Check again the only thing he set a record for was fastest 40 for a player over 225 lbs.

 

The only thing he was best at his own combine was most bench presses.

 

He had the 30th 20 yard shuttle and 27th 3 cone drill which called into question his agility along with a neck injury in college.

 

He wasnt the can't miss prospect you are smugly declaring him to be.  

 

Like he said, a lot of stupid people in the world.

Them winning super bowls was exactly my point.  You said you would fire scouts who discounted metcalf for his agility score.  I used the chiefs and eagles because they didnt just choose another position they prioritized the position then chose a different wr than metcalf who are much worse than metcalf.  Jjaw who the eagles took is every bit as bad as cody ford.

 

Taking metcalf over ford was clearly the right choice but thats not at all what was being discussed. Metcalf being some cant miss prospect was.

 

Also are you arguing prioritizing the wr position over building the oline?  I disagree with that take if so.  This year is a good example of that.  I think the Bills will benefit more fixing the o line as opposed to finding a wr2.  The chiefs have a worse wr room than the bills imo. 

 

If the Bills had made it to a single SB over that time span, your point about how the scouts helped build those 3 teams might make a tiny bit of sense.  Also, they did pick WRs, not some bum O-lineman.  They may not have hit on those particular pocks, but that's ok......because they still won SBs.  

 

Come on...

 

Yeah, 3 years later, the Bills have a ton of needs on Offense.   WR is definitely 1.  O-line too.  Maybe Beane and his scouts will have an epiphany.  Or maybe they will just grab a few more AJ Epensa's, Boogie Bashams, etc....

This is horrendous revisionist history. DK was literally the talk of the draft/ combine that year, all you hand to do is Google DK Metcalf combine to get all the articles drooling over him. 6'3" 228 jacked monster at WR with 4.33 speed, 27 reps. 40+ vert is absolute insanity and one of the best showings ever for a WR. He absolutely tanked the shuttle and 3 come which he got laughed at for with people saying he doesn't know how to turn. 

 

They reason he fell so far in the draft was a bad neck injury his final year in college... the dude fractured his neck and he was actually told he would never play football again, a second opinion told him he could have a surgery that would allow him to play again. He went straight into the draft didn't play another college game.

Was the rim at this game double the normal height. This is clearly fake. 

 

Edit- just watched his dunks. While impressive they weren't anything close to this video

i had to re-watch the video.  You're correct, clearly fake.

It's his overall measurables that are absolutely off the charts which made him comparable and arguably better prospect than Julio Jones who was the #6 overall pick in his draft and that was considered him sliding and Atlanta traded up for him as a result. For the Bills, who didn't have Diggs at the time, to pass on Metcalf twice was completely unfathomable. Every NFL fan knew it at the time and it's still true today.

Not just the Bills… every team. The Seahawks passed on him twice before selecting him lol. LJ Collier and Marquise Blair. 

 

This wasn’t a slam dunk like you’re making it out to be.

It was and it's a case of GM's overthinking it. Every year there is someone where fans are like omg how is this guy still available and then of course that guy goes on to be a star. It's just football, pick the best football player

Great measurables, injury concern, and not enough college production is exactly what NFL busts are made of.  He was the clear third option at Ole Miss and his stats reflect that.   How do you reconcile can't miss NFL star with 9th WR off the board?

It was not a slam dunk. A neck fracture is an enormous risk… in the event something goes wrong and he can’t play… you’re likely the same guy on here saying “Why would they take a guy when there were serious injury questions?”
 

Those are legitimate things you need to weigh as a GM… and every team viewed it pretty similar. This isn’t Madden with injuries turned off.

The answer is hindsight.

Even with hindsight, I am still taking Deebo Samuel and AJ Brown before Metcalf.

 

There is a LOT to second guess from every GM in the 2019 draft.

Regardless of whether the vid is a fake, when you're 6'4" and weight 225 lb. and you have a 40.5" vertical, that's scary.

That’s the running joke in the league and something I believe Lockett from the Seahawks had issue with. These tests aren’t all that random, they most often follow a great performance. I’m surprised Gabe Davis wasn’t “randomly” drug tested after his 4 TD playoff performance last year.

From what I was just reading, offseason tests arent random.

 

Quote

Offseason tests aren't part of the random testing protocol. So this wasn't remotely random. From the PES Policy summary from the NFL:

 

Players under contract who are not otherwise subject to reasonable cause testing may be tested during the off-season months at the discretion of the Independent Administrator, subject to the collectively bargained maximum of six (including blood tests) off-season tests.

 

Random testing during the season is done by computer and despite what the other guy said is actually random. It creates the massive number of coincidences because they test 10 people from each team every week, which means that you're going to hit a LOT of players after great games.
