He lasted till the end of the 2nd round for reasons. DK being an elite receiver was a big surprise. Dude didn’t do much at Ole Miss. Hardman and DK both had pros and cons as prospects.

Obviously Veach was wrong but it wasn’t some obvious miss at the time. No front office in the NFL saw them as 1st rounders, which is why both were available in the 2nd

Dk Metcalfs con was his 3 cone, so people got all indignant about it...lets not factor in that a dude the size of a TE that runs faster than 99% of the league is probably gonna get open even if he doesn't cut super fast.

I may be wrong, but I think he also had injury concerns and barely any college production. Which makes you ask why a guy that big and fast can’t produce in college.

People thought a guy that big and fast couldn't figure out how to cut and turn left.

There have been plenty of athletic marvels who amounted to nothing in the NFL. Guy had little production at Ole Miss, so that pointed to him not being able to consistently get the most out of his physical talent

This always goes one of two ways

If he was drafted and bust, everyone laughs: “no stupid, you need skill, route running, and smarts to be a good WR, not just athleticism. He’s a track star not a football player!”

Then when the stud actually becomes an elite player: “This was so obvious. Dude is as big as an LB and runs like a gazelle. How could you not draft him in the 1st round?”
