George Pickens Fit Insight
- George Pickens offers superstar talent with big-play ability but concerns about consistency and maturity remain.

- Cowboys' offense could mirror 1990s style with Pickens stretching defenses and Lamb exploiting underneath.
- Their two-man routes will challenge defenses due to Pickens' speed and Lamb's craftiness.
