Steelers Draft and Mel Kiper sucks thread!!

Out of the last 19 7th round picks, I think 4 have played more than one year, 2 have played more than two years. Brett Keisel and Kelvin Beachum.

 

60. Cody Prewitt, S, Mississippi, 6-2 220. Huge safety, this might be a bit low for him.
76. Anthony Harris, S, Virginnia, 6-1 190. Good player, albeit a little light for the Steelers perhaps
79. Ifo Ekpre-Olumi, CB, Oregon, if not injured he would be hired, but he is not a Steeler typical CB either.
84. Lynden Trail, DE, Norfolk State, 6-6, 260. Athletic project that needs to be coached up, big upside.
91. Durrell Eskridge, S, Syracuse, 6-3 207, long and rangy Safety. Steelers have a history with Syracuse.
93. Justin Cox, S, Mississippi State, 6-2, 190. Long safety needs to put on weight.
96. Kurtis Drummond, Michigan State, 6-1 200 Both Tomlin and Colbert were at his pro day, not just for Waynes.
97. Sean Hickey, OT/OG, Syracuse, 6-5 307. Steelers were at his pro day and worked him out.
99. Zach Waggenmann, OLB, Montana Grizz, 6-4 250. HIgh effort guy who has some pass rushing skills
102. Tre' McBride, WR, William & Mary, 6-0 210. Tomlin's alma mater. A real good mid round steal JMFO.
103. Travis Racitti, DT, San Jose State, 6-5 290. Versitala DL player who would be a fit in Pittsburgh
107. Ladarius Gunter, CB, Miami (FL), 6-2 195. big cover guy, terrible 40 at the combine, pro day is 4/1
108. Jacoby Glenn, CB, Central Florida, 6-0 180. lean corner from a smaller school, cannot eliminate any CB in this draft
109. Jeff Luc, ILB/FB, Cincinatti, 6-1 251. A thumper that also worked out at FB at his pro day.
110. John Crockett, RB, North Dakota State, 6-0 202. Very productive, better numbers than David Johnson actually, could be a day 3 pick by Colbert.
111. Corey Crawford DE Clemson, 6-5 270, looks the part, his tape disputes it.
112. Terry Williams, NT, East Carolina, 6-1 353. Kid is a HOUSE.
113. Marcus Rush, OLB, Michigan State, 6-2 243. Just added to this board, may move him up, he tested very well and Tomlin and Colbert were in attendance.
119. Cam Thomas, CB, Western Kentucky, 6-1 190. His pro day was 3/18 I don't see much info on that. He has length but was torched in the bowl game,
121. Titus Davis, WR, Central Michigan, 6-1, 197, Broke all of Antonio Brown?s records. Does not have the quickness however may struggle to get separation .
122. Quashawyne Buckely, DT, Idaho, 6-1 305. Good burst off the ball, his level of competition is what will be in question.
123. Ellis McCarthy, DT, UCLA, 6-3 330. Mountain of a man, probably a pure NT.
124. Zach Vigil, LB, Utah, 6-2 245. When you put on tape this kid shows up, not hard to find him. Plays stiff however, needs to be dropped lower.

Henry Anderson is off the board.

 

Nice pick for the Eagles.

 

So is 116 Poutasi. (Or whatever his name is)

 

Fixed it

 

66 is gone

 

Cincy has picked. Steelers are on the clock for their last pick of the 2015 draft.

 

Gerod Holliman-- Safety

 

Another 30 second pick, they knew who they wanted. And it's time for dinner.

 

GEROD HOLLIMAN

 

Lake will teach Holliman to tackle, but he can do what our DB's almost never did, PICK OFF PASSES

 

The Steelers' draft is complete. Time to contact free agents.

Holliman isn't the safety I'd have gone for, but in the 7th you take a stab.

 

Yeah, he isn't the big guy but he plays like one.

 

Nice pick for the Lions.

 

I hope so. Holliman is certainly a ball-hawk, as is Golson. The Steelers went for guys who make turnovers-- which is not a bad thing in itself.

 

Okay, been a pretty good draft. We're all unsatisfied with some of them but I don't see any huge misses. I'm outta here fellas, I'll enjoy the analysis later.

 

We;ll have to see who is left as free agents, both Syracuse kids are out there , right?

 

Tre McBride goes to Tennessee.

 

Colbert just noted they were coming out of the second round with a corner regardless. Tried to trade of for Golson. Makes me feel better (though of course he'd say that now)
