Steelers Draft and Mel Kiper sucks thread!!

I disagree about him being the last RB that can give 20+ touches. There are at least two more. That being said, he is the Harris replacement, though he is a different kind of back. I think he will fit Arthur Smith's offense better than Harris did. Johnson should be able to make one cut and find holes. His vision is better. I think he will make more big runs through the middle than Harris did, though he won't win Angry Runs like Harris did. Different styles.

 

3 biggest needs were DL RB QB and Steelers got 2 good players that were BPA and needs.

 

Green Bay keeps drafting WR.

Nobody needs a Safety huh? +-

 

Those are probably the top 3, but I would add OT to that list of needs.

 

Joel Klatt, it's a meeting that didn't go the right way

No Scooter, it was 32 bad meetings.

 

ok maybe "my guy" will be there at 123.

 

FUCK.

 

Well, maybe the OT will still be there...

 

I feel like when they find the BIG W and then Spencer Tracey tells him he's a cop.

 

I think they could go QB in the 4th, but my OT I have rated very high.

 

Well eventually they will draft or sign a QB cannot go into camp with 2 dudes.

 

QB Browns

 

I don’t like the Johnson pick, he runs a 4.57 he might have vision but it would’ve been nice to get a home run hitter than a guy that is Najee but better vision.

 

Why the heck is Sanders falling so far??

 

Track speed is different than game speed. Same 40 time as Kamara

 

have you seen any tape on him or live games? Has he had very many break away runs?

 

I didn't mean to imply that Johnson and Harris are the same, rather that Johnson was signed as a Harris replacement. The RB in this draft who is Harris with better vision and decisiveness would be Damien Martinez. Watch Martinez run and you would swear you were watching Harris, except he is more sudden moving through the line. Johnson moves very differently.

 

Ah, drat. I was hoping that OT would fall-- though I know I can't depend on that.

 

He had 7 carries over 50 yards in 3 seasons.

 

Home-run speed a la Willie Parker is great. But I'd rather my no. 1 back can effectively and consistently move the chains and gain first downs. A lot of the pure speed guys can't do that, which is why they are usually better as complimentary backs.
