2013 Steelers Draft Discussion Thread [No Spoilers]

this has to be the longest 4th-7th round part of the draft i've ever sat through.

 

I just watched some highlights for Landry Jones from youtube...dude had some dang good WRs that made him look good. I'm afraid they picked the wrong QB. I also looked up some stuff from Zac Dysert...looks like more of a Ben type QB to me. We should have waited for him or even Bray.

 

the 4rd round killed me , we trade up and betwen our two picks went 3 players we could have targeted before jones , (wilson qb , barret ol and webb cb ), and we took that qb that he scared about his shadow

 

I HATE that the Ratturds picked Simon! Man, I really loathe those guys. I'm sure Hairball has that pompous smirk on his face as I type this and he's probably thinking about how much this pick of Simon really ticks us Steeler fans off. The big jerk!

 

Well thats a start that two should see immediate results. If our defensive coaches can't get something out of the safety and DB then IMHO nobody can! We do have the greatest defensive coach of all time and a pretty good secondary coach

 

I disagree on Jones not seeing the field next year. I think he can compete with Worilds. Worilds only has 1 year left so we are not invested in him at all. I wouldn't be shocked if Jarvis competes for the starting job.

As for Shamarko, he's gonna be a huge special teamer this year in my opinion.

 

I agree completely

 

If Rambo is still there when our pick comes around they better grab him!

 

Yep this guy seems to be an interception machine.

 

I didn't say he won't see the field. Jones is very good at rushing the QB there's no doubt about that. However, he's pretty average against the run/shedding blocks and he needs to add some bulk/strength. Barring injury Woodley and Worilds will be our starting OLBers.

 

I was just reading about his character issues. He was suspended for a game because a girl in his car had a joint in her purse(I know that one all to well). Then suspended 4 games for testing positive for weed. His story about the failed drug test is during spring break he woke up hungry went into the kitchen and found some brownies. Then proceeded to eat two of them which of course turned out to be pot brownies. It's such a stupid freaking story and absolutely no way to cover your ass that I tend to believe it. Even if I didn't believe the story I would bet more college kids have smoked than not smoked. Basically weed is such a non-issue to me that I couldn't possibly care less.

 

I missed what traded in 4th. What was the trade?

 

We traded next years 3rd to Cleveland and drafted Shamarko Thomas(S).

 

Our 3rd from next year. The thinking is we will get a 3rd (Wallace) and maybe a 4th (Lewis) in comp pics next year

 

Browns trade the No. 111 pick to the Steelers for a 2014 third-round pick. The Steelers use the pick on Syracuse safety Shamarko Thomas.

 

Thanks

 

i think we traded with miami , that had the browns pick (for bess)

 

yep. according to the nfl.com draft tracker, the Steelers got that pick from the Dolphins through the Browns

 

I hated Eifert to the Bungles too. I agree that we are having a strong draft, though.

 

This 4 are still on board:
Jordan Poyer CB (not likely, after drafting Hawthorne)
Da'Rick Rogers WR (we always seem to take good late-round WRs)
Reid Fragel OT (backup need)
Michael Mauti MLB (future Foote's replacement?)

My guess is Fragel or Mauti
