    This thread is comical. People need to relax because they didn't pick "your guy" or because "so and so" was still on the board. Meanwhile I'm watching the guys announce and most of them are Pro bowlers for theirs teams and many were UDFA's or 4th round picks.

    Oh I think so! I'll be accepting accolades at the end of next season, watch and learn grass hoppers :thumbs_up:

    I think Red goes.

    I have searched like crazy and can't find anything specific except a hamstring injury, which isn't a big deal, yet I keep hearing how teams are avoiding him due to "serious medical concerns." Something is obviously wrong with the guy for him to continue to fall

    dont know for sure but i think alot of it is his style. that spin move he does will get him killed in the nfl and he does it everytime he carries the ball it seems like. he just doesnt have alot of tape cause he was behind ingram and richardson and split time this year with yeldon. that is my guess

    Michael, my man. Why the heck did Seattle take him? Just took Turbin last year.

    Who knows...some of Carroll's picks have been odd and out of nowhere....remember Irvin last year?

    Man I know we need a wr but if we pick Simon this round I will do a jig, think we would be having an excellent draft.

    Been reading some stuff and it looks like a common knock on Bell is that he takes too long to get to the line of scrimmage. Thats exactly what we do NOT need. That is precisely why Mendenhall never achieved what he should have... well that and injuries.

    Damn, Chiefs got Kelce- a guy I really liked. I had hoped his stock would suffer due to his suspension a couple years back, but no such luck. Best run blocking TE in the league.

    Bell is 6'2 240 lbs who has quick feet for a big back and he's a 3 down RB who can catch. Some teams were worried about Lacy's health he had hamstring problems after last season.

    The Steelers like Ohio State players, especially defensive players. Colbert said the Buckeyes defense is the most comparable college defense to the Steelers.

    haha, I was just about to say something about that.

    For everyone complaining about this draft see our mock. It's the third round and this guy is still around. Goes to show how much we really know about evaluating players or are we just drinking whatever the media is pouring down our throats.

    This from Wexell:

    Jarvis Jones just stopped by. Cool dude. Pittsburgh will like his personality. ... On playing against Le'Veon Bell once: "H-u-u-u-g-e, man."

    I love that this guy is a monster yet is fast, can cut and nimble on is feet. He'll run over you or around you.
