I can't believe people are falling for this. Granted a fifth year when he has a significant age and experience advantage he finally put up good stats. Before he put up JAG stats. When you actually watched him play, he still looked like a JAG. The arm is average. The athleticism measurables don't show up. Here's nothing to get excited about. He's a more mobile Mac Jones physically but Mac Jones is the smarter QB.

This 100%

Pickett is the best QB option.  That is completely clear IMO.  Not necessarily the best option overall

I strongly disagree. I'd take Willis, Howell, and Corral for sure over him. Those are the only three I'd take in the 1st. Pickett would be my #5 behind Ridder and he'd be #6 if it wasn't for Strong's injury concerns. There's just nothing there to get excited about IMO.

Here is what I am seeing will happen…Willis goes second round.

Pickett and Ridder are the two QBs most likely to go top 15.   Corral goes 2nd round.  Ridder is probably going much earlier than people think.

Willis is the wildcard but I think he drops much lower than people think

There's no way Willis doesn't go in the 1st. I think someone falls in love and he goes too 10.

I'm not certain he SHOULD go in the 1st but I'll be shocked if he doesn't.

Pickett shouldn't. He's a more athletic Kyle Trask.

I have to disagree there…much more dynamic than Trask.  Pickett can play.  I do actually worry how much better he is than Darnold but lets face it,  Darnold has never played behind a decent OL.  That is just a fact

Trask was a better college QB he was just physically limited. Pickett's arm isn't any better. He's a better athlete but it doesn't really show up on game day.

He's a prototype 2nd rounder.

Darnold played behind a good OL at USC where he was also plagued by turnover issues. Darnold just isn't a QB. He's a talented thrower of the football but he's not a QB.

Pickett is talented…more than I thought early on.  He is way more advanced at reading the field than these other QBs.  Decent athleticism too.  Still…if Evan Neal is on the board pick him.  Ikey has big bust potential IMO.  Cross is talented but undersized.  Evan Neal is my pick and I would consider other positions as well.  Do think a move down if Neal is gone would be ideal

Polian says a lot of the same things I think about what makes a great quarterback. Just being a great athlete who can run fast and throw far isn't enough.

Too many people fall in love with the highlight reels and don't look at the whole picture.

Who do you want?

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
