3 years agoThe Pittsburgh Steelers used 2022 second-round draft capital to select University of Georgia wide receiver George Pickens. The 21-year-old wideout was not seen for much of the Bulldogs; 2021 National Championship season, but he did make several clutch receptions against Alabama once during the SEC Championship game and another 52-yard haul in the National Title rematch. Pickens' burst, speed, and route running make him a force to be reckoned with at the line of scrimmage, while his strength and sure hands allow him to be a continuous presence in the red zone. A torn ACL forced Pickens to miss most of his junior season, but he returned to contribute in clutch moments and recorded an official 4.47 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine. Expect Pickens to quickly ascend into the WR3 role for the Steelers behind Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool. It's going to be a talented trio of wideouts for Mitch Trubisky or rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett to rely on throughout the season. Pickens is currently the WR72 and has a 160 ADP, meaning fantasy managers can wait to draft him until the 14th round or later. Additionally, a touchdown drought in 2021 obscures the 14 touchdowns Pickens recorded during his first two seasons with the Bulldogs. He will be a smash at his current ADP, as most of Pittsburgh's receiving options are vastly underrated heading into redraft and best ball tournaments.--Matt MacKay - RotoBaller
