He's been awesome for the Seahawks, but the critiques that caused him to drop (stiffness, inability to run most routes effectively) are legit. He's just been in a situation where it hasn't mattered, and his ability to be dynamic on slants, posts, and flys has shined.

Which is why I've never barbecued the Chiefs for passing on him.
Now I will get at them a bit for passing an McLaurin because Scary Terry DOES fit everything we needed here. Though ultimately he'd have occupied a lot of the same space as Sammy at that time.
The Chiefs didn't 'miss' on that pick - they were targeting a very specific trait due to a very bizarre set of circumstances.
Mecole Hardman is a Chief because Brooke Pryor is a reckless and unprofessional shitweasel. That's it.
But/for all that, I still don't think Metcalf is a Chief for the very reasons you stated. But maybe McLaurin is...
