familykwi Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I don't think he'd have the same productivity with Josh that he has with Wilson. We would not be singing his praises the same way as a result. That said, he'd be a nice toy to play with. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I still won’t apologize. We are one year in and he has Russel Wilson throwing him the rock. He’s better than advertised as far as only running straight line routes but come on it’s Russel Wilson. Everyone is open during his scramble drills. Seattle was the best possible landing spot in the world for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsPride12 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 The craziest part about it to me is everything I have read and seen on the kid he totally seems like a McDermott process guy. I think even back then they knew they would be going after a WR in this upcoming draft.

Blank Stare Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Classic case of teams overthinking it. I was a DK fan and was hoping he’d be the pick in rd 2. When he wasn’t, I was praying he’d drop to our third rd selection, but alas it wasn’t meant to be. Glad we got Singletary though. And Knox, although I wish we’d stop trading up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at all the targets Duke gets when he plays. And if this is a swipe at Allen, Brown went over 1,000 yards with Allen throwing to him. So I suspect that Metcalf would have exploded, especially in the 2nd half of the season, had we taken him in the 2nd round last draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes with the territory. But with that being said, bean & McD are going to have to be willing to spend a 1st or 2nd round pick on an offensive skill player - something they seem reluctant to do. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan in Chicago Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I know this thread is about Metcalf but even if you assume that Beane did not see the value, it does not excuse adding more talent at the receiving position. Emmanuel Sanders was available in the middle of the season. He could be had and yet we did not try/outbid the 49ers. He would have been a great vet presence on and off the field for a young QB. There was no excuse not to get him 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 During the game they also mentioned that Metcalf was very undisciplined early in the season when it came to route running. That doesn't sound like a good match with Allen. Alot different too when you have Russell Wilson throwing you the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem Josh had with Duke was getting the ball to stick to his hands. Saying DK wouldn’t have been productive here is a stretch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsbackto81 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I really like Josh but I'll admit when you have accuracy issues as a QB a WR with height, size and hands is a best friend in waiting. DK would've been a great fit and I'm sure McBeane won't make the same mistake this off season. You have to be Brees/Rodgers accurate when you have smallish receivers like Smoke and Sauce.

0017 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I still want Bryant Johnson Mia culpa.? but seriously DK would be awesome and I can’t help but watch him play and think it would be awesome to watch Josh throw it ten yards over his head?

Doc Brown Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Besides Ford I'm very happy with our other picks in the first five rounds (Oliver, Singletary, Knox, Joseph). It's really hard to knock all your picks out of the park. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
