So if D.K. Metcalf is the next Calvin Johnson does that make Greedy Williams the next Deion Sanders?

Greedy completely shut down Metcalf this year.

 

I mean Revis shut down Smitty one game does that make him any less a hall of famer? Don't use one game or match up to define a player.

I get that a lot of people think he is raw, the route tree and so on... but I think route running can be learned fairly easily look at Samuel.. he wasn’t even a wr now he is aruguably the route runner on the team. And look at the tools he has to work with..

 

As fast or faster tha. Samuel, oh you wanna press him? Good luck with that.. manhandled. How many corners run 4.31 to keep up with him anyway? Add in being 6’2 228 with a 40 in leap who’s out jumping him? He caught everything. Show good 50/50 ball skills.. yes I have a man crush and his name is Metcalf.

We aren't taking him in the first if available.

Remember when David Boston swole up to such an absurd size and was out of the league shortly thereafter?

Thought the same thing. Boston had bigtime run ins with coaches, steroid suspension and growth hormones in the end. I know he's a different person but worthy of concern.

He is but that is after the best players are off the board will he get best player available. The team that is next in line and wants him will want high compensation in picks from us to offer a trade just to get Metcalf which we do not really have.

We are a BPA at a position of need kind of team. Metcalf has a huge ceiling but isn't ready out of the gate. Especially in route running which is a necessary skill in our offense which isn't easy to learn. I suspect he would be a willing blocker and would be an intriguing pick as a tight end/wide receiver if you can wait to develop him. Or have a more simplified offense where he can play right away. But with our holes we can't afford a luxury pick, we need a contributor/ possible starter now, not two years from now.

I'm always up for a beast of a wide receiver, especially beastly suspects who confirm what everyone is thinking by essentially having an outstanding combine. If he carries his pure "outstandingness" over to and through private workouts, then he must be in consideration, regardless.

We needed that when we drafted Shaq in the first round and Vern butler in the first round 2.

Won't be surprised if Falcons grab him

???Why, Falcons have Jones, Ridley Sanu and Hooper, plus similar sized holes on the OLine and DLine as the Panthers.  Falcons are taking a lineman or, possibly a corner, can't imagine they'd do that.

no one going to mention he ran a slower 3 cone drill than tom brady?

Including Brady's short shuttle. That's an Al Davis prospect who only needs to do Go routes.

Hopkins and Jarvis Landry also had similar cone times... Not that concerning just means hes not twitchy.

Revis is also a 7X Pro Bowl and 4X First Team All-Pro corner, him shutting down Smitty isn't exactly a knock on Smitty.

Greedy absolutely shutdown a guy who apparently just won the underwear olympics and is now being touted as the next Calvin Johnson.

I watched Metcalf well before his 40 time and there is absolutely nothing that sticks out about his play that screams All-Pro receiver. He's a straight line runner with very little route skills. Not to mention his drop rate is subpar to say the least.

Hakeem Butler will be a better player that can be had in the later rounds.
