Metcalf and hockenson available where they are? Really? In what way is this

Because those games use out dated information which make them pointless.
Metcalf is a mirage. Dude was often injured, will likely injury out in the NFL. Hockenson is a great physical talent, but he's never been the #1 TE, like he will in the NFL.

Why is it so hard to understand that the combine makes false heroes, every year?

Hockenson was already projected a 1st round TE and didn’t really have an amazing physical combine. Metcalf has nice tape when he plays especially as a deep threat, but I do agree he will get over drafted because of this weekend.
And in an opposite manner, Nate Herbig is not an A+ grade as a 3rd round pick either.

Nice tape + when healthy + great 40 time = John Ross selection, two years ago..   Mellow

Kind of, but I do believe Ross could be further along with a coach who would have built a couple packages around him. Metcalf has higher upside just because he has more physical tools to work because of his size plus he can beat man press, something I was on record saying I felt Ross would struggle with coming out.

At 22 to the Ravens I think he can be involved in their run game year 1 along with offering a deep big body receiver for Jackson to use down field.
Fanspeak mocks like this are pretty much useless cuz you're always going to get crazy good value.
