What numbers do you project for Kenny Pickett in his first full season as starter?
Though he showed a number of promising flashes as a rookie, Pickett should be considered a middle-of-the-road depth option until further notice. It’s just hard to get excited about a player who threw more interceptions (nine) than touchdowns (seven) when there are so many other proven options at the position.
