Rapoport says it could have been Pickett

[Mr. Scot]

Speaking on NFL Network's draft coverage just now, both Ian Rapoport and Peter Schrager stated that the Panthers were indeed prepared to take Kenny Pickett at #6 if Ikem Ekwonu hadn't fallen to them.

You are ruining me buzz man. Let's pretend that is all bs and ignore it.

I heard him say that. 

Wonder if it would Pickett over Neal/cross or only if all 3 of those tackles were gone.  That would have been unfortunate. 

[Rocky Davis]

Hard to believe they would have taken Pickett over Neal there or Cross.  We would definitely be a special kind of stupid if that had happened.

Maybe the Football Gods saved us.

But it was going to be. That's bad enough.

Schrager said he thought that Pickett was the pick inside the panthers room, Ian basically stated that it was plausible. I believe they were saying it out of speculation not out of fact.

It would have been Pickett or Penning for sure. Assuming the other tackles were gone too, which I guess was never going to happen as some expected. I highly doubt they would have taken Pickett over Neal or Cross, that is just not true lol

I trust Panthro.  He has shared many things over the years well before they happened.

That, and John Ellis also reported last night or this morning that Corral was the #1 QB on our board.

This is BS.

They only addressed Ekwonu, likely because he was the guy taken.
