I promise you they'd both contribute day 1. You seem to forget how pathetic our edge rushers were for much of last season and how JAGgy our WR2 and WR3 were. We pretty much have those spots filled. Pickens has elite ability and all the makings of a legit #1, outside of some polishing on his routes. Beast on contested balls though.

I make no judgment in terms of either of these players. I've always thought Pickens looked extremely interesting as a super physical X receiver for this team.
I forget nothing about last season's WR and DE mediocrity. I was responding to your saying that what led us to Bolton and Humphrey is the key to this draft, and that couldn't be further from the truth.
End of the day I trust Veach and the process. But if we're through round 2 and don't have a DE and WR to be excited about, I'm genuinely frightened.
