Steelers Draft and Mel Kiper sucks thread!!

I think you can forget about Xavier Rhodes.

MOS,

KNile Davis has several injuries. But if he put up those numbers at the combine it is a sign he is healing. NObody thougt twice about taking Lattimore, I see not difference in the risk here. The thing to notice though, is the kid James out of Miami, really way under the radar right now.

Especially it being the Jets, whom almost seem to be rebuilding or reloading, QB troubles, need ass rushers, need a CB, WR, RB, it's a team that needs a lot.

 

NYB, it looks like our top guy according to your short list in your PM will be there. 10:00 AM tomorrow.

 

CT out of FSU as a late round guy....he was having an unbelievable yr until he tore his ACL 91-687-5 and 21-248 in receptions....better than Rainey.

 

I was really liking Walters mock for the Steelers for once, until I saw this guy mocked to us, this is one guy I will not be pounding anything for;

Pittsburgh Steelers: Denard Robinson, RB/WR/KR, Michigan
Rashard Mendenhall won't be back next year and Jonathan Dwyer isn't viewed as a starter per reports, so the Steelers will need to find a new running back.

Please stop mocking this guy to us, he is way too raw as a receiver, he most definitely will get killed as a RB, and flat out sucks as a QB. I know it is in the 6th round, let him go UDFA and then I'll say take a chance on him.

 

I took Vince Willams with our 6th round pick, I like this kid to come in and add depth at ILB.

 

1, Xavier Rhodes
2. Quinton Patton
3. Jamie Collins
4. Mike Glennon
5. Joseph Randle
6. Vince Williams
6. Rontez Miles
I got two more picks, thinking beach's kid with the Steeler Tatoo and another guy I've liked since December, sleeper pick.

 

Im liking it.....FSU guys will always make u look smart.....Timmons is a stud although now w the trade I cant see X-man falling passed the Jets w both of those picks. My guess is he goes #13.

 

I think so to. I think mingo goes 9 and Rhodes goes 13. As long as they don't take lotulelei I'm not bothered who they take. Still dreaming of star falling to 17 ha

 

No matter how you spin it, that's very damning to a franchise. Kickers don't belong in the first round even if they have legs of titanium plated in platinum. To say that's the best pick of the last 13 years is an indication of just how pathetic a franchise really is. And it has been.

 

On the Revis trade.

very costly, but the Bucs are close, I think the Jets took a step back. They got to two AFC title games with defense and a solid OLine. Now the OL is not as great and the Defense just lost too many players. The Dolphins are moving in the right direction, I think they come in second again in the AFC East.

Side note, week one is Tampa vs. NYJ, I hope Revis picks off Sanchez....... twice. Why do I hate Rex Ryan? Ok back in 2007, the Perfect Season for N.E. is playing out, it's all we hear about, they are already printintg 17-0 T shirts. Baltimore stops Brady, the dream is over. YES. oh crap wait, some idiot coach on the sideline called timeout, and Ray Ray is going apechit. That moron was Rex Ryan. And his loud mouth and the predictions he pulled out of his arse, just rubs me the wrong way.

 

I think I am in a minority with wanting him in the 6th because he can play so many positions that they have needs at. Now if he is their answer at those positions or they do not draft a WR or RB before hand it may be trouble, but he is almost like a poor man's Tavon Austin. Not to mention they need a return man.

 

how about with the comp pick in the 6th? Not much invested on Robinson. And with Randle El and HInes Ward you at least had a emergency QB that did not cost you an extra roster spot. Trying to think this thing out. I say he goes end of 5, JMFO.

 

He is a poor man's Kordell, but faster. Plus with the opportunity to return kicks is a huge plus. Also, did you forget about his game against Notre Dame in 2010 [video]http://youtu.be/r_xePqfTAi8[/video]

 

That's an understatement of the century, I wouldn't put him on the level of any receiver in this draft or any RB for that matter.

 

He did all that from the QB position, running the spread option, which is what RGIII runs in Washington.

 

Maybe running back due to his size but I would at least give him a look at receiver. He would definitely be a luxury pick, say they draft a Woods, Bailey, Swope etc. along with Robinson that allows Denard to play special teams and be the return man while developing at receiver. At the very least he offers special teams value that this team needs in the 6th.

 

Charlie Campbell's mock draft today:
1. Jarvis Jones
2. Sio Moore
3. Jonathan Franklin
4. JJ Wilcox
5. Kwame Geathers
6. Josh Boyce
6. Johnny Adams

Not bad at all but not a fan of the Geathers pick. I think people are really overlooking Ta'amu, remember this was a 1st-2nd round prospect they got in the 4th after trading up.

 

Once we get later in the draft I'm going to really be pushing hard for TJ Moe.

 

Well, I finally looked at some tape of Earl Wolf and I'm on the train... kid can wack - has great closing speed to...

enjoy,
