The bulk he added in such a short period of time should be a big giant red flag. I agree, but if it can't be traced, no foul....right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unsympathetic Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Have we learned nothing from David Boston? If you get too big, you're not explosively quick as a WR and therefore the muscle doesn't matter because you can't separate. I don't understand the fantasy of "big guy playing basketball" because the quicker DB can get his hands around regardless. This should drop Metcalf's draft stock if people were smart - but we'll be drafting front 7 in round 1 anyway. Plenty will be there -- I would avoid Jeffrey Simmons and his blown ACL, though. Safe bets are a couple of Dremont Jones, Polite, Clelin Farrell, or Wilkins will be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No because to maintain it longer term he will have to cycle again. Speaking from experience as well once you get used to that PED crutch it’s very hard to not use it. He didn’t put that mass on with just hgh or a SARM either. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also even with a metabolic schedule, good chance you still piss hot off the rando tests in the NFL. Then the off season becomes even more of your enemy because now you have to contend with connective tissue, ligaments, growth plates and bone structure dealing with inhuman muscle gain/loss which leads itself to injury even in non contact drills. In short, it's one of the reasons I crossed Dexter Lawrence off of my draft list in the 1st three rounds - his chance at severe injury is 3 fold greater after his extended ostarine use. And please, don't @ me if youre a Clemson fan or trying to defend the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why he said he was working with a nutritionist because you want to maintain that level at a safe rate. So any mass Josh put on would have looked "big" on him.

But at some point as a skill position player it becomes something of a hindrance to your play carrying that kind of size outside of the framework of your body. That said, like I mentioned before - the metabolic schedules on these drugs are well documented. So if you piss hot at the combine you're a complete dumbass. I'd bet good money DK ends up passing a test. Doesn't mean he hasn't juiced, just means he didn't get caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to tell just from pics. Not even close if that picture hasnt been doctored any. Metcalf in that pic is easily as big as myles if not bigger. Is thst all functional muscle? Prob not....quick muscle is usually sattelite cells that take time to mature and establish solid neuroligical connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be shocked if he was available to us in the 2nd round. If by some fluke he slid to day two, he would be the player to keep GM's up all night trying to work a trade to get to the top of round 2. In a perfect world we draft a great defensive player because we need better defensive players. But, it isn't a perfect world and the draft to me isn't about needs....at least as the guiding force. If this kid is the best on the board, then we need to take him. It may not be the best thing in the short term, but in the long run you can't go wrong adding great players. We have FA starting in about 3 weeks. We best target a need or two there to eliminate the pressure to draft for needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
