Steelers Draft and Mel Kiper sucks thread!!

It really would have been nice if NFL-N could have shown us highlights or given us insights on the last seven players selected.

Can't do that during draft coverage though. What a crazy idea that would be! Just gotta keep talking about Michael Sam, because so many people around the country have been watching NFL-N for the last seven hours, just waiting for them to show that video ONE MORE TIME !

 

Ok it's late, I need sleep. Have a good night and it was fun.

well good luck with that.

The most watched draft because Johnny Asshat is a media magnet but the format blows over 3 days. They need to dump Radio City, second weekend of May is for MOthers day. Speaking of which I am outta here for a while, not very happy with the backend of the draft.

UDFA tracker, interestred in Howard Jones for one.

Steelers I know so far, UDFA:

Mizzou TE Eric Waters

Chris Elkins C Youngstown State

Josh Mauro DE Stanford

Devon Carrington S Stanford

Howard Jones LB Sheperd?

Brandon Kay QB Cincinnati

 

Jones was high on the Steelers big board here. They also took him at the end of the 6th in the mock.

Jacksonville scored
Stephen Morris QB Miami
Allen Hurns WR Miami
Marcel Jensen TE Fresno State
Craig Loston S LSU
Christian Jones LB Florida State

 

Well I'll go out on a limb and say this class wont beat the -'74 class - their safe another year as being the best class the Steeler's ever drafted...

And McCullers wont make it out of training camp, in fact he may not make the fitness run day on of camp.

Howard Jones, I am telling you know, I like the pickup,, I just knew, and he was not in for a visit, and I had no information the Steelers were interested, I just had one of those hunches.

 

A few more
Florida A&M defensive end Frank Mays, DE Florida A&M
Daytawion Lowe, S, Oklahoma State
Kevin Graf, OL, USC
Donald Hawkins, G, Texas
John Fulton CB Alabama
Blake Annen TE Cincinnati

 

I'm seriously torn on the McCullers pick. They needed a big guy like that for depth but is he too big?

 

Size has nothing to do with it.. Have you seen him play...? He can't... at the senior bowl or shrine game he Looked awful.

You can time him with a sun dial just getting off at the snap...

enjoy,

There is a video on Steelers.com where John Mitchell talks about him. He says they will probably try to get him down to 320 lbs. max. He says McCullers has the ability to play inside or outside. We'll see. It seems like they picked more projects than usual, but maybe that's just because I didn't get as many of "my guys" as usual.
