Metcalf was a measurables guy that wasn't all that great at Ole Miss. Might want to take yourself a gander at his collegiate production, which wasn't much better than Hardman's.
The same goes for McLaurin, who had limited college production and a fast 40 time, on par with Metcalf.
Not a single one of these guys really popped off the page. You can't just sit here now and say "see these guys were on the board!" Hardman turned out to be the worst out of a fairly shitty-looking group of receivers, that all turned out to be pretty good players in the NFL.
It's kind of like having yourself a handful of Christian Watson's to pick from and you just so happen to pick the one guy that's really solid in his role but not a really good outside WR.

I had both DK and McLaurin as 1st round talents.
DK was oversold by some as going top ten. I thought he should go in the 20s. Limited route tree but 4 NFL elite ready routes.
Compared Terry to a bigger TY Hilton.
I didn't rank Diontae in a round but loved the player. He had that it factor and was my MAC breakout guy.
