My take on the Jones pick.

Oh yeah, no doubt. Thats a lot more important and gets overlooked. It reminds me of the people that say Bell is a slow RB. His 10 yard split was only slower than Christine Michael in the draft class. That means he has pretty good explosion, and I'm much more interested in explosion than long speed. At least for positions like olb and rb.

 

If Woodley is cut after this year, the Steelers will have about 14 million in dead money.

Worilds and Woodley were both injured last year. The current backups are a huge question imo.

The pick is ok to me.

 

I didn't mean they would cut him. I am implying that they let Woodley play out the 2014 year and then don't resign him while resigning Worilds after the 2013 season.

 

Part of me wonders if we would have taken Vacarro had he been on the board. Ah well, absolutely no point playing 'what ifs'.

Really, though, this draft is all about the middle to late rounds for us. We need to shore up so many positiions, no one pick is going to be the answer. OLB was one position that needed looking at, so I'm good with this pick.

 

Neither Timmons or Woodley started their rookie year Timmons was behind Farrior and Foote but Woodley got some playing time off the bench.

 

"If you want to crown them then crown them!" Haha yeah right the bungles will never comapre to us. Every team can get good from time to time but we compete almost every year

 

Apparently, Jones has run a 4.74 in the past. The Pro Day workout was coming off a hamstring injury so that could be part of the deal.

 

this situation is good for jones he's gon play a lil if he shines then he'll play more. This reminds me of the timmons situation alot of us thought he was a bust they developed him and now he is a MONSTER for us this same scenario might be the plan depth is what is needed which now we seem to have.I do agree woodley gon hafta step it up but his job is safe contingent on stellar play if these youngsters pan out then he may trade meat

 

He's not a Woodley replacement, he's a JH replacement.
He's not a Woodley type LB, but he is a JH type LB.

Good pick

 

Nah, that's not it. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that Tomlin and Colbert told him to hold back a little on that 40 time so we'd have a shot at him.

 

Woodley isn;t gona get anytime soon, I dont kno where this info is coming from, but i bet my lst $ he is here 4 a long time

 

NO chance woodley gets cut...it will count about 13 mil in dead cap space next year....never happen
