Steelers' draft strategy

If Allar is there in the 3rd round, get him. Agreed if he sits the potential is there. I don't see anything worth spending a higher round pick on QB with these holes.

I think they have to trade for a veteran with starting experience

 

Yes he is but can't do half of what this kid could do downfield. Wash and Muth are more geared towards being chain movers. Not that this is a bad thing but this kid can take the top off. Plus his route running and get off of the line is far different and better. He can just do things the other two can't. Could really stress a defense and could even open things up for our other receivers. Who gets the coverage? He would just help overload a defense. That is my opinion anyway. Not that it counts for much.

 

I totally hear , and believe you, but I don't think it's enough to make a top priority in the draft. Just My opinion, although if it happens, I won't hate it. LoL

 

Every couple of years some kid comes out that is some weird super-sized WR masquerading as a TE. He posts just video game combine numbers for his size. Everyone gets in a really big lather. Then the kid gets drafted pretty daggone high and fails to live up to those expectations.

To be a TE in the NFL....you have to be able to do TE things; not just super-sized WR things.

Jonnu Smith. Kyle Pitts. Dorrin Dickerson. Jelani Woods. Noah Fant.

The list can go on and on.

Dude is just a really large WR. He should be considered as such.

 

what can't he do? blocking is not the best but not terrible either. muth was never a good blocker.

 

Right. Muth is a below average blocker. And he has, despite his big contract, a below average impact on the field.

Unless big and fast is a pretty darn good in line run blocker (from what Google tells me, he is not), dude will just be a big slot WR. And that can be a really nice thing to have and be a devasting weapon in the right offense.

Or he could join a parade of big and fast dudes that never found the right position or scheme fit to be truly impactful.

 

that's pretty much the same for any draft pick at any position. they are a gamble until you see them do things on the field.

 

I put no faith in “TEs” that post big testing numbers but don’t do TE things in games. There’s like a couple every year and they all end up being vastly overrated.

Like what is Kyle Pitts actual impact on the field?

If you evaluate Sid as a WR how does he stack up?

 

he's not kyle pitts.

 

We’ve a new Oline coach with a solid rep, thank all that’s holy, and like 7 (me thinks) draft picks day two alone. So, we’re gonna see linemEn drafted. All yeah, we’re.
