From Pitt coach Narduzzi…

"It's a complete joke, measuring this, measuring that," Narduzzi said. "If they want to measure anything, what they should do is do open heart surgery, go check and see how big that chest cavity is and how big the heart is inside that chest, if you really want to analyze. What are we talking about? There's nobody out there who's going to play harder and put everything he's got into it than Kenny Pickett. This kid doesn't have a flaw. That's what (scouts) do. It's the same thing at the combine, they're going to find something else to pick on him.

"It's not going to be a factor."

Pickett finished his career as Pitt's all-time leader in passing yards (12,303), pass completions (1,045), total offense (13,112), touchdown responsibility (102) and passing touchdowns (81) as a four-year starter under Narduzzi.

I honestly don’t see the point in drafting a QB who isn’t exactly what we want. If you’re just going to draft Pickett because he’s more ready, does he have more potential than a FA QB? Then, skip him. I’m not really big on Willis either. If we find an LT, I say we trade the pick for a later one and add another 1st round in 2023.

Tanking makes people not want to come here

I mean that's college coach speak, and why wouldn't he speak highly of one of his guys? NFL staffs are probably like yeah that's nice and everything but we see these flaws that don't translate to having a 10-15 year starter

Wouldn't draft him ahead of Mac Jones or Matt Ryan. Is good at football but had a limited ceiling, much like Derek Carr. If you're picking a guy at 6 you want a guy more talented who doesn't need gloves to grip the ball. 

There is absolutely NO need to talk yourself into an average prospect like him simply bc you're desperate for a winner and unwilling to stomach a rebuild. 

If you wanna trade down and draft him, that's a different conversation, but hes not worth the 6th overall pick and neither is Willis.

I am not saying you are completely wrong but you should probably start warming up to these 2 dudes.  Just saying 1 is probably going at 6

      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...
