    Have you heard the phone call? This was a panicked plan B that there has ever been. Not even saying this kid is horrible but he is raw and a project.

    Thats not what Cowher said when he was in the facility draft day or prior to draft day, I forget which but he said the buzz about Max was very high, they like him a lot. They obviously had a higher grade on Lemon.

    Im not saying that the Steelers didn’t potentially like him but when you have another player on the phone! It’s obviously a panic situation. He’s only played football for 4 years so he’s clearly raw. Not sure either of those can be disputed.

    Did you see the video of him getting off the plain in Pittsburgh

    He was wearing sweats and slippers

    So yes I’m thinking he was sleeping

    Because they have a board, Weidl sets it so when Lemon came off of it they just look at who their next highest rated player was. A panic move would have been to stay with WR that wasn’t ranked as high as Max.

    I know, it reeks of the Burns situation but that doesnt mean Max will be a bust like he was.

    They weren't even on the clock. They had the full eight minutes to take the next player on their board. There was no panic other than what is in some fans' head.

    They make a list of their top picks

    When one goes off then they look at the next one

    No panic

    Maybe an oh crap moment

    I’ve seen no sign of this

    He was literally on the phone with the player saying you are a Pittsburgh Steeler than have to 180 in 5 minutes. Omar wants you on his PR team. Be better.

    I usually like your takes but cmon

    Nope. The only thing they debated was whether to trade down but decided to make the OT the pick.

    Agree it was embarrassing, but that does not lead to panic. I'm sure they had more to their plan than Lemon. They have a big board and after everything fell in front of them, they knew the pick.

    Right. Who wants a lemon anyway? Had one a few years back and finally unloaded it on a fly-by-night dealer.

    :thumbs up:

    Some of you guys give this organization way too much rope. We havent been a contender in 15 years you are ok with that?

    Lemon might be the best WR in the draft and Max is a 2nd or 3rd round project. Yea I’m not happy.
