Routes like slants, post, curls, goes, etc don’t require that much lateral ability. He can defeat the jam. Use him like Calvin Johnson, Calvin didn’t run an extensive route tree but he dominated. Calvin didn’t even participate in the 3 cone so it’s possible his time was slow as well. But like I said its definitely other WRs I’d take over him but if used right I believe he can succeed in the league. If we took him I wouldn’t be excited or mad just because this is a defensive draft all around. Calvin could run the route tree though, I remember watching his highlights on NFL too 100 the year he had 1900 plus receiving yards & Steve Smith was saying the thing that impressed him more about Calvin is he could run routes like a small receiver he could sink his hips plant & cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariota615TN Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 https://thedraftnetwork.com/prospect-rankings Interesting how they rank Brian Burns ahead of Josh Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariota615TN Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Also, just want to say, Montez Sweat being there at 19 is not unrealistic at all. JROB will have a tough decision to make with possibly Wilkins, Sweat, and Burns on the board at 19. And, the last thing I want is the Colts grabbing 1 of these 3 guys.

ragevsuall17 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Metcalf caught 26 passes last year... On a team that averaged 365 passing yards per game. He totalled 67/1228/14 in 3 seasons, on teams that averaged over 300 passing yards per he each of those seasons (about 330 per game). Where's the production? Why would anyone expect that straighlime speed to suddenly transform him against increased competition? Maybe it has to do that he's easy to defend since he can only do 1 or two things. Even during his best season, he averaged just over 3 catches per game, had a catch rate under 50%, and had an under 17% target share. What kinda production jump can we really expect? And of course, there always this (I'll share this 100 times if I can) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariota615TN Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Metcalf has BUST written all over him. Gosh I hope JROB stands clear. Deebo Samuel or AJ Brown are my top 2 choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I wouldn’t touch him unless he dropped to the 3rd round & we address pass rusher & OL 🤷🏽♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he falls just a little from the heart thing, definitely not unrealistic. I would discount Burns from that discussion, but a choice between Sweat and Wilkins would be tough indeed. I'd be psyched to have either one on the team. 1 hour ago, Mariota615TN said: Metcalf has BUST written all over him. Gosh I hope JROB stands clear. Deebo Samuel or AJ Brown are my top 2 choices. I didn't realize we were mind melding. N'Keal Harry your number 3? I'm glad to see all the Metcalf hate here. Seems like the rest of the forum is drinking the Kool-Aid on him.

Id personally choose AJ or N’keal over him, But a one trick pony can do damage in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Harry but to me he’s a possession receiver, we have that in Davis & Tajae. We need explosive guys that can stretch the field vertically & horizontally & be a mismatch in space.

For explosive guys, I'd think we're looking in an AJ Brown, Parris Campbell, Marquise Brown, or Deebo. AJ Brown is the best of the bunch, and a true No. 1 receiver IMO, but he won't make it to round 2. Marquise probably doesn't either. Campbell and Samuel are probably the best we can hope for there.

Mariota615TN Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 As deep as this draft is, I would rather come away with 3 picks total than 6-7 picks. We need impact players if we are going to overtake the Colts. Let’s face it, they are going to “hit” on at least 2-3 of their many picks, and we better have a response.
