2nd round - WR pick?

Must not have much confidence that Bryant can stay on the field.

Thoughts?

Not really a need for this team IMO.

 

Would You? Look at what we have behind brown. We seen what happens. 3 people covering brown.

 

I have to admit that I'm a bit surprised. Even though I had seen several mocks with us taking a WR in round 1 or 2, I just didn't think it was a big need. Hopefully he's a baller.

Martavis tweeted out that he's a replacement for Coates, not him. I hope he was just having some fun with a teammate.

 

I hope so. If not, he hasn't learned a thing lol

 

I was going to post the same thing. Bryant can't keep his mouth shut

 

I like the pick /Bolden II

 

Our depth chart is kind of ridiculous right now. Brown, Bryant, Rogers, JuJu, Coates, Hunter, Dhb, and Hamilton. Oh I forgot about Ayers also.

 

This pick is junk! We should have taken Colorado CB, Witherspoon....6'3" with speed...but hay, maybe Bill Gay can cover Jon Ross... Colbert watch the ravens draft!

 

He won't tackle. They said teams tried to find him to run at him

 

What they should have done is trade up for once and get the corner they needed in the first or second round. Instead they saw the guy they liked go three picks ahead of them in the first, then the Awuzie kid from Colorado two spots ahead of them in the second.

What is the plan here? Hope somebody else takes out the Patriots? Because it is not happening with this secondary, even if Watt does boost the pass rush.

 

I do like that he's very young. He's only 20. Won't be 21 until late November. He could have a nice long career.

 

So the Steelers left roughly 17-21 points on the field with straight drops by WRs in the AFC championship game. Davis, Burns, and Hargrove are going to be even better next year and hopefully Heyward is there. Throw in TJ Watt and we have a decent group up front. Sensabaugh could have a bounce back year and be decent in the slot and who knows there are going to be cuts also. I personally don't think our defense is nearly as far off as some people act.

 

It's a terrible pick. Colbert just refuses to have a complete draft. We keep throwing away high picks on garbage like Jarvis Jones, Senquez Golson, Dri Archer, etc. or taking guys we don't need. Maybe Juju is a player but WR there is just awful.

 

Dunno. He deleted the tweet quickly.

 

Maybe because it sounded like it was written by someone stoned out of their minds. Or is it mines? Or mine? Who the hell knows (or noes) anymore? Gotta love that kollage educkation.

 

I just saw we took a WR and thought what are they thinking. If one thing we don't need is more wide receivers. We need CB's and we haven't taken any that I've seen yet. I tried coming up with why we'd take a receiver and all I can think of is what you said about Bryant. Not unless they saw a can't miss receiver, which I don't. Makes no sense.

 

Ben with Tomlin: We have Antonio and who? Maybe not a pick that lends to excitement but where is the consistency after Brown? Notice has been served. The whole Bryant thing is unstable. Ben wants more weapons and he is the main cog in the wheel period.

 

Unfortunately I think we are just look at what Brady did to our D in the AFC Championship game. We have to beat them most likely in the playoffs unless someone else does before us. Never mind they've added a lot of good players to an already SB winning team.

 

I can only think of one time where the Steelers traded up and that was for Troy. Truly a very gifted player. The Steelers just don't trade up or even down for that matter unless they see a unique talent. I'm happy that they do it that way but this pick has me baffled. I think Lynn Swann and Troy Polamalu should pick him up at the airport and drive him to the Stadium and explain it's not sunny Southern Cal but do great things in not so ideal conditions and the fan base will love you forever.

 

who gives a ****. good offense helps defense. our offense needs to be what everyone thinks it should be

 

The AFCCG was a loss due to the fact the D can't stop the one team they MUST beat every year to get to a SB. To this point taking a WR short of Randy F n Moss is not the answer! Is JuJu really going to do more than AB, Bryant, Coates, Eli, Ayers, and Hamilton? What, one catch a game? When your D needs DBs to cover WRs and you send out the same guys in 2017 a year older ( Mitchell hello) to try to do what they couldn't last year is foolish. Yes Cam will be back, and Watt may help, but no more Timmons, little depth for injuries, and still many secondary issues, but go ahead and take a WR cause competition is good for the team. That 2 targets per game for JuJu will offset the 36 completions we give up each week, and 5678 completions when we play Brady!

 

Bryant is only conditionally reinstated and Coates completely disappeared after week 3. Not addressing wr could have been a catastrophic mistake. Wr was very much a need.
