All Sizzle, No Steak: D.K. Metcalf Is a 1st-Round Flop Waiting to Happen

There hasn't been a more talked-about wide receiver in the class of 2019 than D.K. Metcalf of Ole Miss. The buzz started when a photo of the 6'3", 228-pounder looking like he could beat up Batman went viral. That buzz grew to a roar when Metcalf put on a show at the NFL Scouting Combine that included a 4.33-second 40-yard dash.

It's not especially hard to find a mock draft that has Metcalf as the first wide receiver selected in 2019. Or one that has him going inside the first half of Round 1.
