First Look at Draft Stage

Is that you, Antonio?
You shouldn’t use McKnight Rd like it is your personal Autobahn.

 

I'm always very thankful for people on message boards that do these kind of deep dives on the draft.

I'll avidly read all the info that people share.

And I'm glad that you're watching it so I don't have to!

Thanks in advance.

 

It actually was McKnight Road that I got ticketed on

 

I will be going.

 

funny looking at those prices for sandwiches. I'd be a rich man if I could take my money back to those times.

Remember a family member struggling over deciding if they could get a new Volkswagen Beetle. Cost 1,999.00. My last car: 40,000.00.

 

Me too (not the movement). I watch very little but AskQuestionsLater is great to follow on the board. He knows his sh!t and actually predicted 1 or 2 guys the Steelers drafted last season.

I don't really follow NCAA. AQL gives info about college career on whoever the Steeler pick

 

I can see the draft being a great time for those who follow NCAA closely and a great party for those who don't. I live in the Burgh I'd go for the party.

I was in Philly when the draft was going on. It was cool seeing just about all 32 teams fans there. Different jerseys all over the city. Lot of Steeler jerseys. Lot of Raven ones too.

 

Thanks for the heads up! Great info for a newbie on here like me.

 

For the casual fan I can see your point, but for us non casual football lovers
It is the biggest meat market in the world.

 

I'd rather just do the deep dive on the guys we end up picking vs. trying to learn about every prospect.

I also try not to get too attached to guys pre-draft. Because then I worry that I'll end up hating our picks when we make them because they don't pick "my guy" (I don't think everyone does this, but I worry I would).

The only pick I've ever really complained about was PF over Humphrey. Not because I didn't like PF (although I did think TE was a luxury pick for us). But because C was such an enormous need and Creed was pretty widely seen as the best C in the draft (who didn't have big injury concerns).

Good news is that we recently picked Frasier, so we have a very good C now. But we voluntarily picked years of horrible to meh center play in exchange for an average-ish TE who we often forget is even on the team (at least by targets).

 

I'm trying.

 

I'll probably walk over after work on Thursday and take off that Friday.
Steelers gonna make big moves that night !
