West Coast timing based systems or offenses with a strong emphasis on intermediate routes and contested catches, prioritizing precise route running and strong hands.
Year 1: immediate contributor as a starting X-receiver with the ability to win jump balls and make tough catches; Ceiling: high-volume pass-catcher capable of being a team's primary receiving option.
Run-heavy offenses that primarily feature horizontal passing concepts and do not frequently challenge defenses vertically.
Pickens' combination of size, speed, and ball skills makes him an attractive option for schemes that value contested catch ability and a strong intermediate route tree.
Selected #52 overall in Round 2 of the 2022 NFL Draft by Pittsburgh Steelers out of Georgia.
