Steelers Draft and Mel Kiper sucks thread!!

I hope your right in dobbs. Time will tell tho.

I really like what your ravens have done, your gonna have a great defence once this class gets a year or two under its belt.

 

Steelers did pretty good over the last couple of years so they were due for a terrible draft year and this one I believe going to be it

 

Desmond king would make me a happy man if we can get him in the fifth round.

Could live with hodges too.

 

I wouldn't write this draft off yet.

Watt will be ok and Sutton will be an improvement in the slot.

Juju is a good receiver too and will complement the other receivers as a more physical WR, the only issue I had with him was that we didn't need a WR.

 

I am by no means a draft expert, but in general, you are not drafting for this season, but one or two seasons down the road. I don't get too hung up on positions drafted, I am a bigger fan of BPA.

 

Juju has a big head and is a diva.

Watt may end up neing good and i think
Dobbs will be an ok backup QB.

I'm hoping Shaquille Griffin hasn't been taken yet and the Steelers use their head and grab him

 

I agree prag but what have the Steelers done to help them this year and overall to help them get by the Patriots?
If this same team lines up against the Patriots again they lose.

 

He went to the seahawks a few picks before we took Sutton. Would have been interesting to see if we took him if he was still there?

I'm hoping for the cb Allen from utah.

 

Well, good luck with all you do everyone

 

Oh yeah def, I like Sutton. Thanks for the input on Dobbs as you saw him play a lot you would know. Maybe that's why they listed his foot placement when throwing as a weakness bc he was always under attack! Anyways I hope you are right and cheers for adding your input!

 

I also like the fact if I am not mistaken most of the picks so far are high character / hard working guys like Watt, Conner, Dobbs (sounds like ^). Sutton seems multitalented and haven't heard knock in character......dont know about Ju Ju but they say gen is a fierce competitor so maybe thats the theme here

 

You got him.

 

Really like the converted WR to CB pick of Steelers , Brian Allen

Oh man - GREAT VALUE

Steelers get a mid to late round gen I think.


6-4". Ball skills ....smart ....developing CB with over the roof ceiling

 

Tech, I read the following from NFL.com

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2017/profiles/brian-allen?id=2558237

Hopefully you are correct!

 

Perhaps I spoke too soon?

Hopefully those knocks fall under the still making the transition to CB category. Imagine the size of Artie and this kid locking down red zone route jump balls etc.

As far as tackling goes, most seem to stink in the NFL ! .....but seriously yeah gonna need to improve, right?


Oh and you can't teach 6-4" with receiver hands !

I'm still loving this 5th round pick on upside and athleticism alone!

 

I'm obviously not a Stillers fan. However I think they're having a good weekend

 

Big Bens Men, you, and I like the pick in the 5th.

Absolutely correct on the 6' 4".

If Allen can respond well to coaching, the Steelers got a steal.

 

Cool, thanks! Which picks impress you most?

 

Yeah I'm happy with this pick especially in the fifth round. Heard really good things about him. Dave Te Thomas absolutely loved this kid if you listen to the terrible podcast from midweek.

If we could somehow get hooky hodges now it would be a nice finish to the draft.

 

Yep, he's been picked in a good spot. Hopefully makes the team and improves once the coaches get their hands on him.
