Official 2017 NFL Draft Thread

AB, MB and Ju Ju is an insane WR core. Add LB pass catching abilities in the slot and we have the most dynamic receiving core in the league. James Connor is a beast and will compliment LB well. Good luck slowing us down this year, pick our poison.

 

after the Denver fumble, I didn't see Touissant as anything more than an afterthought. I didn't see the Tomlin favoritism. Not trying to convince you, but they wouldn't take Bell out because they had no alternatives. I just think Conner will be effective in giving Bell a break if they give him the chance.

 

We've had a healthy DWill that couldn't get on the field to spell Bell. We had Blount who couldn't get on the field and revolted and we have the waste of a RB Toussaint who Tomlin loves for some reason who can't even get in in mop up duty. Now he's gonna trust a rookie....one fumble and he might be done for the year.

 

I choose throw the ball all over the yard against our D...

 

I was responding to a comment but yes this is what I was getting at essentially.

 

I understand it is late Steel but one question before you go.


Outside of Desmond King, who would have been your pick given the amount of information you know about our draft choices?

 

Why is everybody saying the WR pick is about Martavis? We all know if MB keeps his head on straight, Juju would take Coates spot. I think it could also be about AB, he hasn't been the smartest either. They paid him to keep him happy and give us a shot but that doesn't mean once Ben retires and AB is getting 15-18 million we couldn't trade him.

 

Yep. We just refuse to trade up and are happy to take guys too high since there's no one left.

 

maybe that's why touissant couldn't see the mop up duty? It's all roses in the media when MT and KC responded to Touissant's fumble in the playoffs but in the locker room???

But hey, if you don't like Conner, you don't like him. Fair enough. I can't stand Coates and everyone seems to want to give him 3-4 more chances than what he deserves. So I can respect the side you're choosing (or the value where we drafted him more likely).

 

It's absolutely about the value/need we need help on D more than a average back up RB. People talking about him being a bruiser ,this isn't the 90's ...today's game needs versatile backs. To me Toussaint shouldn't even be on the team and I seriously question what a Tomlin sees in some of these guys but that to is a story for another day....simple question D.King,Shaq Griffin who I think was still there and it smite a couple other guys I can't even think straight right now but DKing or Conner ...good nite guys,Turtle. We'll pick this up tomorrow

 

Maybe so. We shall see

 

I like Sutton, but I only see him as a slot guy.... seems physical and a very willing tackler.

Can he compete with guys on the outside?

 

The player isn't going to help you win games when they're suspended for a year. Oh wait, why does this sound familiar?!

 

fixed it for you

 

Anytime

 

OMG, Great interview!!

Steelers need a QB in my opinion because Ben probably be retiring soon theres a guy i really like thats Brad Kaaya from Miami if he is available should get him. Now i dont know if anybody has seen any film on this guy but David Washington from Old Diminion depending on if he gets drafted be someone to look at too hear some people compare him to teddy Bridgewater.

 

Not good for Bryant? More like SC. Bryant is far and away better than SC period! You are correct when you said the talent that they let walk in that 2nd round, and we needed a lil help back there in the secondary. Just bizarre IMO? Why no trade up? The Connor kid is a great story, but is Connor gonna cover a WR? Is he going to pressure a QB? I just don't get it.......

 

I probably should have said Coates and Bryant. At this point neither can be counted on. Wr was a huge need.

 

We have an A+ OL.. and almost perfect Offense.. We need to score our 28-34 points a game to win and get the #2 spot. Score like the Pats score at will.. That goal seems a bit easier to accomplish right now then trying to get our defense to keep teams under 20.
