Pickett throws a smooth short to intermediate football and excels at the “up and out” deep ball that Drew Brees and Payton Manning had so much success with. He benefits from watching guys like Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert who saw similar ascensions that has made them young top throwers in the NFL. Every year in college he ascended higher and higher, and he could see that trend continue in the NFL. Pickett isn’t the best quarterback in the draft but he is the most drastically improved. In 2021, they traded for former New York Jets first round pick, Sam Darnold, only to bench him for their prodigal son Newton mid-season. The Panthers need a new signal caller and fast! The draft is where that new reign starts and here is how it could shake out. T he Panthers need a fresh start now, a new regime and face that revamps the team’s hope and pays off in the end. The days of Jake Delhomme and Steve Smith were good times and they seemed to recapture that with Cam Newton and company in the mid 2010’s but have tapered off since. The Panthers have been a team that seems to go up and down as the years go on, especially after Super Bowl runs.
