2022 SI Fan Draft mock has Lions taking QB at 1 overall. No, not that one. Or that one. Or that one either

The War Room Detroit Lions — The Den
#1

First time I’ve even heard this name mentioned:

1. Detroit Lions: Kenny Pickett, QB, Pitt

The Lions could go in several different directions with this pick, but they need a franchise quarterback. Goff is just the bridge, and Pickett has performed at a very high level this season. Pickett is pro-ready, with really good size and mobility. He currently has 21 passing touchdowns and only one interception. With strong performances against Clemson and UNC and a good Senior Bowl, Pickett has the upward trajectory to end up going first overall.

Anybody know anything about this guy?

#2

I know he’s the current projection at 65 on Tankathon. That’s a 3rd round pick.

#3

Pickett playing Clemson this upcoming weekend. That should be a good measure of his play, even though it’s a down year for Clemson. They still have a great program.

I hope some QB’s really start flying up the draft board regardless of if we are drafting one this year or not.

#4

I watched Pickett play Tennessee early in the season. He seemed very sure of himself and the commentators had very high opinions of him.

#5

I will take closer look at Pickett i am leaning towards Desmond Ridder From Cinn

#6

He’s got teeny tiny little hands and you know what that means….

…. TINY quarterbacking ability.

Well, teams start to worry about turnovers with that small of hands.

That’s a really bad mock draft.

#10

If we do that, we had damn sure better draft a WR named Wilson.

And reads like it was written by a 5th grader

The amount of mocks that will have us taking a QB will be staggering. My favorite mock so far has us taking the Alabama OT, then the Iowa OC with our first rounders. I like both those players, but really? Do you know anything about the Lions?

#13

I’m on the fence about this.

No QB is worth taken with the first overall pick. Take the best player in the draft, don’t reach.

I like that the kid is playing his way up the boards. There’s always a surprise or two qb who rockets up the charts during the season. Similar to Kyle Wilson and Josh Allen. Will watch Pittsburgh going forward.

#17

If anything Josh Allen fell on draft boards. He was being hyped as possible #1 pick before his last season at Wyoming.

#18

I’m scared AF of drafting a QB, but If we can get a Herbert or Josh Allen, I’m all in. I just see so many friggin’ QBs come out and suck royal bunghole

#19

Pickett will be fine as long as we don’t have a OC named Longstreet and a coach named Lee.
