I know most are down on Skyy right now. There are some very good arguments on both sides in this thread. I respect a lot of the opinions in here, we have some really smart guys that know football and are very good at evaluating players.
With that said, there are some exceptional people who see Skyy as an excellent WR in the making. Starting with Mr. Veach. Obviously Andy was sold on Skyy as well.
Personally, I really wanted Pickens! Big, Tall, Fast, Catches everything thrown his way and will fight for the ball. I love the idea of Patrick having this kind of WR to lean on when he has to throw up a 50/50 ball. We dont have a guy like that outside of Kelce. Andy has dealt with attitude guys before and I felt he could handle Pickens.
We had a shot at Pickens but chose to trade back knowing we could get Skyy and an extra pick. I didnt like it at the time but what does that say about their opinion of Skyy? I think in their evaluation he was the guy they wanted all along.
Also, Steve Smith Sr. absolutely Loves Skyy and called him the best WR in the draft. High praise from a guy like that. There are many opinions out there with similar comments. Sure they could be wrong but a LOT of people that evaluate players for a living think very highly of our young WR.
He will contribute to our offense in a big way, I wouldnt be surprised if its this year! Its hard to be patient but its coming!
