    Like the pick. Like others stated, we needed a bigger coverage safety to play more dime.

    Watching Davis against Gronk last year played a huge part in this pick, I’d assume.

    Yeah but wouldn't Reid at free, Davis at Strong and Burnett at dime backer be better than Davis at strong, Burnett at free (declining range) and supposedly Edmunds at dime backer? Maybe I'm wrong but, idk, that's not the dime combo I wanted.

    I just honestly now fully believe Steelers can not evaluate DBs

    He's not starting right away though. They just signed a guy to do that. 1st round guys need to be plug and go types.

    What the heck? They will get a ILB in the second or third.

    I'm okay with the pick. Not what I expected, and a round earlier than I thought he would go. But Steelers got a good player at position of need.

    Im totally happy. People need to think in terms of what this defense does. Great pick. I had him in the second but I dont care, not a huge reach.

    S Terrell Edmunds, 6', 217 lbs, 4.47, 59 tckls, 2 int, 4 PBU, Virginia Tech

    He has size and decent speed, stats are okay, not sure he is a 1st round guy, think we definitely could have moved down a lot and still got him.

    Can't really call it a miss yet. Might be a reach or a big swing, but how can you call it a miss before he's played a game?

    Love his size and speed a lot. Don't know enough about him to really love or hate the pick to be honest.

    I am not saying he is top 5. I am saying you can not find 5 wrs in the NFL with his combination of size, speed, and playmaking ability. He was even a solid blocker.

    I'm not worried about that, Edmunds will play in the dime package and help on special teams right away. They also might play some 3 safety packages too.

    Horrible pick. That was way too high for that guy.

    Even worse, this is a guy with a reputation for missing tackles in the open field and taking bad angles. They already had plenty of guys like that at safety last season.

    Exactly. Just what we needed: a sixth box safety.

    Wow just wow. Carrying on the tradition of picking secondary players one or two rounds higher than they warrant.

    This draft could not have broken worse for us. Could have traded back 25 spots and still gotten this guy.

    Since we took a third rounder anyway, I would have rather had Griffin at 28.

    I’m kinda out of it now.
    Seeing Shazier walk out was awesome!
    But then I realized that he may never play again.
    So I kinda didn’t even compute the pick.

    And honestly, with the Penguins winning tonight, they could have taken anyone outside of a kicker/punter and it wouldn’t have soured my mood.
