There is no reason why a talented kid like Metcalf should be relegated to WR. He can serve a purpose and that position is CB. Trust me...I know. I love it and support this decision. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExWNYer Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 3 hours ago, Dr. Who said: Hey, let's move up and draft Josh Allen, then let's have the edge rusher play qb and the qb play de. Better yet, convert the new Josh Allen to QB and have him battle it out with last year's model of Josh Allen for the starter's job. The loser of the competition then becomes the backup QB. If the starter gets hurt then they never miss a beat because Josh Allen takes over for Josh Allen. Beane does it again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Wow. This is a truly insane idea. Metcalf is raw as a WR and he's been playing that position a long time. And you think a position switch is the best idea on how to use him, a position that uses a completely different skill set and is on the opposite side of the ball? 4 hours ago, TigerJ said: Three words: Three cone drill. As a wide receiver with size and deep speed, Metcalf can get away with not having the shiftiest feet in the world. He can be effective on deep routes by running away from slower CBs, and with his size and strength he can outfight DBs on contested balls. But it is even more important for CBs to have superior change of direction skills and quickness than for WRs. A shifty WR will leave DK Metcalf in the dust. Which is why most CB's are smaller. They are generally more quick and can change direction quickly. Harder for taller, more lanky athletes to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan_34 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 9 hours ago, BringBackFergy said: OP is correct and it takes some balls to project Metcalf as a CB. Scouts and GM’s are gun shy on his three cone numbers but matching him up with the Goodwins, Browns and Tyreek Hills of the league as a cover corner is not a bad idea at all. What all you disciples fail to understand is “versatility” means you place an athlete in the best position to succeed. Laugh all you want but an underperforming speedster WR who is tall and fast is a CB island I’d like to have (or maybe you didn’t notice we acquired an OT who decided to become a TE). So you are saying 99 percent of this board is wrong on their assessment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transient Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Given McDermott’s ability to coach up DBs I don’t think this is such a bad idea. We’re going to need someone to replace Tre when he’s hired to the Sabres coaching staff. Also, converting a 1st rd WR to a CB saves them the criticism of drafting another CB in the first round until training camp starts, which I’m sure has to be a huge consideration for them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrbojanglezs Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Yes lets draft the guy that has straight line speed but can't change directions to play a position that requires you to change directions even more than WR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forward Progress Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 If I'm going to draft a player who I think would perform at a higher level in another position, I'm going to risk a late round pick, where I hope to get a first round CB talent with a fifth round WR pick. There is no way that I will gamble a first round pick on a player and move him to another position with the expectation that he will contribute at a very high level during his rookie contract.

Bookie Man Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 If I was an NFL player, I'd try and increase my value and also be a punter. I mean pretty much all NFL players are physically freaks, I'm sure after working on form and flexibility they could punt just as well or better than some guys out there. Plus it'd free up a roster spot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Allen is a QB with a strong arm. We'd be wasting his talents there. It's not like baseball where you can easily play offense and defense. He might make a good LB, but it's just not worth the risk of injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
