Savage…but true

Man just look at who you are agreeing with. Bunch of nonsense. Pickett did nothing to hurt his draft status 6/6 89 yards and a TD, Willis has teams zeroing in on him from his practices and Howell made a bunch of something out of nothing like he did all year. Ridder and Pickett were the only QBs who really had a pocket to work with, but as it’s been stated this game isn’t going to be taken too seriously by scouts. They just wanted to see the players up close, and listen to the interviews etc…

Reaching for a need, especially at quarterback, can set you back for years.

That doesn't make any sense. Just because your 1st rounder busts this year doesn't mean you can't draft another next year (see Cardinals). Unless you trade up for 3 1st rounders, in which that case you would have a point.

Yeah I think it’s an old school way of thinking, back when the 1st round QBs were making a ton of money. Most teams try to give the drafted QBs a few years to develop, so there is that plus the player you could have drafted instead.

Yeah, you could have an underperforming DT or an injured CB!

Dude…Kenny Pickett is not as good as Darnold.  No way man.  He will be 24 as a rookie. 1 year younger than Sam.  Does not have the arm.  Does not have the pedigree Darnold has.  He isn’t near the player.  The amazingly terrible reach he would be astounding to me.  If we pick Kenny Pickett in this draft at all it is a wasted pick.

So? Lots of QB's have gone 6/6 for 89 yards. Darnold had a few first quarters like that this year. He was still garbage. There's no poise there. Pickett looks a lot like Darnold did. Howell is okay I guess, but doesn't wow me. Eye test, these QB's don't have it, and none of them are worthy of a top 10 pick. Despite us having the NFL's worst collection of QB's currently, I certainly would NOT waste it on any of these jags. 

Like I was really low on Fields and Jones and Lance last year, and didn't want to pick one in the top 10, but these guys are all a tier or two or even three below even those guys. I think the bust potential is greater than 80%. And for a coach and GM needing to make a home run, that's an awful large gamble to make.

I’m not really a Pickett fan, but he can actually read a defense. I think of him as a more mobile Mac Jones. His arm is adequate, probably below average. Scouts are comparing him to Derek Carr. I’m not a fan of him at 6, but Carr is 100x better than Darnold.

Honestly I was more concerned with the poster you were agreeing with writing off ALL the QBs after watching a Senior Bowl…

LOL…Derek Carr is better than anyone even being discussed.  Big Carr fan.  Pickett is nothing even close to Carr.  Pickett is an amazing bust and if he becomes a backup I will flat out be shocked.  If the Panthers can’t see his red flags we are fugged

Mel Kiper is an evaluator I love.  He is flat out about measurables with every prospect.  His love for Pickett is funny to me but I take it with a grain of salt.

There is where Kiper compares him to Carr. There are some similarities, but I can see concerns that you could have as well.

Because not many teams bail on a first rounder, especially a top ten pick, after one year.

Yeah it's happened, but it's not the norm.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
