Pickett > Malik Willis (at least for us)

When I watch Pickett he reminds me of a more mobile Matt Ryan, and I wouldn't be apposed to drafting a guy like that

He reminds me exactly of Teddy except he can run really well.

Another bad take

Better arm than Teddy 

[pantherj]

Teddy was pick 32 in the first round. That makes me think Picket, with his superior scrambling, should also be a first round pick.

Teddy used to be really mobile before his knee injury and Pickett has a slightly better arm, but they are really similar.

Who does Pickett remind you of?

You want Pickett to take the top off the defense, and if he were good at that you'd see him go number one overall. He's is not good at that. He is Teddy 2.0 but with much better scrambling and throwing on the run imo. Teddy and Pickett will both move the ball down the field with their good medium and short passes. The thing is Teddy is now a backup. You have to do more.

Personal opinion but I think scouts think they can make Pickett into a mobile Matt Ryan.

Like I said, he goes through his progressions well. If a team can focus on getting him to read defenses correctly then you’ve checked a box. Additionally, if the accuracy from last year is what we can expect from Pickett in the future then you have a 68% completion percentage on your hand which is elite.

Bridgewater could be a good comparison but the thing that could make him a mobile Matt Ryan is that Pickett has much better velocity than Bridgewater and the touch he puts on passes is pretty damn good.

I think worst case scenario is Andy Dalton, the most likely scenario is probably Teddy Bridgewater (with more ball velocity) or Chad Pennington (a mobile version), and the best case scenario is a mobile Matt Ryan (if everything work out).

In order for Pickett to be a franchise QB he’ll need to read the defenses correctly, not just go through his progressions (I’m not worried about this), have elite accuracy to make up for his arm strength (I’m worried about this), and stop turning the ball over so much (I’m worried about this).

Yeah some guys are disagreeing, but it looks very clear to me. Yeah Teddy was lucky to even come back.

Best starter comp for Kenny Pickett? Daniel Jones.

Carr

Lesser version of Ryan

More aggressive cousins

Teddy has a weird way of throwing which makes his passes a little slower and in that sense they look different, but their game looks the same to me.

No argument there, his deep ball is not great.

I haven't seen that problem while watching him. I've seen him hit his targets in the numbers while in stride over and over again at around 50 yds. He did it at his workout the other weekend and in his games repeatedly. He's the most accurate deep passer that I've watched in this draft.

Don’t think that’s it, Daniel Jones has a cannon and his accuracy is also poo.

He nearly hit a cameraman when he went deep against Tenn. When he misses deep it often will sail way too far.
