safest prospects for us need not be huge projects like Ridder/Willis and to some extent, Corral. Though it could be said that this is a somewhat weak QB draft class. It's a defensive draft. Willis may have the highest ceiling if everything went perfect.
Pickett and Strong are probably the most NFL ready but as others have mentioned, Pickett is an older prospect and is coming 'on' in his 4th or 5th year at Pitt. Strong is accurate as hell but stiff.
I stand by Howell and his early play has gotten cleaner as of late.
It's a tough year for us, naturally, to be looking for a QB in the draft.
