He is very raw, but his size is unmatched and should allow him to play right away. No DE/Edge in the league is gonna overpower this dude, but he could definitely get beat with speed/skill moves.
I like that we've met with so many TEs. Obviously, Trey McBride is the dream in this class, but I wouldn't be upset with Cade Otton either. Jeremy Ruckert is a guy that is very athletic, but he wasn't very productive at Ohio St. I wouldn't hate taking him with a 4th or 5th round pick, but he is lower on my TE wish list.
Ruckert most definitely has the talent - his production was hampered by a blessing of great wide receivers at tOSU.

I agree that the talent is there. He is very athletic, though his 40 time was a little disappointing. Wouldn't hate the pick, but there are other guys who are just as athletic and have the stats to back it up too. My TE rankings as of now: Trey McBride Jalen Wydermyer Jelani Woods (4.61 40!) Cade Otton Jake Ferguson Isaiah Likely Greg Dulcich Jeremy Ruckert Chigoziem Okonkwo Lucas Krull Charlie Kolar I would be disappointed if we didn't draft one of these guys. There really isn't anyone else I would be super interested in. Everyone else either is too short, can't block, or isn't really athletic enough to be considered a weapon in the passing game, imo.
Eh, I like Pickett, but he seems too much like Drew Lock. A bit older of a QB prospect. Decent athleticism, but nothing very special. Not super accurate for most of his college career. A Kirk Cousins/Derek Carr type of QB seems to be his ceiling, imo. That isn't bad. You can win with those guys. But they aren't great QBs. And the floor is obviously Drew Lock, which isn't good.
