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

He doesn't need COD. His size and speed are sufficient.

Check out this video, Brett Kollmann explains it really well.

I like my receivers to be able to run a whole route tree. He catches the ball well and in stride. Calvin Johnson has a huge catch radius though, you could throw it high to him even if he was covered. Did he have his pro day yet?

That’s pretty typical. Most years there are only 10-20 guys that only have a high grade. Heard Polian talk about it once.

Find a 3 cone time for this guy. He did pretty well.

Calvin Johnson: 6'5" 237 4.35 40 no 3 cone time
Demaryius Thomas: 6'3" 229 4.38 40 no 3 cone time
D.K. Metcalf: 6'3" 228 4.33 40 7.38 3 cone

I think Johnson and Thomas would've had poor 3 cone times, they were just smart enough to not run the drill. That's not their game. Their game is being big, fast, hard to bring down, and using those elements to produce.

You mean they were not perfect at everything and played to their strengths??? Whaaaaat!?!?

People complained about Bradley Chubb’s 3 cone last year and he kicked ass as a rookie.

I thought that was already proven?

Apples and oranges...DE 3-cone does not pertain to a WR 3-cone. The most important measurable for an edge rusher is his 10-yard split...and even this can be subjective, when you watch his tape, you want to be sure that they match.
