Overall
Dimensional and physically powerful receiver. Good in the backfield, although there is room to grow in terms of route running. Pickens has enough speed to run away from a defender, but is primarily a power player. NFL teams may want his blocking skills, and the player's size will be useful in the red zone. The big question before the draft is whether the player has fully recovered from a serious knee injury. Read Also : How The NFL Draft Work.
