D.K. Metcalf**, WR, Ole Miss
Height: 6-3. Weight: 228. Arm: 34.88. Hand: 9.88.
40 Time: 4.33. Three Cone: 7.38.
Bench: 27. Vertical: 40.5. Broad: 11-2.
Projected Round (2019): 1-2.
4/23/19: Metcalf was the talk of the Friday sessions of the combine after he ripped off a devastating 40-yard dash in 4.33 seconds. On top of showing an elite combination of size and speed, the sculpted wideout did well in the field drills, catching the ball and showing off better-than-expected route-running. After his phenomenal workout, Metcalf looks like a secure first-round pick despite coming off a season-ending neck injury and not having much development in his route-running from college.
In 2018, Metcalf went out for the year with a neck injury after seven games. Prior to that, he was playing well, exploiting a lot of man coverage with teams focused on stopping A.J. Brown. Metcalf totaled 26 receptions for 569 yards and five touchdowns on the season. The big wideout has mismatch size and should be a red-zone weapon for the NFL. He should have returned to Ole Miss for 2019, but he decided to enter the 2019 NFL Draft. His medical exam and his route-running are going to be very important for his draft grade.
Metcalf is a love/hate prospect. Some team sources think he could be drafted in the No. 15-25 range, but others have him in Round 4 and don't think he has enough change-of-direction quickness and agility to be effective in the NFL.
The guy was rated as the #1 WR prospect in this draft on many boards. He's a big get for this franchise and will of course need time to develop. But the Seahawks went out and got the tall, deep threat, WR they needed. I like the pick and think we got him at a very nice spot there. He wouldn't of lasted the there in the 3rd, so we nailed it.
The next two names mentioned in that top 3 are Paris Campbell at 5-11" and Marquise Brown at 5-9". Harry went first, but he's about as explosive as a sloth. You want to talk about reaches. Patriots taking him with their 1st was a massive reach. That would be the time for Shartcycle and Snuggles to two fist bottles of midol if the Seahawks had used one of their 1st round picks on N'Keal Harry.
