Draft Pick Graveyard

looking back on the most recent drafts prove once again why this coaching staff is beyond due for a complete change.

D Bush- Too early to really give an opinion but has been less than impressive for a guy we moved into the top 10 to draft. His size is a serious problem. Let’s hope he improves as the season moves on.

D Johnson- I actually like what I’m seeing here so far in once again a small sample size. With this being a lost season and Moncrief being horrible he should get plenty of looks in the slot as the number 3.

T Edmunds- complete bust shouldn’t even be in the league. Horrible player with 0 value.

J Washington- to be fair he hasn’t gotten a long look but he has also done nothing with the opportunities he has gotten. Looks to be a worthless NFL WR.

TJ Watt- hit on this one although I believe Steeler Nation makes him out to be an all pro which he’s not.

JuJu- hit on this one as well. Excellent number 2 WR unfortunately for us he’s our number 1.

A Burns- Laughable

S Davis- Laughable

B Dupree- complete bust a horrible player

S Golson- Laughable

So in our last 5 drafts out of our first 2 picks we have 5/6 complete busts James Washington on the fringe of that conversation and Bush potentially being the 7th.

Say no more on why we are in this situation and you can’t tell me it’s not about coaching and scheme. Time for a change!

 

To be fair our coaching is horrid and puts players in non winning match ups. But yea some of those are ugly..

 

That was the whole point of the post. No way all these top rated guys could suck this bad. It’s coaching!

 

The way things have been going this past decade if those draft picks were New England's they would work out fine.

 

We are doomed.

 

San Fran made Winston & Dalton look pathetic. Mason has the world on his shoulders.

 

49ers fans are ridiculously cocky so far. it's like the ignored the past 20 years lol

 

This stuff again

 

The Steelers have actually been average to above average in drafting players in recent years according to some analyses.

Edmunds shouldn't even be in the league? He's had some struggles but I think actually shows pretty good cover skills for a SS and is only in his second year.

 

I love me some TJ Watt but agree that he is no game changer.

 

The players voted him to the top 100 on NFL Network. The Patriots seemed to focus their entire blocking/protection scheme in the opener on Watt. Butler was too clueless to do do anything to counter, which is why he was so quiet. Also, he has been a little banged up so far. That seems to be his biggest issue, staying healthy.

 

Watch him play. He is awful at tackling and his coverage skills are not good at all. Either that or he’s lost in schemes and not in the right place. Regardless maybe not belonging in the league was harsh but the guy is no impact player.

 

Get TJ some help and I think he can approach his brother's success.

 

If he keeps from getting injured for 6 weeks to a full year every other year, he has already surpassed his brother in my eyes.

 

It's not a Steelers thing, you could do the same for the other 31 teams .

 

It's his 2nd year! And he had " nothing between the ears " and athletically...Davis beside him...Always looking confused

 

You might be right. Makes sense.

 

You don't know what you are talking about. He took a bad angle on one play that I recall early in the Seahawk's game. No one in the league plays a perfect game.

He generally had good coverage on Seattle's WR's. The one play that TD that Edmunds had good coverage was a perfect throw. Edmunds seems to be doing his job early this season. Edmunds has shown the ability to cover well. I am not sure what kind of impact you want him to have outside of doing his job? He's not going to be Polamalu impact if that's what you are expecting.

 

I’m not only talking about this specific Seattle game. Wake up

 

That was a smart idea. It’s rather depressing.....

 

Tt's only the beginning of his 2nd season. He's shown that he can play. As he gains more experience he can get better. I think it's you who needs to wake up. Some fans don't have patience, good sense, or the ability to properly evaluate players.
