So he tied Tom Beady instead of being beaten by him. A lot of receivers avoid the tgeee cone for this reason. But usually they average under 7 seconds, good ones. For example Cooper Kupp has a slow 40 at 4.65 but had a decent 3-cone a 6.75 or something. He has done pretty well. But for a guy that fast and that cut why doesn’t he have a little more agility? It a question that teams will ask, especially with his limited body of work. I bet Ballard still considers him because he likes those A+ athletes at WR. I just don’t see him spending the first on him.

You can see in the video he's a long strider which is hurting him in that drill. He's not going to be your slot receiver, but you don't want him to be. You draft Metcalf to be the big bodied outside physical receiver that makes plays with his size and his long speed. Leave the short area quickness to the slot receiver type.

Like with Barkley last year, it won't matter because Metcalf won't be available at #26.

If he is don't want him

The whole discussion is moot because Ballard isn't taking a WR in the 1st round. He's been downplaying their "need" at WR all offseason and continues to stress that he wants to build up the lines.

He did meet with AJ Brown today, however, and I do think he could be there at #34 and to my knowledge Ballard hasn’t ruled out WR at that spot...

@JamesPalmerTV
Ole Miss WR A.J. Brown has been a busy man. He’s already met with the Patriots, Colts, Giants and Eagles to name a few. Also upcoming visits lined up with the Bills and Packers.

Fair. Are you sure that tweet means that Ballard met with him? Colts met with Abram earlier this week, but it was just the DB coach.

because others dont want him or just him?

Hrm, maybe not. I’m not sure what the Colts representation at Ole Miss’ pro day was.

I don’t see Ballard going wr with either of the 1st 2 picks I look for defensive picks DT, CB, or safety in first 2 rounds
