I hope so...David Moore made some exciting plays in the vertical game. I think it is pretty obvious that DK is more physically gifted than Moore. DK is like Jimmy Graham without the broken down body part...right? Think Jimmy Graham in New Orleans? Only faster...
Metcalf has a higher vertical. He is alot faster than Graham (4.33 to 4.52) . Fastest 10 yard split of a player 225 + ever and is way more physical.

Yeah, Graham probably just came to mind because he played here. My hope is that he is Calvin Johnson, but that seems a bit lofty for right now.

That's not too lofty at all. That's exactly what I'm expecting with that kind of talent and that drive and work ethic. Megatron, Julio Jones, Randy Moss. He has the QB. No reason not to expect that. Rest of the league really screwed up.

It will be great glory to see all of the supposedly wise and cautious naysayers who "warned" us about getting excited about him look like fools.

Check out this twitter convo I had with this clown who predicts a 6-10 season for the Hawks. What's wrong with people.

Mmmm I dunno. They have a brutal schedule. I think the offense is going to be special with the Oline, RBs , TEs and the young WR. Secondary is strong at DB . Probably the best tandem in league right now. Question marks at S . LBs are rock solid with depth. Now that D line scares the crap outta me. Collier is unknown. Will Green take a huge step? Is Reed a star? Is Ansah healthy? I think he is overrated when he is healthy. Maybe he can excel in the LEO role . Too many ifs there. Hawks still have Wilson.

We'll see.

My 11 might be optimistic but 6 is ridiculous. I would be willing to bet a lot that we fall in the 9-11 range.
