he doesn't have anything he does at an off the charts elite level like pickens did.
In fairness, Pickens off the charts ability was making "impossible" catches. He probably made 5-6 of those while at Georgia. I'll take the WR that is on the field more and makes more routine catches regularly.
That said, the defense had to adjust whenever Pickens was in the game. I'm pretty excited about Mitchell, McConkey and the new guys we are getting in this year. I think they can be special as a unit.

I think the poster above that mentioned Terry Godwin as an AD comparison was spot on. Just a really good, really solid receiver that does everythign well. Catches just about everything, runs good routes, has plenty enough speed, can surprise you with an amazing catch here and there, etc. But Pickens just had that "extra" category. His catch radius was a mile and whenever the QB threw the ball towards whichever way pickens was running you got excited knowing he was probably gonna catch it. No matter how covered he was you just felt like he was gonna come down with it, and he pretty much did more times than not.
AD isn't that receiver. And that's not an insult or a knock on him at all. He just isn't as good of a receiver as pickens IMO, but to be fair we haven't had many in our entire history that have been either.
