2016 NFL Draft Discussion Thread [No Spoilers]

This I don't agree with. I'm not really pleased with the pick, but Fuller was the one player I wanted no part of. Burns' ceiling is way higher

 

..... Oh.. boy... I could even accept Myles Jack... but Artie Burns.......




Dear God why.....

 

His story and character are extremely similar to shemarko's

 

Billings and Robert N still there and we took Burns.

 

He sure did nail it. At least I feel a little better after reading that. Thanks for posting the article.

 

Myles Jack would have been ready to play.

 

Well if he ends up making the team,I'll consider it a win with our recent DB selec ions

 

He certainly would've been available at 31 if they traded with Denver that's for damn sure. Second round talent from all I've seen.

 

exactly, its not like anyone else was going to pick Burns, he would have been sitting right there imo. Just like Tampa did earlier

 

Apparently BPA is no longer the philosophy.

 

I don't get it guys. I mean we need help in secondary. he was best corner left on board. no way is he there in 2nd. we don't know if anyone offered to trade or anything. so he wasn't who the experts had listed as the best. he is our guy now and I am happy. I mean damn, am I missing a link to the steelers draft room to know what is going on? cause if I am I would like to have it

 

Out of curiosity why, SG? The knee?

 

Even Andrew Billings was available...... this pick is worse than Jarvis on paper....


I sure hope Kevin studied his tape up well.

 

Waste? Really? I'm as not thrilled as anyone on here, but to write him off literally as he is selected is ridiculous

 

Well since they are saying that he's a "project player" then maybe this means we're gonna hit a homer in the 3rd since that's mostly where we've been taking our project players? LOL!

 

Yes and I hope that's where the similarities end...........

 

I doubt it. There's a waiting linebto play slot. Only way Burns plays is if he starts outside.

 

Let's hope his story doesn't turn out the same

 

I like Burns but I'm disappointed. I think Jackson being picked right before us, by Cinnci no less, makes this pick more disappointing right now. If WJIII had been picked in the teens, this would probably feel better.

 

Actually, three of their analysts picked Burns. I guess they knew something we didn't.

 

So toy think they have Golson, Gay and resigned Cockrell and they bump this kid up?

 

The knee scares me, but his production on the field worried me too. I didn't watch tons of VA Tech games, but he got absolutely demolished two years in a row against Michael Thomas. I just wasn't impressed. He had the name on his jersey, I just didn't see the skills. I've been wrong before tho haha

 

How big are the opposing wideouts he will be facing?
