My Guys: Sam Monson's top targets in the 2022 NFL Draft (3. WR GEORGE PICKENS, GEORGIA: There is growing talk that the things holding Pickens back are character concerns and maturity red flags, so he could still be drafted well below where his tape says he should. Pickens' tape ranks among the best in this class, and he has true No. 1 X-receiver potential — which isn’t everywhere in this year’s group of receivers. An ACL injury means we never got to see the full potential of where the 6-foot-3, 195-pounder could get to with another year of play under his belt, but he is a receiver with a first-round skill set who may slip in the draft. If a team has a strong support structure in place, he could be a steal.) (4-27-22): https://www.pff.com/news/draft-my-guys-top-picks-2022-nfl-draft-sam-monson
NFL Draft Bust Watch: Buyer beware with these five polarizing draft prospects (George Pickens, WR, Georgia - When your own college head coach is so fed up with your antics as a freshman that he blasts you as “selfish” and “undisciplined” after a game, it’s a concern. But when your behavior is still a significant issue three years later, it’s a red flag the size of a football field. George Pickens is talented as crazy, but there’s a reason he’s likely a second-round pick (at best). The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman got some damning anonymous quotes from NFL scouts and coaches, including one who said “I wouldn’t touch him” because of character concerns.)

Seven potential Round 1 surprises (George Pickens: If teams were drafting strictly off the tape, Pickens would be a good bet to go in Round 1, despite having just five catches in four games last season after returning from a torn right ACL suffered in spring practice. In 22 games over his first two years on campus, Pickens had 85 catches for 1,240 yards and 14 touchdowns, flashing the size (6-3 1/4, 195 pounds), speed (4.47 40) and ability of a true "X" receiver who can win one-on-one. There are concerns about Pickens' maturity and his willingness to follow the program. (Among other things, he was suspended for the first half of a game against Georgia Tech for violating team rules in 2019 and got into a fight in the second half of that game, sidelining him for the first half of the SEC Championship Game.) But it only takes one team to overlook all that and bet on Pickens' talent, which has drawn some comparisons to former Bulldogs star A.J. Green.)

The 2022 All-Juice Team: Terez Paylor's kind of guys in the NFL draft (WR George Pickens: The arrow is pointed back upward for Pickens, who has used a strong pre-draft process to remind people how special he looked as a freshman in 2019. Injuries marred his 2020 and 2021 seasons, but Pickens fought back to contribute a few deep balls in the Bulldogs’ championship run in January. He’s got some alpha bulldog in his play style, and in his temperament off the field, as Pickens was guilty of some immature moments in years past. But there’s some excitement for the player again, and there’s a feeling that Pickens has grown enough to harness his immense talent as a go-up-and-get-it playmaker.)

2022 NFL Draft Stock - Post-Combine VI (Down - George Pickens, WR, Georgia: Teams really like Pickens skill set given his intriguing combination of size, speed and athleticism. They also like the tape he generated from 2019, 2020, and the very brief action he played in 2021. Team interviews since, however, have not gone well for Pickens, which has dampened the enthusiasm for him among scouts and coaches. While Pickens could have been a late first-round candidate, the interviews may drop him well into Day 2 of the 2022 NFL Draft.) (4-19-22): https://walterfootball.com/draft2022stock_31.php
2022 NFL Draft wide receiver rankings: Another stacked class of pass catching talent (9. George Pickens, Georgia: If Pickens can stay healthy, he’s a problem. Unfortunately, his growth after a strong 2019 debut season has been stunted by injury; he’s missed 13 games the last two seasons and only made five catches in 2021. The torn ACL that kept him off the field last year is healed, but he was merely regular-fast at a Combine filled with blazers and his stock has dropped accordingly. But Pickens is a big target (6’3) who can beat press coverage along the sideline and snap off routes to create space downfield. He’ll need to work on adding a little more muscle without losing that quickness, but he can certainly be a difference maker at the next level.)

Treash: A look at the former five-star recruits in the 2022 NFL Draft (WR GEORGE PICKENS, GEORGIA BULLDOGS (247 Composite Rating: 24th, Draft Projection: Round 1-2): Pickens could go anywhere from the end of Round 1 to the middle of Round 2 despite the injuries that derailed his true sophomore (2019) and junior (2020) seasons. The Georgia receiver went from an 88.0 receiving grade in 2019 to a 71.9 mark in 2020 while dealing with a nagging upper-body injury. Matters got even worse before 2021, as he tore his ACL in the spring, limiting him to just 32 routes for the season. At his peak, Pickens looked like one of the most dominant receivers in the country. He showcased elite hands and routinely hauled in off-target throws with his massive catch radius. The 6-foot-3, 195-pounder dropped just two of 139 career targets at Georgia, so there’s no denying his exceptional ball skills. Along with his size, he has the physicality and acceleration teams want in an X receiver. His injury history is concerning, but it’s worth taking a shot on, given the potential reward.)

2022 NFL Draft: Buyer beware for these five prospects (George Pickens, WR, Georgia - Prior to sustaining a torn ACL in March of 2021, Pickens was a top-20 overall prospect in my personal rankings. He is still hovering in that range despite appearing in only four games this season. The Alabama native could have easily sat out the season in its entirety while healing but he elected to return and help his teammates win a national championship. Pickens had five receptions for 107 yards in those four games. More likely to be taken late in Round 1 or even into Day 2, the wide receiver may carry less risk relative to selection, but the state of his knee and limited production upon return could give teams pause.)

As a freshman back in 2019, he hauled in 49 passes without dropping a single one. He has only two drops on 92 catchable targets for his career — good enough for the lowest drop rate in the draft class. Pickens isn’t hauling in screens, either. His 15.4-yard career average depth of target is one of the highest marks in the class.) (4-8-22): https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2022-nfl-draft-wide-receiver-prospect-superlatives

2022 NFL draft: The top 16 receivers (6
George Pickens, Georgia (Height: 6’3″ (86th) Weight: 195 (36th), 40-Yard Dash: 4.47 seconds (59th), Vertical Jump: 33 inches (19th), Broad Jump: 10’5″ (76th)): Bio: A few years ago, George Pickens looked like a mortal lock for WR1 in his eventual draft class. After catching 69 passes for 1,368 yards and 16 touchdowns as a senior at Hoover High School in Hoover, Alabama, Pickens stepped into the starting lineup for the Georgia Bulldogs as a true freshman. What did he do that year? Catch 49 passes for 727 yards and eight touchdowns. However, the past two seasons have not been as kind to Pickens. His production was up-and-down in 2020, as he caught 36 passes for 513 yards and six touchdowns, and then tore his ACL during spring ball prior to the 2021 campaign. He managed to get back onto the field late in the year, and in four games caught five passes for 107 yards. Still, while it once seemed like Pickens was a lock for the first round, that appears to be very much in doubt. Stat to Know: Fun with sample sizes! Pickens averaged 21.4 yards per reception this season. Yes, on five catches… Strengths: Pickens is a master of late separation. He wins at the catch point, which is something he was doing as a true freshman against bigger and more physical SEC cornerbacks, but also has the ability to create a bit of space off his breaks with arm bars, shoulder nudges and by using his leverage and frame. But Pickens is much more than just a contested-catch receiver. He has the ability to separate from press-aligned defenders, and this is something that again he was doing as a true freshman in the SEC. Take this play from his freshman campaign. Facing a press-aligned defender shaded to the inside, Pickens uses a stutter-step off the line to stress his leverage, and then bursts along the boundary to separate on the vertical route for a touchdown. His catch radius shows up as well, whether working underneath, along the sideline or in the vertical passing game. Take this play from that game against Baylor, where Pickens was named the MVP of the Sugar Bowl. Again, you see the release off the line against a press-aligned defender, followed by an incredible adjustment to the football for a big play. Of course, you cannot discuss Pickens without mentioning how, coming back from his injury, he delivered the first big play of the National Championship game. This play highlights Pickens’ nuanced route-running as well as his ability to track the football in the vertical passing game. The cornerback sets up in press alignment with outside leverage, so Pickens releases to the inside as he pushes vertically. At the top of his stem, he flashes his eyes to the outside as he fakes in that direction, and the corner bites. That is all Pickens needs to push to the post and get separation, and he then tracks the football perfectly and extends for the confident catch, and the huge play early. Weaknesses: Those who remain convinced that the “best ability is availability” might have some concerns. Pickens is coming off the ACL injury, and also missed time in 2019 for a violation of team rules. He was also ejected from a game as a freshman for fighting. Pickens has the body type to be an X receiver at the next level, but might need to add some strength to handle the more physical corners he will see on Sundays. Conclusion: You do not step into the starting lineup as a receiver in the SEC as a true freshman and put up the numbers Pickens did if you are not a talented football player. Circumstances might have pushed Pickens down the board into the Day Two range, but an NFL team is going to be thankful for said circumstances. Comparison: I get a Tee Higgins vibe after studying Pickens’ college career.) (4-6-22): https://touchdownwire.usatoday.com/lists/2022-nfl-draft-drake-london-chris-olave-jameson-williams/
Is George Pickens Lions' Receiver of Future? (3-31-22): https://www.si.com/nfl/lions/news/is-george-pickens-lions-no-1-receiver-of-future
2022 NFL Draft: Ranking the top 17 WRs in this year’s class (George Pickens (Georgia), 6-foot-3, 195 pounds: Pickens is another prospect that has seen his stock rise recently and is even being linked to the Lions at the end of the first round in some mock drafts. It’s easy to see why. Pickens jumps out at you as a player that Dan Campbell and the Lions staff would love to get their hands on. He’s big, he’s athletic, and he’s got a mean streak to him when it comes to run blocking. After a dominant Freshman season in 2019, Pickens was considered by many as one of the best receivers in the country, but since then, injuries (torn pectoral muscle in 2020 and torn ACL in 2021) have taken a toll on him. Pickens has arguably the best ball skills in this entire class and an insane propensity for making highlight-reel catches. He would be an ideal fit as an outside receiver in a scheme that loves to throw the deep ball.

Pickens has the makings of an X receiver in the NFL, but a torn ACL in his right knee robbed him of most of his true junior season in 2021. Medicals will be key for Pickens, as the talent is there, but he needs to stay healthy and put on a show at his pro day.)

The leader for the Detroit Lions at No. 2, other observations coming out of 2022 NFL combine (Watch out for Pickens - Having said all that, I walked away from the combine with a crush on one receiver for Detroit: Georgia’s George Pickens.He’s a 6-foot-3 X-receiver who would be a first-round lock if he kept playing like he did as a true freshman. Problem is he also was suspended for a violation of team rules that year, plus got kicked out of a game against Georgia Tech for fighting, which also forced him to miss the first half of the SEC championship game against LSU. Then last year, he blew out his ACL in the spring and played just 35 snaps. Yet that was enough for Pickens to deliver two of the best catches in college football, including this 52-yarder in the national title game against Alabama. The guy is just a freak down the field, with a massive catch radius. Plus he delivered this block against Michigan in the national semifinal, which put Dax Hill -- who will be playing on Sundays next season -- on his hind parts. Then Pickens turned toward the Wolverines’ sideline, and told them to quiet down. “I’ve always been physical,” Pickens said. “That’s one of the things I can also add to my game besides pass catching and besides going deep. Blocking is for sure one of the things I pride myself on.” The Lions need a guy to go deep. And based on the kinds of guys they’ve tried to bring in over the last year, they probably would prefer a guy with some attitude too. Guys like Penei Sewell, who just went toe-to-toe with Aaron Donald last season. Guys like Amon-Ra St. Brown, who started a fight on the first day of padded practice last year -- and was cheered on by Dan Campbell for it. I couldn’t help but think about all that while listening to Pickens speak at his pre-combine press conference. That sent me back to the film, which is extraordinary. His ball skills and catch radius are off the charts. The ACL is of course a concern, although based on his performance at the combine -- where he ripped the 40-yard dash in 4.47 seconds -- he proved a lot about his health as well. The fight from his freshman year will be a red flag for some clubs too, especially since it cost him the first half of the SEC title game. But here’s betting it won’t be a red flag for Dan Campbell.)

5 Players Lions Should Watch in Orange Bowl (5. WR #1 George Pickens (Georgia): The 2020 Sugar Bowl MVP is the biggest wild card of this game, and he will be one of the biggest wildcards in the NFL Draft. Once thought to be a first-rounder, Pickens tore his ACL nine months ago. He has battled back, and he can really help himself with a big-time showing. After going back and watching every throw he was targeted on in 2020, the big question is whether he still has the ability to make the sudden moves he used to make before the injury. Does he still have the explosive burst after the catch? These are the things the scouts will be watching for.)

NFL Draft 2022: Five potential first-round picks to watch (George Pickens, WR, Georgia
6-foot-3, 200 pounds, Redshirt Sophomore: Given that he is an underclassman and has yet to play a single snap this season after tearing the ACL in his right knee this spring, Pickens is perhaps the biggest wild card on this list. Make no mistake about his talent warranting inclusion, however. This young Dawg is the most gifted player on the list, with the prototypical blend of size, speed, body control and hands to live up to his famous father’s (Carl Pickens) success in the NFL. Pickens signed with Georgia as one of the most highly touted freshmen at any position three years ago and was an immediate hit, leading the Bulldogs in receptions (49), receiving yards (727) and touchdown grabs (eight). Although limited to just eight games last season, Pickens was on pace for similar production, despite being the focus of every opposing secondary coach. He tied for the team lead in receptions (36), totaling 513 yards, and hauled in twice as many touchdowns (six) as any other Georgia pass-catcher. Georgia coach Kirby Smart provided an update on his prized receiver this past week, relaying that while Pickens has yet to officially return to practice, he has "come a long way" and will be meeting "very soon" with renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews. Given that every player on their potentially historic defense might be drafted, the top-ranked Bulldogs hardly look like a squad that needs even more talent. Should Pickens be able to return and prove his health this season, however, it should surprise no one if he makes the early jump to the pros. This is especially true given how easily the game seems to come to him, along with the sobering fact that the injury might have reminded him how quickly it can be taken away.)
