Pickens showed out but only sporadically. He could definitely declare after 2021 but without recent playing time he would be a big gamble....I would think
You are crazy. Dude was easily going to be a top 20 NFL draft pick. There is no way in hell he’s coming back next year. There is no way in hell he drops that far if the rehab goes well. He was not sporadic either. He just wasn’t there some times because he was in trouble....which as a WR won’t ruin his stock

Good for you. You get 3.5 hours back every Saturday in the fall and can find something productive to do other than come to this website for the next year. As George Pickens said.... Bye

Before an ACL issue and with a productive 2021 Those are both off the table. That’s all I’m saying.

He was a really good prospect, but not “top 20 nfl draft sure thing” good.

Yes he was. Justyn Ross and Chris Olave are probably the only other two WRs in the country who are virtually locks to be first round picks in 2022.

Pickens is a great talent. He was always a concern from a head standpoint. He did some stupid stuff. Sometimes, that can be cancerous to the team. Not sure how he was as part of the team. I don’t see him as a leader or an asset outside of his skillset, so as much as losing his talent hurts, I don’t feel we are losing a leader. shite happens. Just happens to us more.

I agree.
What pickens does well, he is elite.
But that is basically 3 routes.
He has a loooong way to go to he a sure fire first rounder. The nfl prefers no questionmarks to be a top 15 draft pick and little to no issues on a first rounder.
Was i expecting pickens to improve in his 3rd season as an upperclassman? Absolutely. I expected him to work his way into the first round with JT looking his way. But that was based upon a projection of improvement (no different than saying that jamie newman had a chance to work his way into the first round at uga, but without uga he was a 4th rounder).

It’s okay that you overrate some dawgs nfl draft realities. You aren’t the only one.

Okay, so I googled some mock drafts....they have him anywhere from 5th overall to about 18th. Guess some other people that do this for a living every single year overate some Dawgs even more than me.
doesntknowjackshitdawg - You are seriously the biggest shite poster on here....which is quite the accomplishment considering your competition.

The flip side is some of those same mocks had Fromm going in the first round too.

And I had Fromm going in the 4th or 5th round...even with my overly rating Dawgs :gasp:

So was this before or after an ACL injury?
It’s not worth arguing over because I hope he does go that high when he leaves. I just think somebody would be taking a big chance with first round money on a receiver with no 2021 film coming off an ACL injury.

But you're using mock drafts to back up your point

The point that I’m not overly stating Dawgs draft positions.....yea. I think you need to go back and read properly

Your point was that he would easily be a top 20 draft pick and would still be a high draft pick. Then pointed out that mock drafts had him higher.

Nick Bosa missed damn near his entire junior season of college with a core muscle injury that required surgery and still was drafted #2 overall the next season.
Willis McGahee is probably a better example. Everyone remembers his horrific knee injury against Ohio State. 4 months later, he was drafted in the first round.
A torn ACL isn't the death sentence it used to be. Pickens has good deep speed, good hands, and an uncanny ability to high point a football. He has all of the physical ability that you could ever want from a WR and his tape matches his skills. He wasn't productive when Bennett was in the lineup because Bennett threw a lot more between the hashmarks and Pickens played on the outside. There's a reason that Kearis Jackson was so productive with Bennett in the lineup and his production dipped when Daniels took over.
He's had some maturity issues in the GT and Tennessee games, but he hasn't had any off field stuff that we know of since he's been at Georgia. I don't think this injury will hurt his draft stock much. It does take away his ability to boost his stock though. I would guess he'll get taken somewhere between 15 and 25 overall next year.

Wasn’t he internally suspended for some locker room stuff last year?
