Steelers Draft and Mel Kiper sucks thread!!

I got a chance to watch him tonight in the win vs Baylor. He's got a smooth, easy throwing motion and a really strong arm. I like the physical stuff but overall, he didn't look too polished to me.

 

I caught that game too , Miracle in Boulder. His pass pro is pathetic he was running for his life. Stayed up late and Saw BYU score 14 pts in 30 se ones it was crazy. K State never recovered. The QB looks like he was 15 years old .

 

A few mocks out from "reputable" sites. Just go to NFL Mock DRaft Database and click on the mocks, I am not liking most of them.

Fox Sports Steelers picking 19th in Rob Rangs mock 9/19
Steelers take Mykel Williams DT Georgia. Passing on Tetairoa McMillian, Kenneth Grant, Emeka Egbuka, I have all 3 of them rated higher.

Mock Draft by Justin Melo of The Draft Network. on 9/22 Steelers picking 15th
Steelers take Denzel Burke CB Ohio State. What we learned is they do not value CB as high as OT, OLB, QB, DL. Passing on Luther Burden, Kenneth Grant, Emeka Egbuka, Maliki Starks. This guy is fucking retarded.

Mock draft on CBS and Chris Trepasso. Steelers picking 15th.
Steelers take Shedeur Sanders QB Colorado. Cannot argue this other than he won't last and um no fucking way. Passing on Mason Graham, Emeka Egbuka, Ben Morrison, Harold Perkins.

Walter Football on 9/20, Steelers selecting 12th.
Steelers take Will Johnson CB Michigan. I doubt we are picking 12th, and I don't think he is lasting. But I will say in the past 2 draft CBs fall further than expected. The biggest glaring WTF on this one is Abdul Carter and Emeka Egbuka not going on day 1. Egbuka is not Marvin Harrison, but he's tall, fast and runs good routes.

99% of the mocks I have done, it was DL or WR in round 1. Mostly I take WR because of the value. Once in a while BPA was something else, or a QB fell. Given what current QBs and WR contracts look like it is a no brainer what position will be best on a rookie deal. Look at your 2024 class. Marvin Harrison and Malik Nabers are tearing it up. When Caleb Williams has time, Rome Odunze is getting open. BTW Nabers WON the game vs. the Browns. Harrison is ridiculous. This is why I don't see teams taking CB over WR. Kamari Lassiter taking 54th is playing really good ball This years small school CB to watch is Shavon Revel out of E. Carolina. I doubt he lasts but Maxwell Hairston is a really good CB, Kentucky has a really strong Defense. He is rated around Lassiter's range. I have not taken him yet in my simulators because he is always gone in round 3.

 

Not for nothing, but are the people picking at these sites totally oblivious to what is going on on the football field? The Steelers are 3-0 and they have them picking in slots like they are 0-3.
No way we pick under number twenty. These guys need to get their heads out of the sand

 

Fixed it for you.

 

There you go being politically correct

 

on my lastest simulator, Carson beck was there at 20, had to pull the trigger. Just missed Walter Nolen at 84 he went 83rd. But I did well otherwise.

 

I like Tre Harris just off of value alone. He’s going to go later than he should because WR is top heavy next year. He will be a steal in the 2nd round.

 

Huge Game tonight, Georgia vs. Alabama, this could decide the National Championship if there are 4 no loss teams.

My 2 games will be

Ole Miss vs. Kentucky. Notable prospects: Jaxon Dart, Walter Nolen, Tre Harris, Antoine Welles, Kaiden Preiskorn. Keone Walker, Barrion Brown, Maxwell Hairston, Dane Key, Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Georgia vs. Alabama. Notable prospects: Maliki Starks, Carson Beck, Tate Ratledge, Ernest Greene III, Dylan Fairchild, Smael Mondon Jr, Ben Yurosek, Oscar Delp, Jalon Walker, Xavier Truss, Nazir Stackhouse
Jalen Milroe, Tyler Booker, Deonte Lawson, Keon Sabb, Demoni Jackson, Malachi Moore, Jaeden Roberts, Tim Smith, Germie Bernard.

Lots of talent to watch. Have not seen Alabama or Mississippi yet, so that will be fun. Not really focusing on OL yet, I've been watching DL and CB play, but there are a lot of players in the Georgia and Alabama game rated in the top 100 that play on the OL. James Daniels could walk in free agency, Seamalu can't stay healthy and when was the last time Nate Herbig was on the field? I see promise in McCormick, Anderson is a better swing Tackle than OG. Dan Moore is most likely gone too. So far for me the only OG I am banging the table for is Marcus MBow from Purdue. But tonight's game will have 4 of the top guards in the country. I did like what I saw out of Jonah Monheim, the OC out of USC, he did rather well considering he was going up Graham and Grant. What intrigues me is that he has played OT before, so he's that 7th guy you dress who may upgrade Anderson.

 

^ First off, Jack Sawyer isn't lasting. And on OL, maybe waited too long. I guess the fact that I got Grant and Nolen was awesome, but I only netted one WR, probably should have done it differently. Took Stutsman over Monden Jr., Took Cam Ward over Drew Allar. Harold Fannin Jr. was a luxury pick, maybe I could have waited on TE, I dunno man I just think he's a wicked sleeper going to create havoc in the middle of the field. Josh Gray was a solid, pick, lots of good traits, the most being durability/availability, something our OG could use a boost in. I have no idea why Xavier Watts is rated where he is, but he's a smart safety you can line up all over. Traded back, passed on Embuka, because I knew Harris would be sitting there. I would rather lock in DT, QB, WR in the first two rounds. I will have to go back and look and see where I maybe could have passed on Nolen or Fannin for OL earlier, but these are my bang the table guys so far, so I would be doing myself a disservice. So I am checking it out, and yup Maxwell Hairston was available at 84, as was Marcus Mbow. But on other sites Nolen is gone in the first round, or ealry second, rarely do I see him taken or available at 84, so lets not second guess 2 DL in the first 4 picks.. I guess OL was the way to go at 117, sticking with the Nolen pick. Cameron Williams, Ajani Cornelius, and Anthony Belton were all available and they are true OTs.. Where I could have grabbed my WR2 was @ 195, don't know why I didn't see Kyren Lacy sitting there. The CB I want, and he's always taken early is Tommi Hill. Anyways, enjoy your weekend, for whoever the hell reads my rants.

 

Tre Harris , Dart, Nolen , all studs. Dane Key is solid

 

Walker is in beast mode . Hairston out with a shoulder bummed I don’t get to see him on Harris

 

Ward continues to impress me. This upcoming draft is going to lead to a whole lotta thinking by GM's, mainly based on a couple of really stand-out QB's.

 

Then there's Milroe just going off vs. Georgia, holy shit. Boy did Kentucky bring Ole Miss back down to Earth. Dart looked less than spectular on a host of plays and had a few WTF moments. Tre Harris, can you say 1st round? Stock up Jamie Bernard. Maliki Starks with a missed tackle, but then a FG saving tackle before the end of the half. He just gave up a huge play, but he had good position and it was just an inch away from being a PBU..

 

Watching Beck stink the place up at the moment. 8 of 17, 2 picks.

 

Over Reaction Saturday......... Beck falls and Milroe and Ward go top 5.
I tell you Willie, that OG for 'Bama, Tyler Booker he's a beast, the whole line is playing out of their minds.

 

Agreed. No way is Beck top 5 material at this point.
