What I am hearing Pickens, might be our best deep threat in years!

Pickens averaged 15 yards per catch last season and has a career average of 16. Tyreek Hill's career average is 13. Yes, Hill isn't just a deep receiver, but it shows how much Pickens is successful stretching the field.

He has a tremendous catch radius, long arms, great hands where he can adjust to poor accurate passes. No, he isn't as freaky as Dez Bryant will the ball in the air, but he is darn good.

Isn't consider a great route runner, nor get much separation, but he comes down with all those 50/50 balls. Kindly of sounds like T-Mac in the draft, but with more speed.

Knows how to beat, physical press coverage and won't shy away from contact.

Certainly sounds like an ideal #2 WR who has the ability to stretch the field and keep defense's from loading the box.
 
I often told my Steelers fan friend. Pickens reminds me of Michael Irvin in certain ways.
No, I am not saying he will be. But he has that potential.

Maybe he’s our Alvin Harper
 
His ability on the field is of absolutely no question.

Hey if those 7th round DTs turn into instant studs then grabbing Pickens was certainly the right move.

He will either produce or open it up for others. Then you have to figure out how to replace that for 2026 because you can’t pay him and Lamb.
 
He’s basically prime Gallup on steroids. Agree!
His skill set fits well with Lamb, there is no denying his talent, the biggest question will be his character on and off the field. What I have heard his issues on more due to being very emotional and immature, but not a team cancer as he is well liked inside the locker room. Time will tell if this was a good move or not, rather take the chance then having Tolbert/Mingo out there and teams taking away Lamb
 
He’s an amazing contested ball receiver. High point it and he fights like crazy. Best we’ve had at that since Dezz

Against single man, he eats them up.

He’s the best possible type of receiver to pair with CeeDee
 
I hate to be the wet blanket but it is going to be so important now to be able to run the football. I just can’t get that home loss to the 49ers in the playoffs when Martin and Tyron got whooped. Amari and CeeDee were cooking for most of the season but we couldn’t run the ball so the 49ers only had like 6 in the box. Ferguson and Schoonmaker might be the key to the offense when we run the 12 personnel so you can’t just key on CeeDee and Pickens.

Michael was a team first motivator.....not sure that Pickens has ever shown that.

I'm willing to see how it plays out though because the talent is there

He reminds me more of Dez than he does Irvin. Still a big add to the offense.

They have put the most resources in fixing this area, not sold on Williams, but they should be better up front

This WR group, tight ends, and Blue make the passing attack for Dallas tough to try and handle, if that.
