[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 834213, member: 10086"] I partly agree and disagree. While I don’t think Metcalf will “light it up” by default, I think he had the ability to be effective if utilized in the right system. He needs to be the #2 perimeter receiver early on or he’s going to be surprised at how much faster and aggressive the game is played at the NFL level today. He also needs to have a more focused role and be with the right QB. I don’t think Russell is a perfect fit, but he does have the ability to scramble and has an above average arm. I believe a teams like GB would’ve been more ideal. GB because Rodgers is the master of buying time for Metcalf to break free past 20 yards, which is one key to his success. Also, Rodgers has a strong enough arm to hit him accurately 35+ yards down field on a scramble and Davante Adams would absolutely make opposing Defenses pay if they focused on Metcalf with dedicated Safety help or by using a #1 CB or combination thereof. I see Metcalf as a systematic threat. He’s fit to be paired with a receiver that’s universally dangerous (e.g, Davante). I don’t believe he’s a complete bust though. I think he would excel paired with a 1000 yard type capable, perimeter receiver. He’s a good pick at #64 overall. That’s a worthy area to grab a WR with upside, regardless if he turns into an average receiver. I would’ve been all over him in the 3rd round had he slipped any more. No way was he a top 15 grade pick. He’s too limited in scope and anything inside #32 overall was an anticipated reach. [/QUOTE]
