    Just one QB pick in the final stages of the draft and some have come in from the ledge. LOL

    Agree, many here on the ledge ready to jump and oh the depression
    It’s like they can’t see the forest for the trees Because that ONE player is not picked Right Now, they miss all the great picks we did take. Then in the end, days later, that ONE is taken and now the forest clears and they finally see all those solid picks. Emotional responses, it’s Wild Man! Some case studies on perception over reality. Crazy!!!

    The more I research the pick, the more I like it.

    And he's a 6th rounder.

    There is absolutely nothing keeping them from drafting a QB next year also.

    Like I said before, QBs are rare and you'll miss more than you hit.

    This goes for Cam Ward also.

    Where’s the DB and OL help coming from? Did we really upgrade at RB?

    This is from the guy who wrote that he hoped the Steelers would "grow some balls and draft Howard in the first round" (I found the post and quoted it below.) Instead, they found some brains and took him in the sixth round. You know what is unintelligent? Wasting a first-round pick on a guy you can get in the sixth round.

    It's possible, though some of that depends on how much Flacco has left.

    I think they changed that so you can defer your active service until later, but not 100% sure on that

    My son texted kind of upset, I told him the best sex is not the best looking, its the one who can do it best, lol. This was never a sexy draft from the get go, but we filled some depth and possibly some good future starters.

    Not sure either, David Robinson got to serve in the reserves when drafted in the NBA, of course he grew so tall he could not serve on a ship lol

    I like what they got, assuming Harmon's shoulder isn't an issue. They needed to upgrade the defensive line, especially getting big guys who can stop the run. They needed a running back. Sawyer seems like he was too good of a value to pass up. Metcalf may have cost a big too much money, but they needed the upgrade at receiver. I like Howard as a dart throw at quarterback.

    I don't like them ignoring the offensive line and secondary, but you can't address everything.

    True.

    That said, having 35 inch arms with an 84 inch wingspan mitigates the lack of leverage a bit. Him adding another 15lbs wouldn't be too difficult for him either. That said, he is fine at 335lbs imo for he is nigh immovable at the point of attack.


    Major, major upgrade as a NT.

    What a shock, Philly got Cameron Williams. He'll be a pro bowler in 3 years.

    They drafted 3 OL last year, Khan said this year it was going to be about the DL. They could use another DB but they did sign 3 guys in free agency.

    Agreed and there's an OL or two or a DB coming in the 7th.
