Drafting a player is like formulating a hypothesis in a scientific experiment. You know what you think the answer is, but it takes time and a lot of effort to find out if you’ve actually hit the mark. While the Kenny Pickett experiment remains ongoing for the Pittsburgh Steelers, however, onlookers are growing increasingly comfortable speculating their hypothesis, that he is a franchise quarterback, is correct.

The latest to weigh in has no small amount of bias, I grant you, but his football acumen is rightly respected. Not only is Merril Hoge a former Steeler, he currently works for the team as a scout, so impartiality is not possible.
