The full breakdown

Pickens' 69.5 grade was primarily driven by a 73 receiving mark across 45 passing snaps, offset by neutral run-blocking duties on 19 plays. He was Dak Prescott's top target on critical downs, converting a 3rd & 10 at Q3 02:55 into a 19-yard explosive gain and powering through two tacklers on a 3rd & 8 at Q4 10:27 for 16 yards. He also flashed zone awareness on a 20-yard dig through contact at Q3 07:04. His grade was marginally weighed down by high snap neutrality and a late incompletion at Q4 00:23, where he failed to separate against Nate Wiggins' press on a goal-line fade.
