Can you go all or nothing when your reputation was always trash to begin with?

Twitter guy pretending to be an insider. Might have been a blind squirrel on a nut once so he has some kind of twitter following

You were big Tee Higgins fan as well if I recall correctly.  How to you think Pickens compares? 

I like Pickens.  He has great hands (albiet kind of small), hand eye coordination and catch radius.

He is always falling down though on a lot of his catches.  Maybe because Fromm was all over the place lol.  Don't see as much YAC ability which kind of worries me.  And his frame, injury history are also concerns.  I think that is why is he is 2nd round prospect.

Yes I was. I tried to tell everyone Higgins had underrated speed. Which he did, but his size helped quite a bit at being a deep threat. Higgins timed in the low 4.5s iirc. I believed his top speed was far greater than his 40 time suggested.

Pickens probably is comparable at top speed imo, but he is noticeably more explosive both off the line and timed better on the 40, probably because of that. Hes also noticeably quicker laterally in and out of his breaks.  Higgins was quick enough on in or out breaking routes because DBs gave him a huge cushion (they respected his speed that nobody believed he had) and he could test them with a vertical stem and snap it off quickly enough where they couldnt close in time. But theres a different level of quickness Pickens has when you can actually beat a guy who is right on you trying to mirror you. When that big cushion isnt there at the line, and you create that space with your quickness. 

Both really good run blocking. I remember a few plays where Higgins blocked guys and sustained it and drove them way down the field. One in particular where he literally blocked a guy right out through the end zone. Pickens on the other hand, will plant guys. The Daxton Hill play has been shown in here, but that wasnt the only time he did it.

 Pickens is not as tall of course, but quicker and more explosive. Maybe more physical even if its more a mentality than actual physical strength. He has a mean streak which is awesome.

Here is a really excellent video touching on a lot of the RBs.

 

He and I seem to see RBs exactly the same way. But there were a few things that opened my eyes. I never heard of Pacheco who looks awesome for a late rounder. And the Baylor RB looks way nicer than I realized. I didnt know he had that speed. I think I read a scouting report on him and had no interest in ever watching him based on that. 

And what incredible timing this is. 1 hour ago this Isaiah Pacheco video was released.

 

First real mock...kinda lost in the mid rounds.

And hopefully your last.

Kidding aside, I think your draft is the exact kind that Howie would have.

Looking at Higgins was what made me really alarmed with Lawrence's lack of progress.

I keep forgetting we need to draft a Center. Any good prospects in the later rounds?
