Hot take here:


DK Metcalf is going to be a one trick pony in the NFL and won't be worth a first round pick in hindsight.

He was terrible at the cone and shuttle drills. Worse than Tom Brady. Those drills are probably more important than the 40. He's not a "fluid" athlete (although a physical freak), has slow hips, and runs poor routes.

quote:

Metcalf had a 3-cone drill of 7.38 seconds and a shuttle time of 4.5 seconds. As has been pointed out often since the weekend, Brady ran the 3-cone drill in 7.2 seconds and the shuttle in 4.38 seconds at the 2000 combine.


Despite his freakish speed/size/strength combo, he has average production and never showed the ability to get open against top DBs. Plus, he has an injury history that adds to these concerns.

AJ Brown is going to be a far better wide receiver in the league.


ETA:

Metcalf kind of reminds me of Taylor Mays but at a WR instead of safety. Huge, fast, strong physical specimen, but not an elite football player at the end of the day.

If he can make 2 catches for 70 yards and a TD in a game that team will be fine with him. If he's a better Ted Ginn and makes a career on that, then a team would be happy. Not Sure Ginn was worth a top 10 pick either, but he could return kicks as well as go deep

This was a pretty hot take

Metcalf has had a pretty good rookie season so far.

Set the rookie playoff game receiving yards with 160 yesterday

58 receptions
900 yards
7 TDs

Him and AJ Brown both surprising a lot of people I think
