Pickens, to me, has #1 upside if he can just manage to be healthy. Austin on the other hand, he's a guy I can't ever see becoming more than a functional slot on par with Mecole Hardman. I'd be okay with it but I'd rather make that stab for a guy that I think could replace JuJu next year rather than worrying so much about replacing Mecole.
Now, going with Sam Williams at 62 is something I'd definitely consider but that really does force a worse WR pick at 103. It's almost a pick your poison situation. If I'm going for Johnson high, then I'm not as high on going with Williams later because I see both more as WDEs. I'd probably look harder at Cam Thomas if he's there in that situation or a guy like Paschal in the 3rd or Thomas or Clemons in the 4th.
Going with your scenario also changes the approach at CB. I think this team needs to get a CB and I'd like one that could potentially play significant snaps early on. I think that means finding one before the end of day 2. If it's not a CB, I'd like to think it's a FS type that can play the slot. That's one reason I mocked Pitre in my full round 1 option.
