LOL.

Because that's about it for Metcalf coming out-and not much more now honestly. He is what he is, and that's huge and fast.



If you think any WR being considered to be drafted can't do that you're nuts.

I would rather take Logan Hall than Watson at 30. Change my mind.

I think it's high for either.

I like Hall though. He could be a really disruptive guy.

Oh my. Hardman has always been more straight line speed than anything else. Go back and look at his highlights. Watson has much better change of direction and acceleration out of breaks. He needs to clean up false steps and rounding off routes but he has the ability to fix that athletically. Hardman is more of a straight line speed guy.

Nasir adderley…. Oh my…. I remember guys being crazy about him. We should all be humble about picks. We all miss as much or more as we are right. Who has gotten the most hate for a pick or a position on a player?

I'd have to imagine that award is going to somebody for either Aaron Curry or Geno Smith. Take your pick.

[kcbubb]

Lol…. I liked curry too. Boy, was that a bad idea. But I think I might win the all time award for most hate for wanting to trade Justin Houston. That was brutal. I was new to chiefs planet and had no idea what I was in for.

I think taking some beatings has helped me learn a lot about the nfl…

That's a lot of ifs. Which is fine but not in the 1st for me.

My last big WR miss was Hakeem Butler. Incredible athleticism. I thought if he just...

Never happened.

Do you honestly think Christian Watson running those 4 routes will scare a defense the same as DK Metcalf?!

No, I think Watson has a lot more potential than just that.

I think his floor is Always Save Metcalf.

The thing about Metcalf is if he catches the ball running downfield you can't tackle the big sonofabitch. He's just huge.

I think Seattle uses him about as well as it can be done.

But don't act like he's some route running machine; he's a physical freak that can beat you with straight speed, and if he gets the ball he's hard to bring down for little DB's.

Well, since nobody can find your Nostradamus posts on previous WR drafts, I'm calling bullshit.

But I'm also not for Watson in the 1st. There are legit questions. In the second though? Sure. I'd take a shot at the potential.

[kcbubb]

He’ll be gone. He doesn’t make it past 40. He might go 28 with these wr contracts that are crazy. Again, think ziggy ansah & travon walker. Some of these picks are about the person and the potential. Watson is a good kid and a freak athlete. You’re betting he can be gadget guy year one while you coach him up.

My worst 2 have been:

Dontari Poe - HATED that pick. Absolutely ****ing hated it. Thought the guy was a 3rd round project.

Jon Baldwin - Pretty sure that was the same draft as Julio Jones and I was convinced we'd gotten the same player 20 spots later and without having to trade up.
