Official 2019 Draft Talk Thread - NO SPOILERS

Now the Ravens can deal with Brown of another type! Splendid!

 

Wow new Steeler himself CB Nelson tweets out to Bush welcome to the Burgh. I think this guy is going to be a great signing

 

This reminds me of John Ross: an undersized, injury prone receiver with nothing but speed and no one to get him the ball. And both drafted by AFC North Rivals. IN the first round! I feel good about this.

Honestly when Bush flies in the screen in pursuit it reminds me a little of Troy.

 

Crazy. I'm starting to wonder if moving up in the 2nd is a possibility.

 

Yeah I’m surprised. Deandre Baker first cb off the board.

 

So there goes Baker. I expect we will see a run on corners from now into the early second round.

 

Moss-calf

 

Wow. So Metcalf slips to the 2nd.

 

Me neither. It's very possible that AJ Brown ends up going off the board next and Metcalf still has a wait. Lots of great talent available in the 2nd. Bush has grown on me, but it would sure be nice to have a 2nd round pick

 

We could get back in but I think we sacrificed enough already unless one of our 6ths can get us up just a spot or two if there's someone we really like. I really don't want to have to trade a 4th or 5th to get back in.

 

. I wonder what Joe Greene thought of that get up? I hope he plays better than he dresses. That was terrible.

 

Atypical first round.

Two TE's, and both from Iowa, taken before a single WR or CB.

Excepting the QB's taken, because QB's are different, the pick in the first I like the least is Hockenson. He just doesn't look like the kind of gamechanging impact player that justifies the 8th pick. At least not to me. The pick I like the most is Ed Oliver at 9 by the Bills.

As for Bush, we'll see, but I give the Steelers kudos for identifying their man and going for him aggressively. Based on the trade value chart they slightly overpaid, but not by a lot which sounds to me like a fair draft day deal.


Edit: Jesse James can't be too happy about the Lions picking Hockenson. He just saw his PT drop significantly.

 

WattWack is laying in wait under a new assumed name.

 

There's a couple hiding in the Bush-es.....

 

Bush:
172 total tackles
91 solo
81 assists
18.5 tackles for loss
10 sacks
1 interception
11 passes defended
0 forced fumbles

David Long jr.:

246 total tackles
169 solo tackles
77 assists
39.5 tackles for loss
12.5 sacks
10 passes defended
0 interceptions
2 forced fumbles.


both in 3 years. Both 4.4 guys. Both the same size essentially. I don't see the value and how Bush is by far the better player that is a must have.

 

You got that right!
