But he's not a raw 21 year old who needs development, he's at an age where other QBs already prepare for negotiating their second contract. I'd at the very least love to see something that makes me believe he could become good in a couple of years, but I just see bang average. I'll happily eat my crow if he proves me wrong though.

Young QBs who excel at the game are an exception to the norm and not something that should be expected to happen. Look at the first round QBs for the last five years, excluding 2022, there are 5 or 6 who have proven to be top tier, another 4 or 5 who are mid-pack and the rest (8 or so) are busts. I'll be satisfied with a mid-pack Pickett because the results could be much worse over the next couple drafts.
