Steelers Draft and Mel Kiper sucks thread!!

This one would be insanely good.

 

Which one ? I do so many

 

The Hampton one

 

Grant isn't my favorite DL but he's a steal in the 2nd. Hampton is fast. I would like him.

 

Couple of Tweaks to my board, still reading, reading, reading looking for reasons to move guys up a little or down a litte.

Some interesting facts about the lineage here. As mentioned Carson Bruener is Mark's son. Here is one some of you may not know, Josh Simmons' Uncle is Chris Fuamatu-Ma'alafalu. Remember he was a bad Malafala.

Random thoughts. I would not say Mason Graham is a lock at 5 even though the Jags D sucks. They need to score points, protect Sergio DeBIgnosia (Lawrence) Three other options I can see are Jeanty, Membou, Warren. They can come back in the second and it is possible that Grant or even Nolen will be there at 37. Graham is a blue chipper but he doesn't sell tickets. The Saints need so much and not sure Sanders is their target, in fact I think Sanders makes it to 21 and Pittsburgh takes a few calls. It might be one of those crazy 3 team trades. Minnesota has to move down, Steelers cannot afford to take a boom or bust player. Giants need a QB for the future but you are not passing on Carter. I actually think the Steelers pass on Sanders or Dart and wait for day 3. Some team may call Denver at 20 for Sanders, thinking Pittsburgh will select him. Lots of scenarios.

The more I study Ty Robinson, the more he makes a lot of sense, if they do not take Derrick Harmon. PFF has some bullshit out there and trading Pickens for peanuts, it's a stupid trade for 3 reasons. Pair him up with Metcalf and see how that works. If you let him walk you are still getting a 3rd rounder in 2027 for compensation. Look at Baltimore, they have 4 comp picks and are only going to make their team better. Steelers had false hope before they tanked in December. Hindsight is 20-20 but trading away for a washed up Preston Smith, or he just wasn't a fit, and Mike Williams, who actually won a game for them, but nothing else.

I keep hearing Safety, Safety, Safety. At times I wonder if using a late pick on one is smart, given they already have one they like in Ryan Watts. I would rather they draft an OT, Jalen Travis is really intriguing to me. I doubt they take Charles Grant at 83, but I would. How the heck is Rudolf going to get the ball to Pickens, Metcalf if he is running for his life. Nobody knows how Fantanu will do never playing one NFL snap, and Broderick Jones may or may not be good at LT. So at 83 I like Grant, and 156 I like Travis, forget the Safety build the trenches. As I say this, watch them draft Nick Emmanwori . Me I would not use pick 21 on Starks, I think he might actually go early 2nd. And I wonder if Dallas will take Golden, their OL sucks ass and one or both Iowa State WR will be available to them in the 2nd. I am not using pick 21 on Kenneth Grant a 2 down player. The old trade back for....... only works if they find a partner. I like the Rams because it keeps you ahead of Baltimore, but KC has to retool and get Mahomes a Tackle. I also think Shough goes before Milroe. I do not want Gabriel in the 5th, I have him off my board. I also adjusted my board, looking at OT, and some of these dudes are freaking penalty machines.

 

It’s draft Eve who you guys pounding the table for ? I’m thinking Harmon but after the Eagles run DT will be viewed as a premium position. I think Nolan is underrated see lots of mocks where he falls out of round 1 but I am rethinking that. I got him as DT3 . I’d rather take him than Mike Green because one sexual accusation is ? But 2 is a pattern getting pressure from your DT is huge, that is why Hargrave was so valuable .

 

I’d be happy with any of the three of Harmon, Nolan, or Grant. I believe they are all week 1 starters (alongside Heyward and Benton) just not sure at NT or DE

 

…but for the love of god, absolutely no QB in round 1 (or 2).

 

Dart and Sanders are projects Grant, Harmon, Nolan closer to
Plug & play. Steelers also signed Thornhill so Safety is t as pressing as OL and CB

 

Merrill Hoge has Dart and McCord ahead of Sanders. I trust him more than Kiper saying Sanders is a top 5 pick and QB2. Read the article on Steelers Depot.
Depot has a 7 round mock out, my man Charles Grant going 64 to Philly. I am telling you guys, I have not had this gut since Terron Armstead.
Browns and Giants are getting calls for picks 2 and 3. Sirius 88 Solomon Wilcots and Todd Haley discussed this on Sirius 88 this morning on my way to my chemo. They don't think Jeanty gets past 5, I can see that and teams also love Travis Hunter.
Speaking of guys named Travis, there is a lot of guys with that name, and Jaylin and Josh as well. -
I am not saying Cam Skatebo will be a bust, but what concerns me is his lack of using his brains. Well that means he uses his head too much, concussions may sideline him, and he once injured a teammate, that is just boneheaded.
Charles Davis has one QB going in round 1 in his mock. I'm buying it.
Cleveland is taking Tyler Shough at 33 I can feel it. Hey they took a 28 year old Brandon Weeden, age means nothing to that war room.
I think Kirk Cousins gets traded, I want to say New Orleans but that means an interdivision trade and it's almost Taboo to do that. I am not in the Cousins camp, I think his best days are behind him.
KC is not farting around waiting for sloppy seconds with Ersery or Conerly they will move up for Josh Simmons. Again with that pick at 63 Kahn would consider moving back to 31 unless someone unexpectedly fell.
Bengals, not sure if they started caring about character, but the name Mike Green might be their pick. Allegations suggest something is there, but I don't know the kid or have all the facts so make your own call.
Speaking of Allegation, Not sure who is taking a shot with Isiah Bond, but he's dropping like Enron Stock on National Boards. In the fall he was a fringe first round pick.
Turd McShart (McShay) is on a second-rate site called The Ringer that charges for articles. Um no thanks. Quick glance at the free shit, his top 50, he has Tet McMillian as his WR7 behind Golden, Egbuka, Noel, Burden, Higgins, Harris.

 

How would you rank this group?

 

Trade Trade Trade, 3 DL 2OL FIX the trenches. Actually I would have taken a CB earlier or an edge instead of a third DT.

 

Or not. lol

 

Odds of Steelers taking one of these positions in round 1.

DL 60% Harmon, Grant, Nolen
RB 20% Hampton Henderson
WR 10% Emeka Egbuka, maybe Golden falls?
S 5% think of the 30 visits a guy from S. Carolina.
CB 5% if a certain Wolverine is sitting there.

 

Golden dyanmic, speed, runs good routes, big play ability

Egbuka every team needs a reliable WR2, This guy blocks, brings his lunch pail, you are never
going to have any off the field shit with him.

McMillan The talent is there, the size, the production, but his interviews were mixed.

Burden best guy with YAC, he can shake and bake like Betty Crocker.

Higgins 3 drops in 210 targets, excellent route runner with size.

Bech he is the next Puca Nakua

Noel You wanna throws deep, he has 8 catches over 50 yards.
