He might be available in the second.....could be a great gamble if he's fully recovered.

I'd absolutely be in on Pickens in the 2nd but I couldn't talk myself into him in the 1st.

For all the talk about what he 'could have' done, there's a real concern that what he actually did wasn't all that great even when he was healthy.

No doubt he has plenty of skills, but that's a prototype 2nd round prospect, IMO. Talent for the 1st, concerns regarding injury/productivity that put him in the 2nd.

Yeah, that's where I'm at on him. 2nd round possibility. I just remember all the things he was supposed to be before he got hurt...nowadays they can recover from almost anything.

I've mentioned my desire to get Jameson numerous times so I won't go into that again, but Pickens with the 2nd is just as good, if we can get a legit DE with our 1st.

His sklill set is there and he comes from a school known for producing quality WRs.

Perfect world, I think I'd like to still grab Jameson and find a way to steal Danielle Hunter for a prove it contract...but a Karlaftis/Pickens combo would be pretty damn good as well, while being WAY cheaper.
