Not the Confederate general but the former first round pick.

Meh.

 
Good with him as a back up better than AO'C in my opinion. Upgraded the back up qb position but not by much. Giving up a 5th rd pick was a little rich
 
Didn't he light up our defense a few years ago? I guess he is a capable back up but he isn't a difference maker.
 
You're not going to find a Brock Purdy two weeks before the season starts. Not the best passer but at least he can scramble.
 

SCOUTING REPORT: STRENGTHS​

  • Possesses a good right arm and is capable of making most NFL throw easily. Can drive the deep out to the sideline from the opposite hash and has no problem threading the needle between closing defenders. Easily zips to all areas of the field, demonstrating very good touch on underneath routes to running backs and receivers, as well as down the sideline on deep passes.
  • He is second in Pitt history in single-season touchdown passes to Dan Marino (37 in 1981) and Rod Rutherford (37 in 2003)
  • Pickett has good pocket awareness and is confident in his abilities
  • Good arm strength and can easily make all the NFL throws with effortless deep passes.
  • Moves well has quick feet and can escape a pass rush - good scrambler
  • He has shown patience in taking the check-down throws when necessary and has good zip on his throws
  • Good zip and ball placement on the quick slant. Good touch down the seam and on post-corner, flag routes to attack the defense vertically and horizontally.
  • Sticks throws into tight windows over the middle, throwing to spot on slant or between zone defenders before the receiver is open.
  • Flashes good accuracy to all levels of the field and has the arm strength to make every requisite NFL throw.

SCOUTING REPORT: WEAKNESSES​

  • Too often fails to give receivers a chance to make a play after the catch - has been inconsistent early in his college career
  • Needs to improve his touch at all levels and know when to gun it and when to take something off his throws. Accuracy is solid, but far from great with streaky ball placement downfield as he tries to thread the needle too much.
  • Has struggled with his decision-making and needs to improve his pre-snap recognition skills to read defenses and see blitzes. Doesn't decipher information as quickly as you would like, but does see the entire field and understands coverage.
  • Has looked jumpy in the pocket when confronted with a heavy pass rush
  • Arm strength was underwhelming at the senior bowl - raised some red flags
  • Has small hands which can make throwing in the rain a struggle
  • Unconventionalelongated throwing motion
  • Marginal height, which will prove more of a detriment in an offense that asks him to drop back from center more often
