When the Pittsburgh Steelers traded with the Seattle Seahawks for wide receiver DK Metcalf, fans were excited to land a quality skill player. However, the move was also met with plenty of backlash, and I was one of the biggest critics. Giving up a second-round pick for Metcalf only to turn around and hand him a four-year, $131.9 million deal was a double-gut punch that cost the Steelers high draft capital and a top-five contract among all NFL receivers.
Though Metcalf is a quality player who has averaged over 1,000 yards per season over his first six years in the league, he's nowhere near a top-five player at his position.
