I said early on, typical GA WR. Not coached up very well. They suck at route running and understanding route concepts. He has a higher than normal learning curve. What puts him on the map is that he's big, he's fast, and has caught everything thrown his way so far. I say so far with a caveat that he didn't have too many catches in traffic like some other guys on the list. What's going to happen on those inside slants and digs?
There are question marks with Pickens I wouldn't have with other WRs. I'd love him at 50 but 30 is really pushing it for me. |

Yea, not sure how you can watch Pickens and not come away at least seeing WR1 upside.
He’s bigger, stronger, and just as fast as Marvin Jones. And he clearly has “alpha” qualities. Just look at how he bullies guys in the run game. |

The attitude on display is what gets me. It tells me that the only way Pickens busts is due to injury. The dude walks on the field ready to kick ass. If he busts it won't be because he didn't care or didn't try.

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?

I disagree with everything in your assessment. That's my explanation. Other than the injury concerns. And THAT is why he's not a top 15 pick. |

It's not as simple as "run a deep out" or "run a post".
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. |

Has to do with your "it's just a route tree how can they not learn it". We aren't the ones being emotional here. |

What I meant is that yeah, it's a route tree. How can they not learn it? You guys make it sound like Pickens has no idea how to play WR. This is absurd. Is he likely to be a little rawer than some others based on the style of offense he played in and the routes he's run? Sure, maybe. Or maybe not, and there's just not a lot of tape on other things. At any rate, we have one of the best offensive minds in the history of football here in KC. I imagine they can tighten up some sloppy route running. I mean, that's why you have coaches. But when people act like the guy has no idea how to run a route, that's completely asinine. It's a bunch of people that have read a couple of blurbs and want to spout some bullshit and act like they know what they're talking about. Trying to make it sound like the guy is a straight line go-route guy and that's it is DUMB. Some people want to talk themselves into "Jameson Williams is the only real true #1 receiver in this draft and all of the rest are trash". It's ****ing stupid. |

You're knocking George Pickens for skinny legs when you want Jameson Williams?
