Absolutely. Pickens as a pure talent was an incredible prospect and I'd have him ahead of Odunze in this class.
And I still wish we had him. The talent's that loud. And good luck showing up Patrick ****ing Mahomes - that guy will eat your soul. I think it would've worked here far better than it's worked in Pittsburgh (and it hasn't gone THAT poorly in Pittsburgh).
But the headache is real. So the talent damn sure better be. Pickens was a top 15 talent but a guy with a reputation as being a pain in the ass. Burton is a top 50 talent and a similar reputation. If you're the 45th best prospect, is the juice still worth the squeeze?
Well that's the million dollar question, innit?
