Many are sleeping on Pickens, he is trended to be a much higher pick then many realize.

I like Pickens. Hopefully he's there in the 2nd.

I would personally trade DOWN in Round 1 and pick Pickens in Late 1-Early 2...but, that's just me. With the way the draft is looking, I think they can find a better OL LATER than a better WR.

I actually believe the WR group stretches much further then the interior lineman. There should be quality receivers on day 2 to pick.

Like many we say in between 24 and 56, this is why we have heard Jerry talk about wanting to move up in the top 3 rds.

I guess my fear in that logic is, while you are probably right, that WR is gonna need to be ready Day 1 because of the Gallup injury.

 

[Avery]

I don't think there's a super blue-chip WR in this draft. Williams is probably the closest to it had he not tore his ACL.

To me, you can nab a good WR in round three should you choose to.

You cannot draft just cause a player will miss a few games in yr 1. What they need is more of a #3 WR, not another 1.

Williams is in that spot because of the injury.

Otherwise, he looks like the best WR in this draft.

 

[xwalker]

Agree.

What they need is more of a #3 WR, not another 1.

Disagree.

No point drafting with the hopes of getting a #3 WR. You can sign a James Washington type every year for cheap.

James Washington will be more ready day 1 than any draft pick.

They would give Pollard more snaps as a slot WR to add WR depth.

 

[reddyuta]

i would definitely move up in this draft but not in the 1st RD.we dont need all those 5h RD picks.

People sleep on Pickens because he’s been unhealthy.

He’s dominated since his freshman year. I think he will be the best early and Kyle Phillips will be the best later pick.

I think either of them are stars in Green Bay

 

[xwalker]

Many are sleeping on Pickens, he is trended to be a much higher pick then many realize.

Pickens has enough issues to keep him out of the 1st and maybe even drop him to late 2nd.

Very small hands (8-3/4").
Thin build (6-3, 195). Height can actually be a disadvantage to some WRs if they don't have bulk. Easier to press them off the line.
Character issues with multiple game ejections.
Not much savvy as a route runner.

Probably a good pick at #56 if his character checks out.

All we need is a 4th receiver. Taking one in the first would be a huge mistake.

 

[CowboyRoy]

James Washington will be more ready day 1 than any draft pick.

They would give Pollard more snaps as a slot WR to add WR depth.

Lamb replaces Cooper as the #1, Gallup remains the #2 he has always been, Washington is better than Wilson, all we really need is a young receiver to develop as the 4th guy. I am thinking round 3 or later in a draft stocked with WR's. No sense taking one in the first two rounds as we have much higher needs.

And as you mentioned, Pollard can play in the slot or be a bigger factor early in the year with Gallup out.

He was suppised to be the guy this year before the season started.
