You're listening to an IHeart podcast.

Welcome to NFL Daily, where we're standing by our evaluation of George Pickens in the draft

class in 2022.

I'm Greg Rosenthal.

I'm here with my friend John Ledyard from audibles and analytics.

We had a whole plan for today's show, and it was thrown out the window when we got some rare breaking news in May.

George Pickens to the Cowboys and no one I wanted to talk to more than John Ledyard.

What's going on, John?

Not too much, man.

I appreciate you having me always excited

and great to be able to talk some ball with you, especially a big Steelers trade. Not often that we,

well, more often lately that we get these involving Steelers, wide receivers. So it'll be fun to break

it down with you. Yes, it's been in my head that I overrated Pickens slightly. Had him second that year, I believe, behind Alave. You know, looking at

Garrett Wilson and Drake London, how they've done. That was probably not the right choice, but always

held out hope. And he's had a lot of production. You're talking to a Trailing Burke's widercy or

truth or so. Uh, feel the pain. Um, look, a pickens is at least having a good career relatively,

although you never want to get traded

for a future third round pick going into the fourth year of your career here's the trade okay

george pickens and a seventh round pick in 20 or sixth round pick in 2027 go to the cowboys they send

back a third round pick in next year's draft.

That's 2026 and a 2027 fifth round pick.

That last extra pick was interesting to me.
