Official 2017 NFL Draft Thread

Yep. I liked Taylor Mays...and thought he would have been a great center fielder with Troy up in the box

and if you paid that close attention to my post...you would see I have been asking for situational football and sub packages on Offense for a decade...I watch plenty close enough..

we will see how much Juju plays this year. You think a lot...I think a little...I hope the kid is to good to keep off the field.

Hack

 

Is Lawson really still there

 

PLEEEEEASE LET US TAKE A PUNTER!!!!

 

I understand the pick.


A versatile chess piece is what the Steelers want. In , Ryan Shazier is the direct and indirect forerunner in all of this.



Versatility and athleticism along with a high ceiling are what the Steelers have done for quite a while now. Actually, one can say it can go as far back as to Donnie Shell lining up at a 'backer position on occasion if memory serves correctly.


Pittsburgh's draft picks since 2014 do reflect this in some form or way. 2016 was special no doubt but 2017 seems to be Pittsburgh going more in depth with versatile pieces who are crazy athletic and have a high ceiling to match.


Do not worry dobbler. I understand your concerns about JuJu, as do others. However, a combative, move the chains target is needed even if a top flight or quality tight end exists on your team. I believe that JuJu can provide that better than what they thought Hamilton could.

 

My tv just spoiled the pick for me.

 

Well, his first 2 years at Tennessee they said 1st Rd talent. He is a good kid. Very involved in community

 

What!!!why are they stealing our thunder!! When it's our turn something wrong here!!!

 

Sutton.... meh

 

I would've preferred King as well but I'll hope for Sutton's success

 

Hey this probably finally gets AB out of the punt return role.

 

I thank Sutton is a little better than king. He has great man coverage skills and can return punts

 

subpar draft

 

Versatility is king here.


A slot defender with punt return capabilities. Seems that Lewis' character issues were too much for the Steelers to manage.

 

Then you notice when we use DHB as the #2 in bunch formations on 3rd and 3ish situations. His blocking is valued. The run/pass option belongs to Ben.
JuJu will give us a much better possession option while upgrading the blocking on the strong side.

We use different WRs in different packages, we've been doing it for years.

We're not going to have to put 4 WRs on the field for him to contribute

*we had some good arguments on the old Steelers.com board like 10 years ago.

 

Quotable: “I am a big believer in him. Any other year when we didn’t have as much corner depth, he would be getting a lot more talk and a lot more buzz.” — NFL Media’s Daniel Jeremiah

 

Maybe King is next here in a few?

 

Can still get King right? Or did he get taken?

 

He can play safety too right?

 

Zzzzzzzz! Now here comes a 3rd round QB project that can lead us into the abyss when Ben is gone....can't wait.

 

Good solid need /value pick

 

Go ahead and draft Eddie jackson
