My concern with Metcalf is similar to Hardman. He’s a GREAT deep threat and has elite speed…but struggles running routes that expose the defenses ability to defend the intermediate middle of the field with someone other than Kelce. I haven’t spent a lot of time the last couple seasons to see if he’s improved in that subsection of his position, but his combine change of direction numbers were poor, so I’m assuming he hasn’t improved greatly in that area.
The thought of DK running that jet sweep though….wow. Or even blocking for it.
I guess I think Cooper or Lockett being a better scheme fit. Or a few other guys that will be available that run crisp routes and are smart.
If we give up a first and third for DK, we better be getting a premium pick back.
