Steelers Draft and Mel Kiper sucks thread!!

Judkins was gone Roc.

 

THere you go Roc, got you your RB Judkins, had to move back for Grant, missed Harmon, to position myself end of round 2. Took J.J. Pegues also he came in for a visit. Got us the QB that came in for a pre draft visit also, nowhere near the capital to get all 3 visitors so far, Wyatt Millum went 51st. Got the pair of Cal DB's, and added a wide body OG from Georgia. THe OT I wanted Logan Brown, went 117, and made the decision for me, which was already pre-determined that Pittsburgh needs a fucking QB and 119 for Shough was a no-brainer. Oladejo will be a core ST, and has some moves on the edge as a OLB. Bassa was a luxury pick, I could have made a smarter choice in Charles Grant OT, William &m Mary.

 

Am I the only one doing mocks, not getting much feedback other than NC and Stlcrtn. Depot is selling a CBN pretty hard, kid out of K State, Jacob Parrish, who went 136. I really like my 2 DB's, actually NFL.com gives Williams a 6.17. je grade, he will have to clean up the PI's but he is a ball hawk.

 

looking like Rogers contract will be in the 40 mil range and 2 years.
Najee going to the Chargers
Mittens going to Cleavland, just like the Jets, Cleavland is another place QB careers go to DIE
Daniels for 3 yrs/ 24 mil not a bad contract for the Dolphins
Dan Moore 4yrs/ 82 Mil... I guess we're about to see if what we say about the coaching is true, curious to see how these two lineman do with their new teams.

 

Rodgers is strongly considering Minnesota.
Mittens and his jelly bean hands is going to fumble a game away to Pittsburgh, mark your calendar when the schedule comes out. What did Philly get for him, a sack of magic beans?

 

I wanted Shough, but it did not work out. I'm wondering if Russ was the plan all along, and we had NFI of Kahn's plans. Again, as a fan you have to worry about the 2025 season and the continued Mediocrity, While we got TJ, Cam,. and Minkah, that window is closing. I did get the OT and DT I wanted, build the lines, but.... instead of taking a sleeper TE, I probably should have grabbed Emery Jones, I dunno just not enamored with him, and by 61 the CB room was wiped out. Going back to that, Darius Alexander was taken at 161, Eagles made a move to grab him, he would have been a steal even at 122, and double dipping at DL is one strategy that Weidl will push for. They released Okajobi so there is an opening and a need for talent backing up Benton.

 

2025 NFL User Mock Draft #6946740 | NFL Mock Draft Database

Pretty good effort, I got all 3 pre-draft visits.

 

Daniel Jeremiah's top 50: 2024 NFL Draft prospect rankings 4.0

2024 Steelers draft, the first 4 picks were all in Daniel Jerimiah's top 50. Had Fantanu and Wilson not been hurt it would have been a lot more impactful. So keep an eye on his list, he is one of the best.

 

Steelers signed Kenneth Gainwell push RB back off priority

 

Jaxson Dart at 21 ? Sign Rudolph let him start until Dart is ready. I dunno man, this dumpster diving at Happy Valley Retirement Home is frustrating. Wilson and Rodgers won super bowls, I get it. But they are a shell of themselves at this point. I don't think Tyler Shough will be there at 83, but it would be nice. Riley puked in the NCG after one series. Howard the Duck was throwing dirt balls at the combine at least Dart and Shough were slinging it. And Shough ran a 4.68. he has escapability. I was unimpressed with Brady Cook, the kid out of Indiana I actually like better, Rourke. Pittsburgh is cheap, I cannot see them going in for 45M to deal with Rodgers. Winston is another option, I like him over Mariotta. Just spit balling here, what say you guys? So Gainwell is a solid NFL proven commodity let's do another mock, cuz that's what bites does.

 

Metcalf and Gainwell wore #14, will be interesting to see if George Pickens cashes in on a bidding war.

 

I don’t think you can cast aside RB just because gainwell was signed, he’s a good viable 3rd down back/option but we need a dog, someone with good vision and can be a home run threat.

I do agree with this damn QB carousel waiting shit!! I got an idea approach Detroit about possibly trading Hendon Hooker, I really liked him in Tennessee and now that he’s sat behind Goff a couple years he knows what it takes to be the guy, let’s see what he has!! The Steelers better have learned their F’n lesson about not drafting a possible replacement for their next Franchise Guy.

 

I think Warren is your #1 back now, Gainwell will be the 2, whoever they bring in as UDFA or a 7th rounder is ok with me. I think DT and QB in the first 3 rounds has to be a priority as we sit Roc. I like that kid DJ Giddins in the 4th @ 122 unless they sign a DT or QB I would not use a day 1 or 2 pick on a RB unless they fall in love with Hampton or Jeanty falls then that tips over the apple cart. Something like Hampton, Shough, JJ Pegues. Detroit was given a lot of backlash for taking RB2 at 12, but it worked out for them.

 

As you requested Roc, made RB a priority. Got 2 DL, one run stuffer, one guy for the end. You're welcome. Article on Depot says they may be leaning towards RB. I still say go DT, stop the fucking run. Also Depot got it right, I stole their thunder, D.J. Giddens visiting Pittsburgh as part of the 30 allowed to tour the facility.

 

the later rounds are where I struggle when doing mocks.

 

Steelers sign CB Darius Slay (1 year, $10 million)
