THe Official 2014 Draft Thread [No Spoilers]

we are building the front seven , our strength for past years , we will look for secondary later or next draft , everybody knows we need at least a couple of good draft to be in the mix again

 

i disagree. i don't think Cortez Allen is the answer.

 

That's a great point and I tend to agree. Gotta build the team from the ball out.

 

Nice hair piece Chad.

 

3rd rd= Pierre Desir

 

You don't think a bulked up JJ, Polumalu playing Safety not LB 'cos of Shazier, Shaziers speed, Mitchells speed, improved D-Line play with Tuitt and Heywards continued improvement will have any effect on pass D?

 

This for sure. I think Cortez can be special.

 

pressure creates turnovers.

 

I like it. They're addressing needs and getting solid players without reaching or trading away picks.

 

Will he get on the field?

 

Those sayingwe need a corner how about the fact that teams were picking up 6.4 yards a carry outside the tackles.

 

The Steelers have gone to 3 Super Bowls- largely on the play of their defense- in the past decade without a Pro Bowler at CB. Just saying.

 

Ravens took a NT, but not Nix.
Does Nix not fit their scheme? Or maybe there is a general reason he hasn't been selected yet?

 

if only we had the 3rd round we trought away last year

btw Tuitt had 21.5 sacks and four forced fumbles in 35 career games.A 3-4 end who can pass rush... rare.

 

When did the NFL draft become the Academy Awards type of show? A red carpet and it takes 2-3 people to announce a draft pick now we get less analysis and highlights and too many commercials.

 

I just don't think he's much better than some guys that could be had later. was this more of a knee jerk pick since it is slimmer pickins this year at 3-4 DE? especially since we now have a huge wait and a lot of good talent is going away. oh well mr. tuitt welcome to the Pittsburgh steelers.

 

I really, really like this pick. When he was 15-20 lbs lighter he was dominant. I wonder if the Steelers will ask him to lose weight? Very happy tonight!

 

I was just about to pose the question why the Ravens took someone that doesn't really fit what they do. They still run a 3-4, right? I see Jernigan as a 4-3 guy, like Ziggy, but smaller.
