Get him in and give him plenty of time, he's going to need to be really fit to play his role. I hope he takes a leaf out of Caleb Daniel's book, if he applies a heap of defensive pressure the rest will come. Look forward to this addition.

He's 20 years old. I'd expect him to be eased into footy from his injury and not play till the back end of the season. Wont do a full preseason till 17/18 IMO.
Zero reasons to rush him, and every reason to take extra time.

Welcome Jarrod, hope you become the most famous Pickett to play the game. Can't wait to see you in full flight in the Navy Blue.

Welcome and go well young man.
Sumner's foot was apparently buggered and I liked the look of him with no pre season. Let's hope Pickett has the same luck and has healed up well.

This guy looms as our biggest trade steal this year. That run and carry and blistering speed is genuinely exciting. Get him on the wings and let him carve it up between the arcs.
Welcome Jarrod!

Cannot believe we ended up with this guy, I certainly didn't pick it!! 
Summner had a fractired navicular and got surgery and screws put in it to fix the bone.Pickett has ligament damage around the forefoot and also had to have screws put in it last april.Unfortunately ligaments take longer than bone,any of you will know this with a knee strain etc..
Pickett might have a very limited preseason,with upper body work only and wont do training drills or matches....he can swim,cycle and build legs with weights though..should see him in the Vfl early/mid rounds and a possible debut in Afl late season...
He was dradted at no.4 for a reason,he is a very very good footballer with the potential Carlton will find out and develope.When our forwards mature and our mids are strengthened we can and possibly will go into finals a few years from now with players like this.

Realise the difference in injuries, just hope it goes the same way as Sumner. Not expecting much next year other than positive signs when he's ready, certainly no rush, it's a long term investment.

It's something we have lacked and really missed.. if Pickett can get the fitness up we could potentially have a new Yaz in a couple of years.
