Any opinions on Kenny Pickett? He’s really turned it on this year. Four year starter.

Ive watched like one half of a game from him (Clemson), what does he do well in your opinion?  For the little I watched it appears pitt has a senior team and play hard as hell.  However nothing really jumped off the page in regards to him.  Again that was like 2nd half of a blowout so I fully admit that.

I watched his early game against Tennessee. I know Tenn isn’t anything special, but he was manipulating the defense, going through his reads, avoiding pressure and making clutch throws. It seemed like whenever they needed a first down he made it happen. The commentators were talking about his he went to Manning’s QB school in the offseason and sort of bonded with him.

Thanks I see that Kiper has him as the #1 qb prospect now and Mcshay has him the 4rth best behind willis, corral and ridder.

There is a piece on his relationship with Manning.

I haven’t seen him at all, just seen more of him draft wise recently. Seems to be having a great year. I won’t see him until bowl season

I think I like Pickett as the best of the bunch. Obviously, lower ceiling than most of the prospects but a lot higher floor. 

Corral.....I just can't get into him. 

Ridder I kind of like. Not 1st round like but I wouldn't be upset if we got him in the 2nd or 3rd(yes, I know those are phantom picks for us).

I also like Pickett, he plays with an attitude and an edge, big, can make off balance throws.

I dont think we can pick a QB this next year.. Our target should be to acquire an additional 1st rounder in 2023 to give us ammo to move up if needed.

The 2022 draft should focus on o'line help and 2023 draft capital. 

Another year of Darnold???

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
