Who is the NFL's best deep pass option that doesn't already have Tyreek Hill while needing someone to fight for jumpballs in the endzone? Brees? Rodgers?

The guy can't separate but if he's got speed and a vertical he could be a WR3 or something. Comedy option a TE.

I love Tyreek Hill but I swear he's dropped more deep TDs that hit him right in the hands than most QBs threw all last season. How are Metcalf's hands?

The biggest knock against him before we knew he could only run in a straight line.

If he can run block Seattle I guess. Russ has a great deep ball when he's allowed to throw.

I was gonna say that on that highlight tape I didn't see all that much that wasn't go routes and fade routes in the end zone from DK Metcalf.

Nah, that's low given his potential. Some folks were arguing about this in the other threat and I think they're right that actually his value would be in the first and second rounds. That's just one dude's opinion, a third rounder alone would surprise me

I would take DK Metcalf in the 3rd to 4th round where other physical freaks with questions like can he actually play football,can he catch ball go and def not the top 10 or even first round.

He looks like a project wr 3 or a WR2 maybe?

He's certainly not a foundational piece for a passing game. You dont even know if the kid can catch

I love reading about what NFL teams do in interviews. Like, do we think the interviewers are football dudes who dabble in psychology or do teams actually hire psychologists to do this stuff? How do you gleam anything from a staring contest? What is a good or bad outcome?

the obvious solution to the line arms race is to maginot it up and make offenses have 12 men on the field with mandatory 6 linemen.

Or just make offensive holding short of take downs legal because there is just no hope at this point.

I want a job thinking up increasingly stupid ways to mess with draft prospects that have nothing to do with football.

I think there is something to be said about seeing how someone would react when presented with something completely unexpected or borderline silly when they are already experiencing a lot of pressure. My grad school interview was a group interview and had 3 parts. One of the parts was playing cornhole with the group of people in your little interview cohort (with whom you are directly competing against i.e. limited spots etc). I was very surprised about this and after I got in we asked about this section of the interview. It was all about seeing how people would react with something unexpected and how would we behave and cooperate with others we are in direct competition with. I went to school for mental health counseling so different than football but throwing some curveballs to see how people react to emergent situations sounds like a good way to get info about people's behavior and dispositions
