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.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      By strato · Posted

      since I agree with him I will jump in and say we don’t use the TE enough to value one as a 1st. One of these threads just today people are posting pointing out that Bryce can’t see the middle of the field which is where a lot of TE eat. He likes to throw picks there too, I wonder why (can’t see). It just doesn’t help us that much.  And personally, just my opinion, Bryce has had enough top level investment dedicated to the pass game. Get a speedy WR later? I am fine with it and think that is all we really need anyway. Another 1st round pick? Hell no if I get to say. Which I don’t but no one else does either    As far as a TE, a pass catching RB would be of more use than a TE I think. We visited with one I think maybe Sr Bowl, that was a WR in school u til just this year when they switched him to RB full time. A guy like that could be put to a lot of use on these little 5 yard passes Bryce is so fond of throwing,  It is just past time to put some real talent into the defense for once and I want our top picks to focus there, personally. I would say unless we have a situation like last year where the difference in pure value is stark, I am pissed if we pass on a quality defensive player for another pass catcher.
