Official 2018 Draft Day Thread (NO SPOILERS!)

I am telling you. The kid could have been an all american but got behind payne, allen, hand. Some studs. Still played alot. He aint flashy but u cant move him

 

Javon Hargrave really cannot be moved either roster wise or field wise. His main issue was his back injury in addition towards the team using more sub packages than last season.


In addition towards Hargrave still under contract, McCullers, if cut, is really nothing to get worried about. That one year deal was essentially a "Prove It" contract.


I do agree with you on Frazier though about his power. Add the fact he still does have fresh legs and he could contribute far better than others realize.

 

Dont mean he will be moved. He will be second string.

 

I do not think so. Frazier being drafted signals the end for the "Shade Tree".


Javon is still likely the starter heading into 2018. Joshua will be behind him.

 

I like that pick, which isn't something I've been able to say much during this draft. Frazier gives them a viable option who can take up space and blockers inside.

That said, I can't remember the last time the Steelers entered an offseason so desperately in need of linebackers. Maybe Tomlin's first season, and that time they addressed it with Timmons and Woodley. This time? Not a single linebacker in the draft. Oy.

 

Welcome to the MB Vandy. Fuchsia's a good color for you. You'll like this place. BTW - who's the guy in the Pirate's hat?

 

Steeler's signed as an UDFA, Pitt's Swiss Army Knife player Quadree Henderson. Wishing him well. He was fun to watch at Pitt these past few years. He sure gave Clemson fits 2 years ago when Pitt knocked them out of the unbeaten ranks.

 

I really like the CB from Villanova we signed as an UDFA! Check him out I think you will dig this signing.

 

From what I am reading he is a career return man and I am thinking he has a chance to make this roster and be a Cordarrelle Pattererson type. I see the Steelers are valuing position flexibility a lot in this draft.

 

definitely...I put a link to his pro day on the FA thread. Some very good things there

 

While I'm hopeful for Henderson, the Steeler's recent history of failed "Pocket Rockets" is front and center. Not sure if it was the players or the coaching schemes but the list is long and distinguished.

 

Your right but this is a FA we have nothing to lose. It isn't like we are talking about a 3rd rounder if this kid don't work oh well move on nothing invested. I like this pick up a ton big upside no downside, jmo
