The one draft analysis of him made it sound like he was tailor made for Allen. He will need the right offence to be any good. He isnt a guy who can be plugged into just any offence and be good I would have taken him in the third even if all they did this year was tell him to run straight. Eventually he’s going to burn that RB and catch a bomb. With Buffalo’s WR signings I actually thought D.K. would be perfect here. Could ease him in through a few plays a game. Have him take over more of the load next year or the year after. I’m really disappointed he isn’t a Bill but time will tell.

I think Beane looked at who was available in the draft and felt the team already had players who possessed that skill set. He didn’t waste a pick on a player he knew wouldn’t have a great chance to separate himself from the others. Another sign Beane knew better than us what was going on. Just because Beane didn’t draft a WR does not mean that he knows better than us or anyone else. It is just the choice he made. i think this was a decent WR class. As we saw only a few 1st round talents but a ton of potential. Guys like Butler in the 4th or Harmon in the 6th, just to name a few. I would have took a shot at one of those guys.

Its what you do after the route that gets you targets sometimes.

And then you follow it up by calling this a decent WR class? I think..... wow. Edited April 29, 2019 by Jumpsuit Jim 7 1

We fans get emotionally attached to a player or a position group and would have the team pass on better players just to satisfy our emotional desire. Fortunately Beane didn’t listen to us. 4

It’s not like D.K. didn’t produce when not injured. DK was already gone. He went the last pick of the 2nd round. Maybe the Bills would have taken him in the 3rd too. RB shouldn't even be in the conversation since he was taken 10 picks later... 3
Heavy Kevi Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 I wanted Metcalf, and would have been happy with him in rd2, especially without trading up. I have always understood he has a high "bust factor", but his ceiling is just so freakin' high. Because of his size/speed, if he could clean up his release and work on catching with his hands he has a chance to be top 3 in the league. I know it's a long shot, but he seems like the WR version of Allen. At this point, I understand Beane's route, and am ok with who he drafted. He does know worlds more than I do when it comes to football, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at least a little worried about DK becoming a marquee player that we passed on.

We have a lot of guys that can get hurt and drop passes. We don’t need another with a second round price. He wasn’t even the best receiver on his college team. Every team with a pick passed on the guy. That should tell us something. 1
Rc2catch Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 I can’t believe this guys still being talked about this much on here, receiver was not a huge need and definitely not as much as some make it out to be. D.K. might very well turn into a great receiver but they just didn’t want him. Doesn’t make it a bad decision, we’re already breaking in a ton of new players on offense. If they feel we’re a receiver away from a serious run I’m sure Beane will pay the price to get one. The team is setup nicely, to the point they can spend a lot of draft capital and make a huge move if they need to or someone becomes available. This season is not going to make or break on a rookie receiver 4
qwksilver Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 Had Al Davis been alive DK would have been drafted at 4. I wish him all the best, maybe we see him in an upcoming superbowl. 1
HOUSE Posted April 29, 2019 Author Posted April 29, 2019 The DK hype was created by an agent that sold him on media exposure. That can be expensive. It simply did not work. The fans around the league were in love but the GMs were unimpressed. I believe DK appeared at 25 or more private workouts. Maybe he should have stayed at home 1

buffalostu2 Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 Hyped or not, sounds like this guy doesn't even get a chance to prove himself to this board. Just because he is not a Bill I am guessing. This is exactly how Josh Allen was treated last year Not one mention of Sills either. Did anyone pay attention past the 3rd round? Sills led the nation in TDs over the last two years. 1

akm0404 Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 Fans always are tempted to reach on WRs in part because most of them interact with the league mostly through fantasy football. People love to draft players from their favorite team, and selecting DK Metcalf would give them a chance to make the magic happen. 2

If he proves himself, lots of us will say “good for him, he didn’t break his neck again” or “good for him, as a 6’3 230 4.3 WR he actually produced”. Hes is a funny joke on this board. Laugh along with it. He isn’t reading this. He doesn’t give a ****. He doesn’t know this board exists. We aren’t on first take ripping him. 2
