That's a interesting take.
I had thought about that, but I stumble over how gawd awful that organization is.
The word I've gotten is that both want to move down. But heck, there are a lot of rumors.

 

I'm all in on JP! Let's go Steelers!!

 

I actually don't have a problem with that. I think we can win with Dan Moore and Chuks. There are higher needs elsewhere.

Still, when you look at highlights of Paris Johnson or Broderick Jones it is hard not to want to upgrade. They would clear some serious lanes for NAJ.

 

I wonder what the details are ... looks like he got more money overall than Hurts.

 

Jackson extended, the only possible outcome left really. More money than Hurts.

 

Does anyone really like any of these years QB's?

 

His track record of being on point with picks is dismal. Mellon Head!

 

That's a lot of money for a running back who can't play a full season.

 

Anyone recommend a "Local" Draft Podcast or Web Radio Station?
Any recommendations for live online Podcasts or Web streamed audio like SNR for Realtime Draft coverage.

Turn the volume down on the TV and listen to a Steelers Broadcast for Steeler Info during the draft Live?

 

I really like Stroud. Seems like he'll be the 3rd or 4th guy chosen, but of all the OSU guys thar came into the league recently, he seems to be the best of that bunch.

 

Yeah I wonder what the Colts are going to do. I kind of like the Kentucky QB, Will Levis as a fit there. But Stroud would be a better selection. Hey, if the #1 is a QB, it should be him anyway. Levis you could trade back and get.

 

Ugh still have 5+ hours to wait

 

For some reason, Ohio State QBs have not panned out as worthy top picks, at least I don't recently. It would surprise me if Stroud drops in the draft maybe at 5 (minimum), though he looked very talented at Ohio State supported by two incredible WRs.

 

Yep, 2-1/2 hrs until they start and then 10 minutes max x 17 teams

 

To me it is crazy when I see a mock draft where Houston passes on Stroud at #2. Davis and Keenum as your starting QBs this year?

Peter King said Houston is very high on Hendon Hooker and Houston believes he will be there at #12 for them.

Also hoping Washington throws their hat in the ring for a QB at #16.

 

We were 20th last year and picked around 11pm.

 

you do realize these people don’t know anything?

 

Peter's mock from 4/24. I watched this podcast, because I read how Peter's mocks were supposed to be better than Kiper or Shay because he cares more about trying to simulate what the team will do than pushing players up their draft boards that teams are not interested.

Spoiler Alert: And then he has the Steelers take a WR at #17 to disapprove all the praise he was receiving for putting out a more realistic draft.

The Podcast I watched was over an hour long; only to watch the Steelers draft a WR was damn near hilarious for me.

Both Banks and Wright were still on the board when the Steelers picked at #17.
