I would trade down. Metcalf will be David Boston -1.0.

I disagree. Hopefully he's off the board, it doesn't matter, and the Colts take the best defender or trade down.

Besides looking like a bodybuilder, what similarities are there between Metcalf and Boston?

I'm resigned to the Colts "reaching" for a Rd2 talent on defense at 26. Some draft analysts are saying there's really only about 20 1st round grades this year. Maybe someone falls, but I'm just assuming it won't happen.

The next Johnson could be A.J. Brown IMO. Great height, size catch radius, and easily the best after the catch feild awareness and toughness of all the WR's. He's just slower than Metcalf.
Metcalf can run fast in a straight line. But he doesn't stop and go, cut corners, or make breaks well at all. And that is how a WR get's open. I think Metcalf is another John Ross, but stronger physically.

Calvin Johnson had terrible COD skills but was able to get open by taking advantage of his size and speed. If you take Metcalf and use him like Johnson, you'll have a great player (barring injury). If he runs slants (size), curls (size, speed), posts (speed) and flys (size, speed), he'll have monster production. He's not a COD guy, and you have to be okay with using him that way, but Calvin Johnson showed that a player with Metcalf's skillset can be very productive in the NFL.

I'd rather trade down with a QB needy team at that point. Maybe Sweat will fall with the heart condition.

I should have been more explicit--I don't think there will be a trade partner to trade down if so few teams have 1st round grades.

What's his Story?

The reason I said -1.0 is that Metcalf hasn't even had good college production. AJ Brown was the better WR on his team.

Also Metcalfs lackluster 3-cone shows that his change of direction ability will not be adequate enough to et him open in the NFL.
