As Day 2 of the 2019 NFL Draft wore on, Ole Miss wide receiver D.K. Metcalf continued the slide that had seen him fall out of the first day of the draft. Many analysts and observers opined that it was due to his poor 3-cone and 20-yard shuttle at the NFL Combine, combined with injury concerns. The front office of the Seattle Seahawks, however, could not sit back and resist the temptation to make the moves necessary to add the intriguing prospect to the roster.
While the injury concerns for Metcalf remain unchanged following the draft, the simple fact is that the Seahawks added a player whose skills and abilities are a near perfect match for the offense the Hawks run.
