Last year this board when nuts over Terrace Marshall Jr. with a whole bunch of "we're going to have to get him in the 1st" chatter. The two are very similar players. Both are around 6'2"-6'3" 200 pounds, fast, good catch radius, lack some route polish, etc. Where'd Marshall go? 59th overall. I would not assume he's going to go as high as people think.

There's alot of talent on the board between 30 and 50, including some really good safeties and corners that probably eat up 10 of those 20 picks. Then you have a few good edge rushers and offensive lineman sitting out there too. You probably need to factor in Dotson, Moore, and Watson at WR in that range as well.

There's a good chance he's there at 50. I don't think you have to get him at 30. If you're nervous, maybe move up a handful of spots into the 40's. Otherwise, there are other options.

I don’t understand the love for pickens. Other wrs have been slammed for route running and injury history and pickens is terrible with both. He hasn’t played a lot bc of injuries. He does have great hands and good tracking on deep balls but his change of direction is awful. He’s got skinny legs which doesn’t bode well for staying healthy. And why is punching a guy in the helmet good? Getting suspended for part of the sec championship game is a good thing? That indicates that he’s not smart. Is he fast? In a straight line, yes but he doesn’t have football speed with change of direction so he’s slow in that regard. Don’t understand the love for him. Can someone explain the love for pickens?

It's possible that he just can't learn an NFL route tree (although I don't really understand how that's possible, to be honest. I mean, it's a ****ing route.

Pickens is like a baby deer that’s too heavy up top with skinny legs. He can’t change direction. Get that baby deer (pickens) going fast in a straight line, the baby deer can do that. But change direction or run routes, no. Now watson, does he have the athletic traits to become a good route runner? absolutely, he has all of that ability. Watson is also a day one gadget guy. He’s electric with the ball in hands. His acceleration is crazy and his top end speed is eye popping, Hill like speed. Pickens can’t do any of that; he is a long strider with build up speed. Look at pickens athletic traits and you’ll like him less.

Good lord man.

I'm well ****ing aware it's not that simple; and I also am not a potential NFL WR.

I also did not play at a top tier SEC football college.

Don't be dense.

You guys are over-exaggerating things to try to prove your emotionally biased opinion as fact, when it's clearly not.

The point with pickens legs is emphasizing his athletic traits or profile. You think jameson is a baby deer?

You know what keeps DK from being able to run the entire route tree? Physics.

No....I think you're so hard up for Williams that you're finding flaws in every other WR and trying to knock them down.
