I think Pickett's biggest hurdle to clear will be his processing speed. He was very slow to throw the ball in college, and that will have to improve if he is to survive behind Pittsburgh's current offensive line. Burrow has a little hold-on-too-long in him too, but he also has shown he can get rid of it quickly when he must. Pickett absolutely must find a way to improve in that regard, and perhaps he will (who knows), or otherwise the Steelers need to play Trubisky until they bolster pass protection.
Good point about slow release, but by the same token, one might argue that Ben’s best years came in his ‘holds on to the ball to long’ days.
