Steelers Draft and Mel Kiper sucks thread!!

Maybe someone can explain how Hunter is still on the team...Roger's place holder?

 

If he gets a hat today vs. the Chargers, hopefully he reminds us.

 

You were advised back in May on what the 2018 season will be.

 

Silly me. When they were 7-2-1, I thought they had the world by the tail. When will I learn. Broncos and Raiders on the road have always been their nemesis.

 

6 Steelers headed to the Pro-Bowl

James Conner, AB, Pouncey, DeCastro, Villanueva and Heyward were all voted to the Pro-Bowl. Hope none of them are available to play.

 

How did Vince Williams not get in? He lead all AFC ILBs in fan voting.

 

Fan voting only counts for 1/3 of the votes...no way in hell does he get vote from other players and coaches

 

How does Boswell not get in? He's Mr Automatic

A little bad news followed by related good news.

For those of you who have been around a while, you probably remember a Steelers fan - "Father of Twins" (FoT). His home burnt to the ground during the California wildfires. Quite literally, the only part still standing was a masonary chimney.

Fortunately, he heeded the advance notice to evacuate and no one in his family was physically harmed. He was also able to retrieve virtually all of his irreplaceable personal possessions (photos, documents, heirlooms, etc).

He has already purchased a new home and all are apparently doing fine.

Just thought you guys would like to know.

 

Thank you Lyman. Tough to lose a home to fire. I've been there but family safety is the most important. Glad they're OK.

 

California is still my favorite place in the entire world that I have encountered. I have won’t say I have seen everything, but I’ve done my fair share of traveling.

 

Greedy Williams should be the pick at #20...if he isn’t available Devin Bush

 

Greedy Williams probably won't get past the top 10 much less all the way down to 20. For sure, he won't get past #17.

 

The only team in the top 10 that could take him is TB and they need OL help...the next target I can see is Miami and then Carolina....I don’t see the Browns drafting another CB unless they feel Ward is another concussion away from missing the rest of the year....they need LB and DL help in the worst way

 

Nobody expected the Browns to draft Ward at #4 last year either. And, yes, his concusion history is significant.

 

Oakland has already been linked to DBs in the draft, both at corner and safety.

The Jets and Lions have a need, as well as Washington.

If teams view Greedy as a top 10/top 5 pick he likely doesn't fall in this draft.

 

I think Det needs a pass rusher w Ansah likely moving on or LB help, NYJ I think will take either Williams or Josh Allen, whichever one is left and Wash needs WR help or OL....as stated above Miami or Carolina are the biggest threats

 

Disagree, simply because talent is talent and if you have a position of need without available talent to fill it, you go after the best available talent.

Greedy being available later in the first is a long shot at this point in the process.

So, as stated above, there will be several teams that will consider Williams ahead of Pittsburgh.

 

No doubt and the chances probably are less than 50% but Derwin falling to #17 wasn’t expected
