Pickens was a 2nd round pick who had significant behavioral issues. No serious observer called him "can't miss" or "generational".
Bateman was taken ~ #21 IIRC with minimal hype. No serious observer called him "can't miss" or "generational".
JSN (the Seattle guy) fell to about the same spot based on injury history and again, while a good prospect, no serious observer called him "can't miss" or "generational".
These guys aren't in the same league as MHJ, who is the consensus #1 non-QB in the draft, has a near-flawless scouting report, and HOF NFL bloodlines.
I'm as stingy as anyone in terms of trading up and even I can see the value there. It's not gonna happen so don't worry about it as he won't fall close enough for Poles to be tempted.
Cardinals are salivating over him, need a WR badly, and are already saying it would take 3 FRPs minimum to move them off #4. If by some miracle they pass, Chargers are taking him for sure.
Just like Joe Alt has a very solid floor at #7, I can't see MHJ getting past 5.
