If so then please let it be in the teens or 20s with us picking up some day 2 draft capital. Pickett at 6 would be a mistake.

I agree on the spot but no way Pickett or Willis last to the 20’s if you have a 1st round grade on a QB teams will trade up for them especially with the top 2 this year

Probably true, and I'd let the other teams make that mistake then. Reaching for Pickett just isn't a good idea for this team. We could get a similar caliber QB in the mid/late 1st round next season easily. Either nab the BPA (likely a LT) at 6 or trade down and get back some of that day 2 capital we've thrown away recently. But yeah there's a good chance we do take Pickett at 6. I'd be excited and hopeful about having him but would not be happy about the value there ultimately.

 

Edit: then again I will also point out that I absolutely HATED the idea of considering Justin Herbert a few years ago and thought he was only worth a late 1st rounder at most. Obviously we know how that has turned out, so my opinion doesn't mean all that much...

Don't think you can get Pickett or Willis in the teens and definitely not in the 20's. 

 

All the teams from 6 to 10 need a qb. Then a few in the low teens. If Pickett is first off the board he's going between 5-9. Willis not far behind him.

I couldn't see either of them making it past the Steelers.

Nobody knows what these guys will turn out to be.....a Ryan Leaf or a Tom Brady. Just a roll of the dice.

I don't mind taking one. Just trade down and get a haul before you do so.

You can't take one of these guys at #6, that's crazy.

Their gonna have to take one of them at 6, furthest they could probably drop back is 8th and that's likely a jump up for a QB. So yea it's gonna happen and it's gonna happen at 6. Only way it doesn't happen is if one of the top 2 ot fall to them.

      Ehlers needs to sit. Definitely can't lose him to a meaningless game.

      Bet didn't hit because the referee missed 3 clear corner kicks. I had a 5k parlay that would have been alive tomorrow if he didn't miss those calls as well. Super annoying

      I don't think it's at all a given that we have players who are good at driving the basket. I guess that depends on your definition. Bridges is 43rd in attempts in the paint Miller is 64th and LaMelo is 66th. We all love to see the lob threat but it's largely miniscule at this point in time. There's gotta be a solution here if LaMelo is to be the centerpiece because this is simply not sustainable if we want to continue to ascend. If he can't drive to the basket then that means we need to add another player to the core who consistently can. That would require moving someone like Miles Bridges. And that's certainly not going to be popular with LaMelo but something has to give here for what we are investing and we need to maximize guys like Miller and Knueppel on rookie deals while we still can. The three chucking is fine when it's working where the issue comes into play is there are no adjustments when it isn't and we just go into a shell and begin to look like the Hornets of yesteryear. That's why the offensive evolution of all involved is critical to us taking the next step. Getting to the play in is nice but we should have our sights set much higher. Right now though they need to take care of business against the Heat. All I ask is that they at least beat those fools. I cannot stand the Heat.
