Steelers Draft and Mel Kiper sucks thread!!

That's like saying eat a pile of shit every day because every now and then you'll score a few peanuts.

 

Good analogy

 

I don't block specific users, but I'll block topics that engage ZERO interest to me. None of this shit that we post here is gospel and that works both ways.

 

I wish Griffin the best but I hope our super team doesn’t draft him, they can’t have a miss this year if they draft an ILB. He’s too risky of a pick.

I heard the Steelers may be showing interest in QB Lamar Jackson, if true for god’s sake no thank you, he will not be a successful NFL QB. Please advise

 

How do you block topics?

 

Using this topic as an example, scroll up and under the title of the topic you’ll see “Unwatch Thread” and “Ignore Thread”, select the later (obviously)

What a day

 

Thank you

 

Is there any chance we take one of the better running backs early? I hate the thought of no Bell and no options.

And what about Marcus Allen? Any chance we take a safety early?

 

Steelers late round draft:

Marshall Boy, QB Chase Litton!

Laundry Jones given a box a Kleenex on his way out...

 

Chase Litton would be a good late round pick. He currently ranks as the 7th or 8th best QB on the board, but he could very well pan out nicely.

 

I like Allen and Reid as picks at safety.
RBs that will likely be around... Guice (late 1st) or Penny (hopefully lasts to end of round 2). Steelers need defense help urgently so looking at offense contributors that early doesn’t seem very logical. But I would definitely gamble on Penny (or Guice) if he’s still there in Rd 2, since Bell is as good as gone next year.

 

Plenty good RBs in the 2nd round. Bell was. (But so was Eddie Lacy....)

Bias alert: Chase Litton, 6'5", 234 lbs, kinda mobile, big arm, smaller conference which used to be the MAC....

Hmm... sound familiar?

 

And yes, firehalo, defensive help must be plan A. Back 8 . Not linemen .

(Unless of course some freak is available)

 

I assume the first three picks for the Steelers will be ILB, S, and RB in whatever order

 

A synopsis of the ongoing GM exercise for L4SN...

Restructured
Ben, Antonio, Tuitt

- Really didn't need to do all of these. Still have 20M in cap space. Should have waited until I needed them.

Released
Wilcox, Gay, Sensabaugh

Joe Haden to Carolina for 3.21
Mike Mitchell to Carolina for 6.23
Maurkice Pouncey to Tennessee for 2.25
Martavis Bryant and 6.23 (Car) to Oakland for 4.10

- I took a different approach then the current team. Felt like we were really top heavy against the cap and turned vets into draft picks.

Traded For
5.9 (SF) to New Orleans for Mark Ingram - underrated veteran guy, under contract for '18 and then let the young guys take over.

Draft Picks
1.28 Josh Jackson CB, Iowa - Really happy this guy fell to us, physical press CB, great scheme fit.
2.25 Jessie Bates III, S Wake Forest - Steelers are all over this guy. Entire staff took him out to dinner at his pro day.
2.28 Kerryon Johnson, RB Auburn - Very similar style to Bell.
3.21 Malik Jefferson, LB Texas - I'm lukewarm on this pick but I felt I couldn't pass him up late 3rd.
3.28 Genard Avery, LB Memphis - Everyone should take some time to look at this kid. Credit Jonah Tuls for the find.
4.10 Deon Cain, WR Clemson - I regret this pick with John Kelly RB Tenn on the board. I was swamped at work and took the layup, replacing Martavis Bryant with a similar guy with the pick I received for him.
5.28 Chase Edmonds, RB Fordham - Tim turned me on to this guy and I probably don't take a 3rd RB if I had taken Kelly earlier. So maybe the Cain pick works out in a weird way.

 

STEELERS

 

Mock Draft Time. Lym is looking for participants...

http://live4sportnetwork.com/forum/threads/r-h-s-c-mock-draft-sign-up-sheet.13335/#post-558862

 

Colbert & Tomlin are scouting QBs . They went to OK State and Louisville’s pro days, the only players worth drafting are QBs.

 

DB from Lville is solid

 

Does anyone really think the Steelers will draft a QB in round 1?
