0:00DK Metaf. And honestly, Metaf, it feels
0:02like he's here because of brand
0:03recognition. Like it feels like just the
0:05name DK Metaf. People see that, you
0:07know, at the turn of like the six seven
0:09turn and they're like, I got to do it.
0:11Like, I got to take DK Metaf. He can't
0:12be on the board anymore. But he's coming
0:14off back-to-back seasons with less than
0:16a thousand yards, less than seven
0:18touchdowns. He didn't even hit a 100
0:20targets in his first season with
0:21Pittsburgh last year. And that's brutal
0:24because he was competing with Calvin
0:26Austin and Roman Wilson as the next best
0:29wide receivers on this team. Now he's
0:32got Michael Pitman Jr. who's going to
0:34command more targets probably than both
0:35those players combined. And Jeremy
0:37Bernard or I think it's Jeremy Bernard.
0:39Looks like Jeremy I think it's Jeremy
0:40Bernard. Uh who people are very excited
0:43about. Um I wasn't necessarily like
0:45locked in him as a prospect. It's a
0:46pretty mediocre draft class but the team
0:50sounded ecstatic that they drafted him.
0:52All reports out of like OTAAS's very
0:54early camp. Again, we'll see what
0:56happens in training camp, but early
0:57camps here are that like he's hitting
1:00that they're really pleased with what
1:01they've gotten from him. He should be
1:03the third wide receiver on this team.
1:05And he's going to be better than Roman
1:06Wilson was last year. And so you look at
1:09things and you're like, wait a minute,
1:10you have way more target competition
1:12than you had last year. Back-to-back
1:13seasons under 1,000 yards. Didn't even
1:15hit 100 targets last year. Risk, right?
1:18And that's before mentioning a
1:2043-year-old Aaron Rogers as his
1:23quarterback. Like it is purely name
1:26value as to why he's going this early.
1:28He had less than 56 yards in 11 of 15
1:32games last season. He now faces more
1:35target competition. Rogers is another
1:37year older. And there's just no way.
