Steelers Draft and Mel Kiper sucks thread!!

If Gurley wasn't injured last season, he would easily be a top 10 pick. He is a lot better than Gordon even coming off the ACL injury.

 

Right now...and I am admittedly behind the curve on my draft studies...these are the two guys I am most excited about at #22. Either one would be fine with me.

 

Anyone got some BOLD Predictions, or "my guy" is going ________

30 of 32 teams were represented in Northern Iowa yesterday. David Johnson will not make it to day 3, he's my guy.

He may go in round 5 but I am telling you I will bang the table for Kenny Bell. Two other WR who are probaly going to be good pro's, Justin Hardy, Tre' McBride.

I like Quenten Rollins over Eric Rowe. Maybe the Steelers do as well, but the local affiliates have this an crush on Rowe. I will stick with what I saw and know, Rollins iby year 3 will be the better pro. Don't forget he had ONE YEAR of NCAA football after being a standout point guard. In that one year he was the MAC Defensive player of the year. Who was the MAC DPOY, last year, Kahlil Mack. Who's records did Mack shatter?? Terrell Suggs. My point, the MAC is way under-rated and is a gold mine for NFL talent if you know what you are looking for. cough Big Ben, cough.

The OT from Wisconsin will disappoint, no uppper body strength, Haverstein that is. But if the Steelers want a middle round OT/OG to come in and push guys like Cody Wallace, I would draft Sean Hickey out of Syracuse.

sorry beach, Eli Harold is going in round one. The only way that does not happen, if there is a run on CB, OL, or WR in the teens and twenties.

Byron Jones will be a good NFL cornerback, wehre he gets drafted will depend on how he runs next Tuesday in Connecticut and bow his shoulder checks out. I am telling you guys he is better than the other UConn DB's not named Tyvon Branch.

There will be a run on RB's in round 2. Some team will reach up and grab Jay Ajahi and then there will be a total of 4-5 backs in the second round causing a Domino Effect. It's a deep class but if you like him in round 3, and they are flying off the board, there will a dominoi effect. JMFO.

3 out of 4 picks before Pittsburgh, will p1ss us off. Kansas City, Cleveland, Philly, Cincy. We will all be excited, talking in codes as to not jinx us, hoping this guy falls to 22... and then from 18-21 we will be pacing back and forth. Then in round 2 it will get worse, especially if they do not go CB in round one, in the 40-55 range at least 4 CB will come off the board, that is how they grade out.

 

Not sure if you heard - Our comp pick is no longer a 7th rounder.. it's a 6th rounder.. Things never change under the Goodell regime... SNAFU

yep - I think I read O-ziggy had 2 (not just one but 2) hip surgeries? no thanks.. *REF*

Question - with the Heinz/Kraft food merger and the combination of all the yellow seats at the stadium - will Heinz field be renamed: THe CHeese Bowl?

Not sure but Kraft for the Patriots is the chessiest owner. Every time be's on tv I feel like I need to take another shower.

ANother WR that was under the radar until the combine is Chris Conley. Georgia's QB and offensive style was a factor in his low production. Titus Davis broke a lot of records at Central Michigan , besting Antonio Brown . (Something that carries some thought)

 

I second that. Two hip surgeries at his young age is a giant red flag.

 

O-Diggy is the BPA who fits what Colbert said his goals were for the offseason - to fix the pass rush. Even with Harrison back, Diggy could the the first of two OLBs they draft. Is he the most productive pass-rusher? Of course not. Is he a gym rat, like Harrison? Based on his physique, obviously. The kid has good character and works hard. Is he a force against the run? Not only is he, but I say he's the most immovable force against the run among all edge rushers in this draft. We draft him and place him on the left side, and it won't be long before no one will be able to run off right tackle against us. In our division, that would be a tremendous boon. No, he wasn't a very productive pass rusher from a numbers standpoint, but based on his display of physical talent and attitude, he can be coached well. I'd count on him to rack up 8 or 9 sacks a season based on his 2014 season prolonged into 16 games.

Marcus Peters has major character red flags, and that's not counting the questions I have regarding his fit in our scheme. We don't know for sure exactly what defense Kevin Butler will run, but Peters is untested in zone and impatient in press, often opening up too soon in that regard. What he does well is carry himself with confidence and intimidate receivers with the threat of laying the wood. He can potentially redirect every receiver he faces, and he wins most contested passes. However, he just isn't polished, which wouldn't be a problem with most players, but I have legitimate concerns about his ability to ever be coached up in the NFL.

I'll spoil it early by saying Todd Gurley goes first in my second round. I know he's climbing draft boards, and honestly I think he's the best RB in this class by a country mile, but I also think Arians will look at Gordon as similar to Willie Parker and Mendenhall when they were producing in his offense. Other teams simply choose to address other needs first - the Chargers, for example, badly need a new left tackle, and Peat is local to them and there for the taking.

 

The Steelers are on NFL Network's Path to the draft right now

 

I'm betting they are NOT spot on. Undoubtedly they will give them a head scratcher i wont see it until later on i have it on DVR

 

U

Demo,

Meh 2 hip surgeries vs. Hated new coaching staff, po-tato or po- toto, both concerns. How about Preston Smith for a LOLB? I have him pretty high on my board. If ONLY Dupree lasts... Problem solved.

 

How about a Superstition mock with Voodoo Dolls? We have struck gold with some schools and totally tanked with others. Any takers? Applies to drafts 2004-present . *WRITE*

 

Each host gave a different pick so there were 4 different selections for the Steelers

I just looked at the mock drafts on nfl.com and they have different players selected there than they gave on Path to the Draft

 

Not only that but everywhere i have looked they have said his weakness is pass rush.

 

He's Woodley 2.0. He won't run by too many people but he'll beat the snot out of the guy across from him. Like Woodley his bull rush will set up the outside move as the OT begins to set early.

 

Geez no takers ?? How about DO NOT DRAFT A CB IN ROUND 5 ! *REF*

 

Round 5...Marcus Rush DE/OLB Michigan state

 

I was thinking Baylor University..... Y-OUCH on some of the players we drafted out of the school that shall not be named...

You may want to re-think this one, Demo. *HIGH*
