2. George Pickens will be a great receiver at the next level, but will it be next season?

George Pickens is the exact type of player that the Atlanta Falcons must target in the draft if the Georgia Bulldogs receiver decides to take his talents to the next level. Coming off of a major injury Pickens has played very little football in the last year.

You have to go back to Georgia’s bowl game last year against Cincinnati to remember exactly how great Pickens could be. Pickens has the size and speed to translate his great production to the next level. If he opts to come out this season there is a great chance he will fly under the radar because of his injury history.

This would give Atlanta a chance to get a number one receiver at a bargain draft price later in the draft. Keeping an eye on Pickens and monitoring his draft stock if he declares for the draft is certainly on the Atlanta radar.

Pickens is a better option than anyone on the Falcons roster currently outside of Calvin Ridley, he is that talented.
