Pickett will be a Panther

What a waste of the 6th pick

If so then please let it be in the teens or 20s with us picking up some day 2 draft capital. Pickett at 6 would be a mistake.

I agree on the spot but no way Pickett or Willis last to the 20’s if you have a 1st round grade on a QB teams will trade up for them especially with the top 2 this year

Probably true, and I'd let the other teams make that mistake then. Reaching for Pickett just isn't a good idea for this team. We could get a similar caliber QB in the mid/late 1st round next season easily. Either nab the BPA (likely a LT) at 6 or trade down and get back some of that day 2 capital we've thrown away recently. But yeah there's a good chance we do take Pickett at 6. I'd be excited and hopeful about having him but would not be happy about the value there ultimately.

 

Edit: then again I will also point out that I absolutely HATED the idea of considering Justin Herbert a few years ago and thought he was only worth a late 1st rounder at most. Obviously we know how that has turned out, so my opinion doesn't mean all that much...

So Panthers-like to take the QB in the down middle year between stacked QB classes.

I don't mind taking one. Just trade down and get a haul before you do so.

You can't take one of these guys at #6, that's crazy.

Don't think you can get Pickett or Willis in the teens and definitely not in the 20's. 

 

All the teams from 6 to 10 need a qb. Then a few in the low teens. If Pickett is first off the board he's going between 5-9. Willis not far behind him.

I couldn't see either of them making it past the Steelers.

Nobody knows what these guys will turn out to be.....a Ryan Leaf or a Tom Brady. Just a roll of the dice.

Their gonna have to take one of them at 6, furthest they could probably drop back is 8th and that's likely a jump up for a QB. So yea it's gonna happen and it's gonna happen at 6. Only way it doesn't happen is if one of the top 2 ot fall to them.

Lots can change but I really feel next year is the one for a QB.  FA options have dried up but if Minshew is available or Fitzpatrick is still out there that would be my move.  Then next year we dive into a deeper QB class.

If anyone's going save Rhule I guess it should be his guy...

Hope the Panthers don’t trade up to pick Pickett.

Agreed. I see no way one of them makes it past Seattle
