Pickens (6'3/200) wasn't utilized very much at Georgia.

In the limited usage that Pickens did receive, he was targeted heavily on two routes. Per PFF, he was targeted 34% of the time on go routes and 33% on hitches. With the other 33%, the highest any other route had was 7% (out). When he gets to the NFL, route running will need to be a focus for the fringe first-round selection.

This concerns me.

Yeah, it's an issue.

I don't understand why any elite pass catching prospect would want to go to Georgia.

As I keep saying, if you're looking at the big/fast/outside WR types who could be there at 30 or 50, both Pickens and Watson have some question marks. They're roughly equivalent in my book as a result.
