Steelers Draft and Mel Kiper sucks thread!!

3 yrs ago....

Sorry about the double

 

Does not fan have "a elite" grammar? I think not

 

Has anyone got a good idea on what inside linebackers will be available this year?
I think we need more than one.

 

Some probable 1st round picks:
Anfernee Jennings
Cameron Smith
Devin White
T.J. Edwards
Mack Wilson

 

Here is some of the free agents for next year as well
C.J. Mosley, Baltimore Ravens
Deone Bucannon, Arizona Cardinals
Avery Williamson, New York Jets
Preston Brown, Cincinnati Bengals

 

No way Mosley is leaving Baltimore...they'd cut Flacco to keep him if they had to. The other guys might be available, the guy I wanted them to look at this year was Preston Brown. I know he plays OLB, but one guy the SteelersDepot writers seem to think could be a fit this season is Simon from the Colts. But as long as Watt is healed up I'm kind of ok with the depth there. Chickillo and Adams the backups with 92 on the PS sounds decent. But definitely need an upgrade at ILB next season. Might be decent this year, but definitely is the biggest weakness on the team.

 

They didn't have any luck coming to an agreement on an extension so far this preseason. So he could end up available but as good as he is against the run he is equally poor in coverage.

 

I’d say that Mosley is the least appealing of the 4 on that list.

 

U guys have ur next Shazier in Matthew Thomas...he just needs to learn and play to his strength...speed speed and more speed

 

You must be overjoyed, we could possibly have two Florida State ILBs.

 

Great school to pluck talent...especially on def

 

Better if you can pick them from Alabama

 

Nice little write-up on J-Dub

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/quiet-rookie-washington-fine-letting-play-talking-213154456--nfl.html

 

this is a good write up. I read he also set a Steeler rookie record as the only ever to have a 100+ yd, rec. game (100 yd rec game 1st ever start... something...) He's piling up some ridiculous accolades so very early... I'm betting between the way he was raised and still is, and the continued influence of his dad ... his hat size won't change a millimeter...

It'll be good to see how he and Ben work and if he can come up with the same type combat reflective catches that Ben can also feel reliant on. If they click ... along with J2S2 and Tony Toe Tappin... we're potentially a great offense with or without Bell. So much better with him but still great without. Any back in the NFL, let alone the few elite, would drool at the chance to run behind this line while getting a ton of heat relief from that receiving crew stretching LB and CB/safety units in to and out of position...

Bell better have a banner year ... he'll never have it better.

 

Haven’t researched so may b completely wrong...other than Mosley who has stood out from Bama on Def?

 

FS has nine players who are defensive starters in the NFL Bama currently has 14

Marlon Humphrey Ravens
Eddie Jackson Bears
Dre Kilkpatrick Bengals
AShawn Robinson Lions
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Packers
Marcell Dareus Jaguars
Reggie Ragland Cheifs
Dont'a Hightower Patriots
Dalvin Tomlinson Giants
Landon Collins Giants
Reuben foster 49ers
Jarron Reed Seahawks
Johnathan Allen Redskins

 

I would give Collins and Dix...the rest meh

 

C'mon Stopper. You don't think Humphrey , Hightower and Foster can play?

 

Humphrey doesn’t even start and Foster is always banged up...Hightower is solid...I’m just saying guys like Ramsey, Telv Smith, Rhodes, Joyner are making all pro teams while those guys are decent starters

 

ESPN had him listed as the starter
