From our NFL Draft coverage: The #Steelers would've been fine with four QBs — but Kenny Pickett was atop their board. And he'll be ready to compete. pic.twitter.com/glugQaiUSi

Damnit! I don’t know how to feel about the @steelers selecting Pickett. I mean, I know he can play. But I kept hearing about this kid, Willis. So did they take Pickett because he’s better or because he’s home-grown? Damnit, I’m concerned. I’m concerned!!!

I’m 3 for 3 on Kenny Pickett.

Let’s. Go.

I could cry.
