Shawn Siegele examines George Pickens in his All-the-Metrics series and explains why he still hopes the former Georgia star can emerge as the top WR from this class.
The 2022 wide receiver class isn’t going to give us the next Ja’Marr Chase or Justin Jefferson, but as many as nine WRs have been linked to Round 1. That doesn’t even cover all of the great sleepers lurking in Day 2 or a few of the Freak Score stars who could change NFL rosters on Day 3.
RotoViz subscribers know that we love to bludgeon opponents with a WR-heavy approach in redraft and best ball. Our dynasty rosters are built with a deep bench of receiver studs. Receivers win or lose dynasty leagues, and we have you covered from all angles.

And did the receiver post the type of on-field production that has historically led to NFL greatness?
