Turns out, getting a first-round caliber wide receiver in middle of the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft is great value overall.
That’s exactly what the Pittsburgh Steelers did with former Georgia star George Pickens, who came off the board at No. 52 overall to the Steelers coming off of a season in which he tore his right ACL in March 2021 and then returned for the final four games of the Bulldogs’ National Championship run.
A little under a week removed from the 2022 NFL Draft, the praise continues to roll in for the selection of Pickens, this time from CBS Sports draft analyst Chris Trapasso, who called the selection of Pickens the Steelers’ best pick of the draft.
