We have a one pick in the top 100….and are going to draft a day 2 caliber QB with a top 10 pick? 

that’s a swinging at a pitch in the dirt 

Well that's the thing: nobody really knows for sure how most QBs are going to do anyway. We've all seen plenty of day 1 & 2 busts. We've also seen QB hits on day 3.  At this point, I think we're going to need a miracle anyway, otherwise we'll be doing some major renovations in 2023, and maybe even QB like @Jon Snow said. 

Basically, I have low expectations and don't think the world ending hinges on our 2022 draft picks.

Well when you have 1 pick in the top 100…..you need to take a lotto pick with good odds.   Every gamble isn’t the same.

I think Pickett can still be a fine pro, and he clearly possesses traits where I can see why he could be a desirable option for some teams.

I do find it hilarious though that he's apparently been a disaster at the Senior Bowl (which, really, shouldn't matter THAT much) but we're just over there smitten with him lol.

He actually hasn't been a disaster tho... He had a very bad day 2 in the rain but had a good day 3.  I think Willis has more potential, but the Pickett narrative isn't entirely what I've been seeing from media sources like below

We should probably just go ahead and take Willis if the Steelers are willing to move up that far.

There is definitely truth to that, but look at what the Niners gave up to move to 3 and take Lance. I’ve obviously won’t get 3 firsts, but if we could get their 1st, 2nd, and next year’s 1st, it’s definitely something to consider…

No kidding. 

I'm worried about just how raw Willis appears to be but apparently he is doing very well at taking to coaching and direction at the Senior Bowl. 

Given what appears to be a very high ceiling I think he's my preference at 6 if not OT.

So we will probably draft Pickett. Or a corner.  Can always use more corners.

Fitterer is leaning on Bradway? No wonder we have Sam Darnold and on our way to Kenny Pickett.

I'd keep my distance from anything Bradway recommends. The GM who bet the franchise on Chad Pennington while passing on Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers. He pushed the Jets as a consultant toward Mark Sanchez.  He has demonstrated little to no success as a talent evaluator and GM.

I value a GM by the people they choose to consult with to build a team. Fitterer is not doing a good choice of picking his friends and mentors.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By thennek · Posted

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.

      Big news that could dramatically affect our offensive production for the rest of the season.

      By Newtcase · Posted

      The lack of production is especially surprising given how much effort the team put into coaxing the best from him.  In just six short years he’s had the opportunity to work with 3 different GMs, 7 different head coaches and 10 different starting quarterbacks.  There’s literally no excuse to be made that one of those combos didn’t work.  It might be time to look withIAN.
