Honestly, the more of Pickett I watch, the more I like. 

I like him and Corral the most of this class.

What about his Trubisky like limits on his throws down the left sideline with more ball wobble and float? Mid field and right side are great. OC at Pitt limited his passes to the left to rollouts all the way to the sideline before he squared up his shoulders. His INTs are primarily on his left side, and he will run a majority of the time and not look to pass if he is flushed to the left. Trouble holding onto the ball too on runs and when defenders swipe at his throws from behind. He can't grip and pull the ball down with just his throwing hand.

Defenses will figure him out quickly like Trubisky. I wish there was a way to just let Pickett focus on the right side of the field in the NFL. He'd be hard to stop.

If we take him and he has fumbling issues or has trouble pushing the ball to the boundaries the coaches cannot complain.  That is what you are drafting 

I don't know whether Pickett is going to be a great pro quarterback or not. I definitely have some concerns, and at least for now wouldn't feel real comfortable about taking him #6 overall.

But after spending the better part of a season mercilessly mocking Matt Rhule for being worried about the arm length of Brady Christensen and Rashawn Slater, I'm not about to turn around and say "Oh, but you definitely should be worried about the hand size of Kenny Pickett" 🙄

Tepper with PITT ties.

Rhule with final say of roster and decisions.

 

Yup. Pickett is the pick. 

 

It's gonna be weird when Rhule is gone and we have 2 24 yo QB's in our roster that didn't have a chance to succeed under Rhule. 

Pick 6 Pickett!

He is the Baker Mayfield of this draft while Malik Willis is the Josh Allen.

I don't get the Josh Allen comparisons at all besides a strong arm.  I feel like there are two main things the huddle overreacts to with quarterbacks.  Elite arm strength and their running ability.  I'm not saying those things arent positives, just saying people here seem to really overrate them.

He has never demonstrated any of these issues

he can throw the ball in a window on the 5, he can drive the 8, he can push it deep on the move.

this is just something you made up because you heard “small hands.”

No its not..

Oh, I fully expect us to make a colossal mistake at QB this off-season. An absolute all-timer. We've made dumb decision after dumb decision at QB since Rhule was hired each being dumber and more desperate than the last. It all feels like it's setting the stage for a Herschel Walker trade level or Sean Gilbert franchise tag sign away level bombshell of a fug up this year.

Will we end up trading UP to take Pickett? Don't rule anything out with this dumbass.

I love it when you call him a dumbass.

Watch years 2017 thru 2020 and tell me what you think..

And that's what gives me pause. 

The traits are still there, but WHY did everything jump up to 11 with him in his senior year? Why did he make such a big leap between his junior and senior seasons? Did everything just click? Is he the next Case Keenum?

Won't know until he gets to the pros and I don't trust our staff to evaluate the best QB in the class.

That's a major red flag and screams a player who hit his peak at the right time..

If he was a FA you would be like stay away from him he was only good in his free agency season..

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm not saying he should be working in the NFL. He did deserve some criticism as DC there. But Kyle Shanahan certainly did use him as a convenient scapegoat. Now there is no one left to throw under the bus. Anyways he could find his way back to the league in some capacity who knows. But he's old school and in the NFL you either adjust or you get left behind. All the same no hard feelings toward him he's a good guy.

      Is it too early to lock up Horn to a long term deal?

      By CRA · Posted

      he has barely suited up for 50% of our games.  It matters pending how much of our cap and resources go that way.  If he cost in the ballpark of a Surtain? No thank you.  Let someone else  And as far we know what happens when we let talent walk away or trade them…..that’s a mixed bag.   should we of paid Norman, Bradberry at CB? They probably had earned the right to be called better than Horn at that moment of the decision.  Do we regret that? Do we regret Star walking? Can take it back to Spoon.  Flip side is probably Peppers.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By frankw · Posted

      We need to get better in the redzone. And yes that is an issue that involves all the moving parts. Oline receivers QB and playcalling. But Bryce himself has to lead the charge on that or surely we could face another blowout in one of these upcoming games. Every team no matter how good they are is going to face an opponent that imposes their will on them and requires the same in response. Those are the games where we have got to capitalize on drives. Honestly I get the sense that the Chiefs on some level overlooked us.  So while I am pleased we were as competitive as we were it certainly remains to be seen if this was the beginning for something new or just an anomaly. I think that's a perfectly fair take at this juncture.
