DK Metcalf

Is very simple, let me ask you this, who were his WRs in Atlanta?

Julio Jones - 6'3", 220lbs
Mohamad Sanu - 6'2", 210lbs

I will say this too, if you put both Julio and Sanu into our WR corps, I will guarantee you it will improve our passing offense dramatically in no time.

time out...you said you like 6-3 WRs so Sanu is poo. I mean I can't imagine how much you'd hate Hopkins in SF either... we'd be so bad and wouldn't be able to score TDs with him

I think we should load up on offense in this draft. Specifically, WR and OL. Our defense doesn't suck that bad but our scoring on offense does. GB drafted 3 WRs last year and they look to be promising next year. We need some fire power to force opponents to either play safe or make mistakes so our defense looks better. WR's are at least a one year project. We need to start loading up so they are primed and ready for our 3 year playoff window.

What team were you watching?

You need to go and re-read what I said. I said my ideal size is 6'4", but 6'2" and above is OK.

Not to say smaller WRs won't be able to score TDs, but they definitely lack the versatility required to be able to handle jump balls and double-teaming consistently and successfully. Plus smaller guys usually can't handle hits as well as larger wideouts. Is just simple physics.

Correct me if in wrong rascal, but you MUST be the Leonard Fournette guy.

I can say, with absolute confidence, that shanny doesnt look at prospects and say "nope, not skinny enough." I cant say with confidence that you dont look at prospects and say "sucks ass, but 6'4". Checks all of my boxes!"

Dude you said to me 6-3 and more...False on the big WR can handle more hits. Julio is banged up all the damn time/Jeffery is hurt all the time. Physics also show there's more person there to be hit than a small shifty guy.

I mean DK has been injured most of his college career

NFL Film's Greg Cosell said Ole Miss WR D.K. Metcalf is "a straight-line player at this point in his career."

"He's not the type to come out of breaks cleanly," Cosell continued. These concerns were confirmed at the NFL Scouting Combine when he posted a slower 3-cone time than Tom Brady. With that being said, Metcalf was an explosive player in college (13.9 YPT), consistently beating off-coverage with his 4.33 speed. After becoming the fastest 225-plus pound player at the Combine since at least 2003, Metcalf is projected as the top wide receiver in the 2019 NFL Draft.

He needs to be in a vertical passing offense. Straight up chuck and duck like what Arians runs in Tampa.

Bad 3 cone? Kyle does not want. I've been watching some of the routes required in this offense and there are a bunch of little pivots and turns and double moves that require body control and explosion in and out of breaks.

LMFAO!!!!

AJ Brown is the better WR coming out of Ole Miss...not as tall as Metcalf, but creates separation, which is what Shanahan's looking for. Brown is a more polished route runner...and arguably can make an impact in the NFL sooner than Metcalf, IMHO.
