With Russ gone it's difficult to imagine a situation other than the two experiencing regression. One thing I will say about Russ however, is he did have a tendency to hold onto the ball too long and seemed to vastly favour the deep ball. That was great for causing his receivers to have explosive weeks, however it also caused some consistency issues with guys like Lockett.
With that said, I haven't actually watched Lock play, so I'm not the best gauge of character on what his play style is like. I know when the Hawks had Geno, Metcalf actually performed surprisingly well.
Lockett I think is also in an interesting situation with Lock at the helm. Lockett has historically always been such a boom or bust player, but I wonder with Drew at the helm if Lockett actually stabilizes a bit in his consistency. It's looking like Lockett's ADP is around the 10th round.. which for a guy of his caliber is very deep. With the right QB situation (not saying it's necessarily Drew), I think Lockett is actually one of the most skilled WR's in the game.
Curious what peoples thoughts are?
