    Our drive killing achilles heal, the false start. usually good for when we are starting at the 10 after a hold on a punt fair catch. Maybe that **** will be done with now. Give me a dominant line like the Boys had in the 90's.

    Same as last year except seamalu at LG. I don’t think this kid will start immediately. He is immensely talented, but doesn’t have his pass pro technique dialed in just yet. That’s just my two cents.

    Really? I thought he was off our board.

    If Brian Bresee makes it to 32, we not gonna trade that pick

    We're you surprised Van Ness went that high?

    The HC needs a leader for his D. Maybe he reached for that.

    If you had told me before the draft started that the Steelers traded up to get Jones and all it cost them was their fourth-round draft pick, I would have been happy. My concern with trading up for one of the tackles was the cost would be too high, which it wasn't.

    Now I'm a little disappointed. Yes, Jones makes a lot of sense. He could be a hell of a player at a position of need and this is a very deep draft at cornerback. I just thought Gonzalez is the better player and he would have been a fantastic value. Also, the Patriots did very well there, getting Gonzalez and the fourth-round pick.

    Lots of cornerback needy teams coming up, I am hoping Porter Jr. does not go to Baltimore or Cincy!

    You people do know Qbs get injured, and it's not always the OL fault. Tua has been injured every year He's played....So at Alabama, and Miami His OL has sucked. Lamar Jackson has been hurt last two years....I guess it's all the OL fault. You do know Qbs do make bad choices.

    Was hoping him or Campbell would drop to us in the 2nd but not surprised to see them go this round.

    I agree. If he was 20-25 pounds heavier he’d have been the consensus number 1 corner. Amazing game film

    For sure. Obviously everyone has heard the whole "never started a game" thing but usually they want a distinguished college career for a first rounder. However, the dude is a worker and you're not getting any lazy dudes out of Iowa. Word on the street is he's a one trick pony with his pass rush and is better inside than out but we shall see.

    You’re right, we shouldn’t bother trying to protect him then, just go to the local grocery store and get a bunch of baggers.

    We'll get your corner at 49 and possibly 80. Relax, we got your back :)
