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. |

Route running is not just mental. Route running has to do with your physical gifts. Do you have the ability to sink your hips and change direction, make cuts, and explode in and out of breaks? 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. That’s why pickens can’t run routes.

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

Look, I like Watson too. I think that IF there is a generational talent WR that comes out of this draft (and I don't really think there is! But IF there's a guy that ends up a hall of famer, MVP type guy) it's Watson. But that would require a lot of smoothing of rough edges. If there's a team and a coach that could get that out of him, it's Andy Reid. But I like Pickens, I like his fight, I like his hands, I like his ball tracking. He's big, he's fast enough to be a problem especially with his size and ball tracking. |

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

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. |

You know what keeps DK from being able to run the entire route tree? Physics.
Seriously. Stop asking a guy like that to run a loose hips kind of route. He's not gonna be great change of direction and quickness guy, obviously. Look at the size of him. Physics won't allow him to be. So ask guys to do what they excel at. Problem solved. |

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. |
