Metcalf, leaving Cody Barton as last unsigned draft pickLogan Bowles-USA TODAY SportsThe Seattle Seahawks announced on Wednesday that former Ole Miss wide receiver D.K. Metcalf has signed his contract, making him the tenth of eleven 2019 NFL Draft picks made by the Seahawks to put pen to paper on his standard four-year rookie deal. Barring the unthinkable “Cody Barton contract holdout” that would’ve been foreseen by absolutely nobody, we’re on the cusp of every Seahawks draft pick officially being under contract. It should be noted that third-round players such as Barton, a former star linebacker at Utah, can be a bit tricky to complete.Metcalf was the talk of the NFL Combine due to his ridiculous physique and other super impressive traits. Concerns over his health and actual skills as a wide receiver at an NFL level led to him dropping out of the first-round of last month’s draft. Seattle traded back into the very end of the second-round and selected him at #64 overall.With Doug Baldwin’s unforgettable and extremely productive time in Seattle now over, Metcalf represents the future of the Seahawks WR corps. He’s the big-bodied super-talent that Seattle has historically not drafted over the years 12th Fan Color Rush Jersey , and his abilities as a deep threat fit extremely well with the extraordinary intermediate and deep-ball abilities of Russell Wilson.It’s May and frankly the calendar can’t flip fast enough to August, but the early reviews of Metcalf at rookie minicamp are glowing. So this happened:In a frustrating 26-23 overtime loss to the San Francisco 49ers, the Seattle Seahawks seemed to be constantly impeded by officiating calls going against them. Pete Morelli’s crew handed out a few ticky-tacky, ‘happens on every play’ holding calls that felt one-sided. Penalties jarred and crunched against the offense’s schedule. Pete Carroll’s post-game thoughts corroborated with this:It extended to defensive calls too. Shaquill Griffin’s defensive pass interference call in overtime on Dante Pettis looked highly questionable. How a corner is supposed to catch and run with a wide receiver is beyond me. Even more egregious was the DPI call against the impressive Delano Hill on the mostly neutered George Kittle.However, on the crucial big completion down the sideline to J.D. McKissic, the officials got it 100% right. Pre-snap, McKissic motioned out wide. His before-the-play movement was followed by Fred Warner. This told Russell Wilson the coverage was man-to-man.Given the sugaring linebackers and off-the-screen deep middle safety, Wilson knew he basically had a one-on-one to hit against a man blitz. Boy did he hit it! McKissic was a giant speed and route-running mismatch for Warner. Unfortunately, as the tape shows Tyler Lockett Color Rush Jersey , Ethan Pocic hooked his oncoming rusher towards the end of the rep. The holding call was the correct one...on this occasion.It seems bizarre that people are using this game as a method for criticizing offensive playcaller Brian Schottenheimer. His designs were adapted throughout the game; he did a sound job once more.Such poor officiating and execution, combined with an embarrassingly bad playing surface (Tedric Thompson slip be damned), is what lost Seattle this game.Still, enough doom and gloom. The Seahawks are still going to the playoffs. While this loss makes it slightly less likely that their trip to the postseason will be as the 5th seed, to be the best you have to beat the best. And this is still a year beyond most of pre-season’s wildest dreams. The 49ers are now 1-11 in their last 5 years against Seattle; Richard Sherman can have this one. But this game can act as a valuable teaching moment for the Seahawks— “huge lessons for our team,” said Carroll. Despite all the bad aspects, Seattle was a missed SeaBass PAT away from winning in normal time. Heck, they even inexplicably short-kicked on the 49ers’ touchdown return! We’re on to Kansas City.
