17. player. 123. . WR. Ole Miss. DK Metcalf

Dallas is in a weird position at this point of the season. Head coach Jason Garrett and quarterback Dak Prescott have both come under fire for not having this team playing up to their expectations. There’s not much Prescott can do with his current group of receivers after losing Dez Bryant and Jason Witten during the offseason. Dallas needs to give Prescott help other than Zeke Elliott.

If not for a season-ending neck injury I would have taken DK Metcalf fourth-overall with the Cardinals as a Larry Fitzgerald replacement. Instead ,the Cowboys are able to move back and finally get a big replacement for Bryant.

Metcalf has incredible length and he uses every inch of it to his advantage. His arms dangle like branches down his legs. He catches nearly every ball thrown his way and he uses his length to make contested catches whenever possible.
