George Pickens
 

Why isn't this kid being talked about? Injury of course but man when healthy he looks like an explosive receiver who can catch anything thrown his way. Would love to have him but I'm honestly not sure where he should go.

He’s being talked about more than you know.

So much, that he could possibly go late 1st round early 2nd.

I don't think I'd want a 1st being used on him but I don't think he makes it to 50.

To me, his tape pops more than the other top WR's. I'd have zero issue with him as a late 1st for the Chiefs.

He’s a guy that will be on the radar if we trade back with a team wanting a QB and is willing to pony up.

He looks lanky to me? Like he can’t move or make breaks well enough?

I'd like him in the 2nd. He's similar to CeeDee Lamb in terms of build so I dont' see much issue there. Just GA receivers man... never pro-ready, thus no 1st for me.

Interesting. Huge differences.

For me, this stuff is better than the acrobatic catches. I don't know what's wrong with me but I absolutely love that he tried to ram Swilling's head into that wall.

Im with you man! I think this guy just moved way up my list of WRs.

He has the size, speed, drop rate and I LOVE that attitude! We need that on offense!!

More context:
Receptions/Targets (Catch Percentage) [Drop Rate]

Pickens - 90 rec/126 tar (71.4%) [2.1%]
Moore - 171 rec/258 tar (66.3%) [3.3%]
Olave - 175 rec/253 tar (69.2%) [4.7%]
Dotson - 183 rec/302 tar (60.6%) [5.1%]
London - 160 rec/224 tar (71.4%) [5.7%]
Pierce - 106 rec/173 tar (61.3%) [6.4%]
Wilson - 143 rec/207 tar (69.1%) [6.8%]
Ross - 158 rec/249 tar (63.5%) [7.1%]
Burks - 146 rec/227 tar (64.3%) [7.4%]
Williams - 94 rec/147 tar (63.9%) [7.7%]
Tolbert - 178 rec/321 tar (55.5%) [8.4%]
Watson - 104 rec/180 tar (57.8%) [12.7%]

These numbers are career. For instance, Tolbert and Watson did reach 60% catch rates in their final seasons but I think its good to look at the overall body of work too.

I will say, the numbers may change my stance on Tolbert a bit though. You definitely would like to see a combined high catch rate and low drop rate. Pickens, Olave, London, Wilson, and Moore look to be the relative cream of the crop.

Edit:

Here's a couple of other favorites out there:

Danny Gray - 82/121 (67.8%) [9.7%]
Calvin Austin III - 156/275 (56.7%) [5.9%]

I'm on board the George Pickens train now, that was a little badass.

After watching him push three different CBs into complete submission and humiliation, sign me up! I'm a big fan of whatever that was. :thumb:
