I think hoping for immediate significance from Metcalf was always a bit too optimistic and you can call me crazy - but I think he would have benefited more from not being thrust into an every down starter role.

When he does not perform well now in year one - he will be chastised. Rightfully so or not. It can be damaging and challenging to a young kid's resolve.

Hard to buy that. Seattle was well aware of Baldwin and moved up for him. Not sure about targets just yet but 5-8 TD’s and 15 yards per catch are a very real possibility with Wilson.

Seattle does not have much after Lockett.

He will most likely start week 1 like every where else he has ever played.

There will be growing pains for sure but this kid comes from good stock and work ethic is of zero concern.

...I'm not sure what you're debating with me Ice.
It sounds like we agree on the first part of what you said; which is why I said that Metcalf does not suddenly get a boost with Baldwin gone.. because that was the expectation all along..

I also think David Moore is going to get more snaps than people around here are thinking while it takes Metcalf time to adjust.

I can imagine it was a little shocking for DK but his tears were obviously a combination of relief and joy.
Funny how some confuse emotion with passion while others will do everything possible to tear down a player.

Imagine he will use as motivation.

Sure hope he doesn’t cry when he drops his first pass!

There is a hilarious video of John Schneider and then Pete Carroll talking to Travis Homer after they drafted him ... Homer is a really reserved & quiet guy and didn't show the slightest emotion ... Schneider and Carroll were saying "Man, do you even want to play football?"

Point being, I don't think Metcalf's emotions are viewed as negatives by the team.

Then move back from 1.03 to 1.05 or something.

Yeah i can try, i just moved back from 1.02 yesterday. Traded 1.02 and Hunter Henry for 1.03 and 1.07. In the upcoming weeks will for sure look to move down from 3 to possibly 4-5. Based on my gut i think the owners who have 4 and 5 really like Metcalf as well

If I'm reading that correctly, you traded 1.02 & HH for 1.03 & 1.07? So unless there's more to that trade than what you posted I hate that trade.

How come? I have 1.01 so I'm getting Jacobs and call me crazy but I don't think Henry is some game changing TE. There's about 3-4 in the whole league and then you can pretty much stream the TE spot. Plus he's coming off an ACL.

For me 1.07 >>> HH
Obv 1.02> 1.03 but i dont really love N'keal Harry anyway which is who that owner wants.

There is upside there and he is a very physically talented player but the reality is - he is in a tier of TE's that is full of questions and potential. Engram, Njoku, Howard, Ebron, etc all are in his range. After Kelce,Ertz,Kittle - it really is a crap shoot and I could see the argument of 2-3 TE from this very draft class being valued over Henry. Not saying I'd do that myself, but, I could understand it if one didn't trust Henry with his knee and eventually soon, life without Rivers.

I see your point... But if people are drafting Hock and Fant around 1.07... and Henry isn't worth 1.07... and Henry is in the same tier with all the others... Then Hock and Fant are TE4 and TE5?

The logic makes no sense, but then again, I'll likely never draft a rookie TE. Always cheaper after the slow start to a career
