The official 2023 NFL draft thread (no spoilers)

Who?

 

But the janitor says he sucks at the 3-cone drill; he wipes out every time on the wet floor.

 

So when do you think new guys get handed the playbook to start studying

And I’m guessing it is no longer a 3 ring binder

 

I would say they don't actually get the real one yet.

 

Teams started switching from printed playbooks to iPads a decade ago. I'm not sure if anybody still uses a printed one. I was surprised to find out how long ago the switch started happening.

Very interesting

Do you think the new guys would have just got these at OTAs or whatever they just had

Thanks for the link

 

Like I said before the draft Washington could be like having a 6th OL on the field.

 

I imagine they gave them devices at OTAs. I doubt the playbook is web-based, which would allow them to open it on any device. I am guessing it is hard-wired into the iPad, which they may not even be able to connect to the internet.

 

I didn't say it was a groundbreaking take, but I was one of the first ones on here to say the Steelers should draft him .

 

Not going to mention names (since I would actually have to do the research and go and look) but there were those in the Bill Nunn Draft Room arguing we had to take him in the first, or Cincinatti would and we'd have to fact him twice a year.

 

KP developed eyes in the back of his head toward the end of the season. But he was still going to pay the price against stiffer competition - the Steelers coaches realized that. JP Jr was a great pickup but BJ is going to pay the biggest dividends this season

 

I was thinking they could get him at #32, I never thought he would fall to the third round, it worked out well for the Steelers .

 

With Porter there, I knew it would never happen. Lot of mocks I did had us taking Porter at 17 and Washington at #32. Yeah, I'm happy that he was there in the third, even after we traded down.
