Steelers Draft and Mel Kiper sucks thread!!

Die hard Steeler fan since 1972, I was 13. I really like inside info from Jim Wexell and draft profile info from ourlads. But I think it's more fun guessing freely on my own, (plus I am a cheap fucker) just reading and watching and the big guessing games. I am getting tired of Depot posting what ESPN thinks, the latest is this woman named Brooke Pryor. Just because she covers the Steelers and works for ESPN doesn't mean she should have articles reposted. Fine, if you are dumb enough to subscribe to be an ESPN insider, kind of an oxymoron, that's your own call. Kiper Jr. is historically bad at reading teams and formulating mocks. In fact he came in 55th out of 100 for the 2023 Draft. His latest load of bullshit is Xavier Worthy at pick 20, I shit you not.

I do not mind paying for NFL Network and Sirius Radio, I listen to Ch. 88 all the time, my favorite show is Moving the Chains. Peacock now charges to watch Florio and SImms. I find that comical because I think they should be paying us to listen to their shitacular show. It's better than Cowherd but not by a mile. Worst of them all is Mark Madden, that guy is a fucking retard. Back to Depot, mostly very good content, especially Korzoa and Pavelle and the draft coverage, really worth the reads there admittedly I do learn from guys younger than myself. .

 

This post made me laugh a couple time and yell "AMEN"!

 

Kiper just changed his pick to Brian Thomas, but still has crazy pics in his latest 3.0

 

Also have some nice classic rock stations that play the best music of any radio station in the world.

 

his job is too create interest in his rhetoric. My biggest gripe is his historical narcissism. If the Fucker was really that insightful an NFL team would have hired him for his opinion. They haven’t because he misses character and medical in his evaluation. Mel KIPER sucks.

 

How many rounds is it, I would like a good laugh can you copy and past his debacle?

 

Four-round 2024 NFL mock draft: Jets take TE Brock Bowers; Chiefs trade up for speedster in Round 1

4 round mock to dissect , this is a fun time of year for me.

Oh Shit moments and surprise fallers for me anyhow in no particular order: 87. Zach Frazier OC WV 90. Ricky Pearsall WR Florida 96. Malachi Corley WR W. Michigan 34. Amarius Mims OT Georgia 54. Edggerin Cooper LB Texas A&M
59. Keon Coleman WR Florida St. 75. Roman Wilson WR Michigan 119. Mike Sainristil NCB Michigan 122. Christian Haynes OG UConn

Huh, WTF risers for me. 22. Payton Wilson LB NC State 31. Max Melton CB Rutgers 39. Ben Sinnott TE Kansas State 43. Cam Hart CB Notre Dame 44. Austin Booker DE Kansas 50. Zac Zinter OG Michigan 63. Roger Rosengarten OT Washington

fucking retarded picks. 4. JJ McCarthy QB Michigan Vikings 12. Bo Nix QB Oregon Broncos 19. Xavier Worthy WR Texas Chiefs

Steelers picks:
20. Graham Barton OC Duke just missed the OT run
51. Troy Franklin WR Oregon end of the WR run, would like Xavier Leggette better he went 46th and missed on Adonai MItchell who went 48th.
84. Javon Foster OT Missourri about where you expect him to be, was first team SEC that's a favorable trait.
98. Muhammid Kamara OLB/DE Colorado State I think Omar and Weidl would push for Ruke Orhoroho here, he went 118. DL is more pressing you can wait on OLB.
119. Mike Sainristil CB Michigan steal of day 3 IMHO

Missing in Acton:

Sedrick Van Pran Grainger and Taylor Jordan off the top of my head.

Big Board rounds 4-7 on Depot

Can't remember posting it, it's a good reference point.

 

Finally a 7 round mock.

2024 NFL Mock Draft RD6&7


1. Adonai Mitchell WR Texas
2. Zach Frazier OC WVa
3. Andru Phillips CB Kentucky
3. Brandon Dorlus DL Oregon
4. Javon Foster OT Missouri
6. Corey Shrader RB Missouri
6.Quan'tez Stiggers CB CFL Toronto Argoanuts

What the fuck round 6 is stupid. And Dorlus doesn't have the arm length.to play inside

20. Also available: Jackson Powers-Johnson, Troy Fantuanu and Mims.. gone were Q. Mitchell, T. Arnold, Fuagua, Latham, Thomas Jr.
51. just missed Graham Barton, also available: Xavier Legette, Ricky Pearsall, Edggerin Cooper Roman Wilson
84. missed out on Sainristill (71), Melton (76), still available Junior Colson,
98. still available Blake Fisher ,Cedric Gray
119. Other options were Christian Jones, Tykee Smith
178. Just missed Gabe Hall (177) , still available: Trevin Wallace, Tyrice Knight, Tip Reiman
195. still available: Josh Proctor, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, JD Bertrand, Jackson Glover

 

What would bites do in this one ?
1. Trade back take Mims OT
2, Zach Frazier C
3, trade up for Corley WR
3. Mike Sainristil CB
4. Jordan Travis Qb
5. Trade up for Gabe Hall (Vikings) DT
7. Travis Glover OT

 

So my mind on my above moves. Mims too much value to pass up, still got a Center. Then added a YAC specialist in Corley. . You have no idea that Sainristil will be there so you go early, need a slot CB, Cardinals have some really good mid day 2 picks. Jordan Travis is a no brainer. The running offense behind Smith will only benefit if Wilson and Fields fizzle out, you got a young kid who was a dynamic playmaker at QB who will learn from Wilson. Once healed, you may have your Franchise QB. QB's come in all shapes in sizes, I say take a chance on a kid with a high ceiling. No way am I coming out of this draft without a DT5, Hall measures up. And then Glover, an OT you can develop into your swing tackle if Moore moves on. This is a heavy Offensive draft. but it's how things fell. Possibly taking Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint late day 3 would be more balance. I do have a feeling they are going to take a developmental tackle in the draft and that they are not balls crazy about Powers-Jackson like the rabid Steeler fans seem to be. I went with Mims because of the uipside, has the potential to be the best Tackle in the draft. I do not like him at 20 but Trading with AZ and taking him at 27, then being able to move up for Corley and Sainristil makes this a win. I don't like the idea of taking Adonai Mitchell who is probably the 6th best WR in the draft. This is such a deep draft at WR, sitting back and pouncing on Corley make more sense. He reminds me of Debo Samuel and in a short passing offense, YAC is probably what the team needs out of WR3. I have no idea who WR2 is, I think Kahn will not go into the draft without a Tyler Boyd type, he is sitting back and waiting for the price to be in 7 figures per for 3 years.??

 

2024 NFL Mock Draft: Cardinals stay put to select Marvin Harrison Jr., offensive tackles fly off the board | NFL Draft | PFF

at least these guys provide opinions on why they think certain will go where they go. Also, extra points for actually including data for any projected trades.

@nybites I am still working on getting you the douche nozzles V3 mock, the copy and paste isn't working

 

Chiefs Wire’s first-round mock: K.C. to target DB after Sneed trade?

So do you take Thomas at 20, JPJ, or fucking run to the podium and grab Fuagua? Good question..... trading back is second best option as in some team will give up plenty for him. Not too far back, still need a Center.,

 

Good old fashion, retype might be the way to go. You could always message me and put his Mockery on your cell and do screen shot(s)

 

So if he fell to 51 anyone else like the pick Kamari Lassiter CB Georgia?. Think of him as a slot CB, very shifty, polished. The fact he had the fastest 3 cone at the combine tells me he has quick feet.

 

2024 NFL Mock Draft Version (3-24-24)

Huge run on OT and JPJ gone. Steelers take Wiggins. Meh, Q. Mitchell still available, Barton Still available, Thomas Jr. still available. Move back and get Barton, or run up and grab Mitchell ?

 

2024 NFL mock draft: 3 rounds of March madness

Not sure if I like this trade. Steelers give up 20, 98 for picks 28 and 60 and a first round pick in 2025.
And the pick at 84 is fucking stoopid. Yeah I spelled it wrong to emphasize the agsurdity of picking 2 OT back to back, and Rosengarten was eaten alive vs. Michigan.
I like Brian Thomas Jr. at 28, then Blake Fisher at 60, but Jeez H. Christmas the pick at 84 is Sedrick Van Pran Granger. I guess they address CB in round 4. Looking quick players that "might" be there at 119. Renardo Green FSU, Khyree Jackson Oregon, Andru Phillips Kentucky, Cam Hart Notre Dame, J.C. James Auburn, Caleen Carson Wake Forest, Josh Newton TCU
For me I am looking at a twitchy slot CB, really then the two in RED are the available guys I would target.

 

Well I kinda feel like this ^

anyone. Bueler. Beuler. Guys you will bang the table for. Guys who you don't want, speak up folks.

 

No-brainer at 51. Think his physicality pushes him up the draft board.

 

I keep coming back to Quinyon in the 1st. Day one starter. All-pro ability.
