Roster & PS Predictions

No reason to apologize.... we are all very excited! All these moves are unprecedented. Just means we got the money. Normally we are against the cap. I like the fact that they aren't superstars... (Haden aside) because we have our superstars from the draft but these are compliments that fill voids.

 

Thanks Mex. i was just sitting here thinking the same thing. I can't recall the last time the steelers were this active this time of year making trades and what not. THe front office is pulling out some stops to get Lombardi if at all possible

 

If I had stayed away from football all offseason following the AFCCG and didn't pick it up again until Sept. 10, needless to say I'd be shocked by all the players we have on the roster (and a couple we don't have).

I think every new player we acquired this week has a chance to succeed for this team. I just literally opened my browser and was shocked that we traded for J.J. Wilcox, who I've been high on his whole career to this point. Then there's the Sammie Coates trade, the Joe Haden signing, and the Vance McDonald trade. I know very little about McDonald to be honest, but everything I do know suggests he's primed for a huge spike in production on this team.

The Bills just released Jonathan Williams, a 2016 5th round draft pick of theirs who seemed to be ready to take over as the #2 RB and possibly be their #1 after the days of LeSean McCoy. If the Steelers wanna bolster their backfield even further then I say they give this guy a serious look. He slid in the draft because of his injury history but has second-day talent at worst.

 

Demo, not sure if I remember correctly, but there were a few people pounding the table for J.J. Wilcox during the draft. I'm sure you were one of them. If so, it's a little late, but better than never. lol
