Pick plays in general are illegal, however, if the WR sells the route, it's fair game. Refs will flag pick plays if the the WR is obviously setting up a pick like basketball players do. The Packers bread & butter redzone and goal plays are pick plays. The Saints ran a pick play with a WR slant against the LB for the RB wheel to get loose. The Seahawks lost a Superbowl on a pick play.

You can block as a WR within 2-yards of the LOS in college I believe. In the pros I think it is 1 yard, but I may have those flipped.

It wasn't illegal at all.

I recall something about the pick has to be executed within 3 yards of the LOS for it to be legal. Not sure though.
