    A 6th is better than a 7th, I’ll take that.

    Waiting between pick 21 and 83 is going to suck.

    They traded one of the sevenths to the Packers in the Preston Smith deal.

    If we had drafted a WR with the #2 pick who statistically would have a 1/3 people would have cheered the pick

    We get a proven WR with the pick and people complain

    no way he is worth 30 milk a year, he has only had 3 1k seasons since he has been in the league

    True but more context is needed. He was 8 yards shy of 1,000 last season starting only 12 games. In 2021 he was 33 yards shy of 1,000 and his rookie year he had 900 yards.

    So he is not far off of hitting that mark in every season he has played.

    A video breaking down DK. His strengths and weaknesses. More bad than I thought.

    Metcalf's contract details dropped on OTC.
    • $60M guaranteed at signing, comprised of $30M signing bonus + $30M in guaranteed base salary ($5M in 2025, $25M in 2026)
    • Remaining guaranteed money is in the form of roster bonuses that trigger the first day of each league year over the final three years of the contract
    • Minimal cap hit of $11M this year, which rises to $31M, $32.5M, and $34M over the next three, and $41.5M in 2029
    • The structure is pretty safe for the Steelers - they can trade/cut him after two years and save $14.5M on the 2027 cap, $20.5M if post-June 1
