I remember being intrigued by the pick, but I’ve also thought that Pickett should be on a shorter leash. He was envisioned as a low-risk but NFL-ready QB, and he was also older than most blue chip prospects. Personally, I think he’s the kind of player that you start right away and see what you have.
I thought he showed flashes early next year, but Pickett never quite showed what I was hoping for. I don’t think he would be quite as bad under a better OC, but still essentially a backup-level QB.
