    Funny how when Arizona got " PUNKED " by us stealing who they desperately wanted in round 1 in Bud Dupree, and is now known as a fact that they tried like the dickins to trade up to 21 right before us to take Dupree...but alas Cincy said no, and we got Dupree. So in round 2, when it looks like we would be Lucky enough again to have what is reported as our guy in Max Williams fall to us at 56...Arizona at 55...who didn't need a TE per se lets Baltimore jump us to get Williams at 55.


    Hey...Paybacks are a you know what fans.

    Payback? Apples and oranges as Bud fell into our lap...not like we traded up to jump in front of our division rival to snatch their inevitable pick.

    Side note, the Steelers tried to move up to get Maxx, but couldn't make a deal work.

    I'm more upset the Cardinals took RB David Johnson right before us in round 3. Someone I really liked in this draft. And a couple years ago they took RB Stefan Taylor out of Stanford who I was high on. He hasn't had much of an impact so what do I know.

    Just because he hasn't done much there, doesn't mean he wouldn't have here. That's what I tell myself anyway. :)

    We'll never know....I heard they tried to also move up for J. Collins and Rowe too...so who knows. But it happens all the time teams miss out on a player they want because they are taken before the team picks. Oh well...

    I remember thinking he would be wasted there in Arian's offense. Didn't seem like a fit to me.

    Hmm, wheres this stuff coming from? Just find it odd that a year later we still don't know if the Steelers wanted Fuller over Shazier but this year all these leaks are coming out. Seems strange.
