The Official 2022 NFL Draft thread (NO SPOILERS)

That's only funny because that's exactly what I was just thinking. LoL

 

Danny Gray gone

 

OK....over for tonight. Have a Great night Gentlemen.

 

I figured it was a no brainer.

 

What position would he play in a 43? Looks like a 34 DE to me

 

Brandon Smith and Darrian Beavers still available at ILB.

Daniel Faalele is still available at Tackle.

If the Steelers want to double dip at WR Justyn Ross is still there as well.

Plenty of players still available. There's a good chance somebody falls.

 

Absolutely. There are multiple streamers bringing in multiple millions of dollars a year playing video games, live streaming their lives and competitions, etc. They get tons of ad revenue due to the sheer number of eyes watching them stream. They all have sponsors (whether its a yearly contract or just for a handful of videos. Its really big money. Twitch, Youtube, etc. Its where all the young people spend their time instead of reading the paper, listening to the news on the radio or watching TV programs.

 

I agree. I too think Pickett is ready to compete. If Pickens doesn't see playing time with our WR room, then its on him for not being able to contribute. He has almost no competition at all for the WR3 role. Leal is definitely a rotational player to start. Even if Tuitt isn't back, Wormley and Loudermilk are going to get the most DE snaps. Leal can contribute where he can, and hopefully grow as a player and his role as the year continues.

Look for Joey Blount to be taken by the Steelers at some point tomorrow. Probably going to add a corner and a LB somewhere as well. Wouldn't be shocked to see a RB in there too.

 

I mean, would you consider Anthony Harris and average to above average S? What about Kareem Jackson?

 

Maybe I don't know what a Video Game Streamer is. You are making it sound like they are competing, but I didn't think that was what a Streamer was.

My little nephews watch YouTube videos of people playing video games. They talk to the audience and give them directions and stuff. The ones I watched were not even from the USA. They are not competing against anyone just playing and talking about how they are playing. My nephews would watch these YouTube videos for hours. They wanted to watch other people playing more than they wanted to play themselves. I don't get it. Watching some guy from Australia building a house and talking about how he is building it. Just crazy to me.

 

I want a NT so effin bad. Alualu went down and our run defense went down the crapper. It isn't a coincidence.

Not every 3-4 DE we draft can play inside at NT. I don't know why they can't see that?


also, I find it interesting no day 2 DB taken. This might mean Haden comes back?

 

Some of them are professionals on gaming teams. Others are just streamers bc of their personality. Sounds like you're nephews are watching the latter. But yeah, just playing video games and interacting with the live chat. Some are known for their game knowledge and others for just being entertaining (some are loud, crazy, eccentric personalities). But lots of kids/young adults are trying to make money streaming. The guy who was mentioned (Dr. Disrespect) is known for the character he plays. I think the moustache is real, but the hair and headband (as well as his schtick) is all fake.

I am like you though... I don't get wanting to watch instead of playing the game. I understand watching tutorials if you're actually trying to learn the game, or learn a skill like the house you are watching being built.... but yeah watching a game you don't play makes little sense to me.

 

Both of those guys are in their 30s. That alone makes them irrelevant in comparison to Edmunds.

 

Exactly, I don't even think my nephews own these games that they are watching.

 

First three picks so far are all in Gil Brandt’s top 66 players in his pre-draft rankings of the top 100 prospects. Not too shabby.

 

Agreed with Joey Blount.


As for the CB or LB?! Tariq Woolen seems to be a name that is flying under the radar for the team. Brandon Smith though?! Very intriguing piece of clay to work with; doubly so given the fact that both Brian Flores and Jerry O can work with him.

 

Teryl Austin already said they want Leal to put on some weight, if Tuitt returns Leal probably won't play much.

 

At this point Edmunds will be the starter at SS.

 

Pickens will likely be their #3 WR, he's too talented, and he's a good blocker.

 

Nah, he will play DE, they will get him to put on weight.

 

Bills>Titans

 

Do t think we'd have drafted him.

WR room is pretty stacked now.

 

I never said character issues. I said maturity.

Your threshold for nonsense is higher than mine. I'm not looking for chiorboys. Im looking for guys with the ability to be professional.
