I have never said we are taking Willis. Willis is who I would like them to take. He is my QB1.

I know, I was just asking what he meant. He was disputing me on you saying we liked Pickett.

Who has compared him to Burrow?

His season is similar I suppose.

Maybe I'm just at acceptance, but he does some things well. I think at worst we get a good backup quarterback. However, I hope the Panthers take the Arizona approach if that's the case. He really needs to learn to step up in the pocket though.

Darnold did a few things well, too.

Yeah, but they were completely different things. I called out how awful the Darnold trade was at the time, and did so with the Teddy signing as well.

I'm just saying I can see why some scouts have him as the number one quarterback this year. I can also see why he'll be a failure in the NFL, and was very open about it the last few weeks.

Lmao all these guys hating on Pickett… why? Hes by far the best QB in the draft and actually looks a lot like Joe Burrow

Gotta save this as one of the most freezing cold takes of all-time.  This will not age well.  If Pickett (on any team) ever makes the playoffs as a starting QB, I’ll chop off my left hand.  If he ever makes a SUPER BOWL, I’ll let you chop off my right.

If you want a starting QB who struggles to attack the left sideline, then just get Mitchell Trubisky. He'd be cheaper and the outcome will be the same. Not to mention the Panthers could use the 6th round pick for a franchise player.

He's great if you just want to attack the middle and right side of the field. Too bad this isn't college defense anymore. Whipple took 3 seasons to figure out how to scheme around Pickett's deficiencies. If Whipple were a head coach in the NFL, he wouldn't take Pickett.

[Jay Roosevelt]

Pickett is a good prospect. He'd be a reach at #6, but the guy isn't some trash QB. He played at a very high level last year.

I love how some of the same people who are convinced Pickett is the next Ryan Leaf are out here acting like Sam Howell is a future hall of famer.

I don't know he is gonna be a dud but his ceiling seems so obviously lower than is necessary to be taking in the top 15

He looks like a dud to me. Take Mac Jones and drop it a couple of levels. Way overblown prospect. Looks like Little as a QB to me, it's that bad. 

[Panthera onca]

This better be a smokescreen. Pickett at 6 would be a disaster.

[Snake]

We already know this is going to be the move. I've already excepted the stupidity.

If it's after a trade down, fine.

I’m worried that dumbass will trade up for him. There’s no way Rhule signs off on a trade down.

Yeah I had admitted I was totally dooped on Mac Jones. There was a lot out there about him, the team I was connected to had him penciled in at 3. Shannahan runs a great smokescreen, Rhule does not. 

I don’t necessarily think you were wrong about Mac at 3. I’ve read im a couple different spots that Shannahan was dead set on Mac but felt overwhelming pressure from his fan base and front office to take the freakish athleticism that Lance  provides. 
 

I don’t think it’s out of the question to say that Mac Jones on that niners team has them in the super bowl.
