7rd Mock

Cameron Sutton reminds me a bit of Ross Cockrell. Smaller yes... but quicker.

 

Really enjoyed this mock Blast. Great find indeed!


My thoughts are much similar in the facet of the draft order for rounds one to three.


Have not figured out the rest of the picks on my end though. Going to have to work on that.

 

like the first.

 

I would like those first 5 rounds minus Perine. Nothing against the player but would like a different type of RB chosen. If Perine is the guy they pick, I'm not upset either though, just a preference.

 

I would love to be able to get Aaron Jones in the 6th like you have in your mock. He really flew under the radar at the combine,his performance was outstanding.....

 

Steelers are switchibg to man coverage. Cam Sutton is not our guy if thats true. It'll be a ballhawk.

 

I think they want the ability to play more man, I don't think they will be "switching to man". They lacked the personnel to man up when they needed to and that's what they are trying to fix. I doubt a serious scheme overhaul is coming out way

 

living here in Tennessee I get to see Sutton a lot. he can play man and was ask to alot

 

I had him going round 2 last year. Sad to see though he drops a grade due to the abundance of corner options than in 2016.

 

Who says they are?


Playing entirely one or the other requires a transcendent talent. The last two I thought that could do that was Champ Baliey and Darrelle Revis.

 

The injury hurt him a lot. He is a good kid so I wouldn't mind seeing him picked. He should be solid but not great

 

An earlier poster said something to the effect of "the Steelers are switching to zone"

Even those guys played some zone. You can't play zone or man it up all game long. You gotta mix it up and you'll even have different game plans against different teams (zone heavy vs some and man heavy vs others). Unfortunately we lacked the capable personnel to play enough man to hang with the pats last year

 

Not a bad mock and I agree with everything you said here, however did you watch the highlight film on that 7th round guy from Pitt St? Man he has one heck of a motor really liked what I saw there. Not a fan of the QB or Perine and I am in high agreement about a RB with Bell's skill set....I like Elijah McGuire for that pick.

 

DeAngelo Henderson. This is me on record late round hyping the guy to be a good RB in the pros.

 

Is he a Bell type or more straight ahead runner, what do you like about him? I will check him out when I get a chance.

 

Doesnt have Bells patience. He tries to hit the holes quick. Maybe he learns something from Bell though. Low center of gravity. Undersized a bit @ 5' 7" 208lbs. Produced a lot against low level competition. So hes 5-6 round projected for a reason. BUT he runs strong, he keeps churning. Hes shown effectiveness blocking and receiving and hes aggressive. Hes not only willing to block he dishes out pain when he runs more than he takes. Hes got good speed but better acceleration. 4.48 40 time but it happens FAST. He's not great getting through tight spaces like Bell but in space he's good. I think behind our line hed be great backing up Bell. Because hes also a receiving back. Small. But plays big.

 

I just have a feeling about that guy. He stood out to me at the combine. His drills were fluid. He's got sweet feet. And then when i watched film, even though hes small, hea got such a low center of gravity he just always stays upright, like a weeble wobble.

 

I only found one video of him on draft breakdown and that was from 2014. He is shifty and kinda reminds me of MJD, what I didn't like was in that game he caught one pass and that was the last play of the game. I looked up his stats and he only had 20 receptions last year. I will say this, I want a RB who has the same skill set as Bell so if something happens to Bell we don't have to change the whole offensive scheme. Some guys I like is McCaffrey and Hunt are two more known players but I also like I'Tavius Mathers from Middle Tenn. St. and Elijah McGuire from UL-Lafayette.

 

I'd be ecstatic for McCaffery. I'll watch some film on Mathwrs and McGuire. I really think we should draft a rb but go for a high ceiling guy because our OL is so good lately under munch that it can make any rb better

 

that was in 9 games. he had 73 the prior two years. 6 TD's total receiving 97 catches. he's got very good numbers.

 

Wow, wonder why the drop last year and also wonder why on draft breakdown he only was thrown at once.

 

I want a RB as well and that is what is nice about the 4 guys I mentioned, the first two are top 2 round guys and the last 2 can be anywhere between 4-7.
