QB Brock Purdy Goes Ahead Of Kenny Pickett In CBS Sports Redraft

Despite being the first quarterback off the board in the 2022 NFL Draft, Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett still has had his critics all year. In fact, now that the NFL season has concluded many people believe Pickett is the second best quarterback in the class behind Brock Purdy of the San Francisco 49ers.

Today this was on display as Chris Trapasso of CBS Sports put out a redraft of the 2022 NFL Draft with Purdy going to the Saints at pick 16, four spots before Pickett.

“The Saints pull the trigger on a quarterback and pick Purdy to operate the offense,” Trapasso wrote.
