He is extremely underrated in the draft because he is coming back from ACL. Prior to his injury he looked like one of the best WR in college football and I believe he would be in the discussion to be the first WR drafted if not for the injury. He reminds me of AJ Green, another Georgia Bulldog. I guess I saw Green as a can't miss kind of prospect. Whereas Pickens is a classic "boom or bust" kind of prospect. Given his injuries and productivity, ideally he is a mid to late second round pick. While I'm on board with him in round one (because I crave a WR with his traits), I have little doubt that there will be better, more productive players on the board where we are picking.

Seems tougher on tape then Olave He breaks more tackles, for sure. My house cats break about as many tackles as Olave. But....let's just get both of them!

I'll take that bet. Chase, Waddle, Samuel, Metcalf, McLaurin, Brown, Jefferson These are all young guys who will be at their prime (like Adams) in 5 years. And there are a host of others a tier below as well. The one that I think could crack in there is Williams. He's got that rare height / speed going on with him. But, the others can all be very solid and you can win with them. But yah, I'll take the field to be top 5 in 5 years. You can have this draft class against the field.

Kampfgeist Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Calvin Ridley plays in any offense. He played in the 180's. He was becoming a real star for Atlanta before stepping away-- 90 1374 9tds in 2020. Guys don't have to be move blockers like Allen Lazard to play if they have enough willingness to be in the way and create gaps. Emmanuel Sanders, Tyler Lockett can play and be very effective in our offense as boundary players. Not everyone needs to be a 210# monster to play. Olave, Wilson, Williams, Dotson can play in any offense 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Falcons offense is not MLF's offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfanfb Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Peter finally catching on. For what the Packers need from a safety, I might take Pitre OVER Dax Hill. Hill is probably the better overall player in terms of CB skills, but Pitre is the better safety, especially near the LOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't hit those measurements he can't possibly play physical enough to play on OUR team. #sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
