Why didn’t they just draft DK in the second round

Yea they traded for Cooper, but why omg why didn’t they pick Metcalf in the second round? Every time they play that Quick commercial with the bunny ears it rubs it in a little more. All you had to do was play Tecmo Bowl to know they guy was going to be a star.

They had Cooper and Gallup….why on earth would they go receiver in the 2nd?

Why didn’t every team in nfl that needed the best QB in history draft Tom Brady

Its easy revisionism to say we should have drafted Metcalf. At the time he was considered a major bust risk and hardly anyone here wanted him. He has a much better player than he was a draft prospect

Would have been great, but like they say, hindsight is always 20/20.
I remember watching that draft as I watch all drafts, and just the name "Metcalf" was intriguing.

Well most knew what Cooper was , no draft pick is a certainty

I’m sure they did but no way they were taking him early.
He was definitely a possibility with their 2nd round pick if he was there. Trading for Cooper would have had nothing to do with that. Its just not how they operate. Just like it didnt matter when we took Lamb the following year after we extended Cooper
