Never get tired of watching a WR get into the blocking assignments, and Pickens seems to just show up with these so often.

Pickett likes Pickens, and that's big for his Dynasty trajectiory, IMO.

Has he been getting targets at all depths?

One of the few smart things the Steelers have done on offense is stopping Pickens from running clear out routes, and actually using him at each level of the field.

He looks really good out there. Still hesitant to think hes a WR1 candidate in the near term, as this offense is pretty terrible at this point.

Agreed. Not a fantasy WR1 yet. But everything about him, from the eye test to the organization to his situation points that way. It's going to be fun to see him progress to that level.

I think it will be a year or two before he's expected to be a fantasy WR1. Diontae Johnson is there, and he's still really good.

But, he looks the part of a classic X receiver. He can separate at all three levels, beats press, makes the contested catch when necessary, be the possession receiver, and has the speed and athleticism on top.

It's only logical to say at this point, George Pickens is one of the top 2 WR's in the NFL.

Agreed. Him and Jesus Christ in a league of their own.

Maybe he's related to Carl Pickens.

Talent seems very obvious at this point. Potential monster once the Steelers are able to start consistently using him like a #1 X WR.
