BuschWack 57 Posted November 21, 2023 Just wanted to get opinions on Pickens' numbers going forward after the firing of Canada. Will the play calling of Mike Sullivan boost his numbers? Any homer opinions would be appreciated. I've had an offer for Calvin Ridley from the Pickens owner and may/or may not bite. Heaven knows Ridley's had his ups and downs. I also own Jaguars - Christian Kirk and rolling out both Jaguars WR has some wear. Perhaps the Steelers will force the pass going forward.. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BuschWack 57 Posted November 21, 2023 I could convince myself, that Pickens will have a boost rest of way with the play calling being handled by Mike Sullivan. I need calmer voices to bring me back to earth. Or do I? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike FF Today 670 Posted November 21, 2023 I moved Pickens down a bit (44 overall) in our Rest of the Way Rankings. I've got Ridley in the tier above him at #39. I'd lean slightly towards Ridley, given the Jags passing game is better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monitoring how Mike Sullivan's play calling may change things.. but Pickett isn't Trevor Lawrence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nobody 2,277 Posted November 21, 2023 Looking at Sullivan's brief stints as OC for the bucs and giants, I don't see a lot to like. He does seem to let his QB cut it loose though. The problem with Pickens is he has a limited route tree. If we're looking at OBJ's success, his bread and butter is running slants and working from the slot. That would be more of Diontae's forte.
