Combine RBs?

Who are you guys watching for the Steelers at the combine at RBs?

 

Dude...quit posting draft/combine/etc stuff in the main forum...they already moved your earlier thread to the draft forum.

 

I like Lamar Miller, RB, Miami I think he could be available when our first rd pick comes up

 

As long as they dont pick him!

 

Robert Turbin, Doug Martin, Isiah Pead, Bernard Pierce and Vick Ballard- maybe one falls and is good value where ever selected

 

Nowhere...

We don't RB's or WR's we are rich in those groups.

We need O line, D line, MLB and even a QB back up before those....

 

I kind of agree with "no where " ( undrafted FA running backs can be had) There are a few other needs- but with up coming FA's at position next couple years, and this being a crap shoot, if you see great value in a guy who you feel is really taleneted I wouldnt have a problem if they grabbed someone at RB. Steelers are normally pretty good at going a different route because of value and the "we just didnt expect him to be there"

 

how so?

 

Why does that irritate you? Don't spend enough time on here to know that there was a seperate place to post about the combine! Get a life DUDE!

 

If the Steelers spend a first round pick on a RB this year then I know
they are incompetent. OL and a good one Decastro make it happen please.

 

decastro put himself out of our range. we will get a good one though, i hope. i'm just not seeing the so rich part at wr and rb.
1. sanders played 5-6 games last year. the year before not much more.
2. it doesn't sound like hines will be back and if he is , he's not at the level we need.
3. we don't know about wallace yet.
4. we don't know about cotchery yet.
5. we cut battle.
6. we very easily could start the season with brown as the #1 which will deminish his abilities by being the defenses main focus then.
7. injuries happen. we could go from penthouse to outhouse in a big hurry. i don't see rich at this point.

as for rb.
1. we lost our #1 for at least the first 6 weeks and more then likely he won't be the same back anytime soon after that.
2. redman can carry the load, but again one injury and we are hosed.
3. batch looked ok for a couple of weeks in camp before a knee injury, so we don't know how he will bounce back. not to mention we have yet to see him play meaningful football in the nfl.
4. dwyer was injured and came into camp fat and out of shape. yet again, i'm not sure he could carry the load.
5. clay was on the PS until the rams game. i'm not calling us rich at RB with dwyer and clay as the feature backs. we may be solid on paper right now, but not rich. there is a big lack of speed at the position.

i know, i know, doom and gloom, but far from rich. there is a big difference in playing well in spot duty and being the feature back game in and game out. we just don't know yet.

 

I didn't think it needed to be explained that we are RELATIVELY rich compared to other groups. OL, LB and i'm not sold on our d-back corp that everybody seems is fine. Never ming if Ben goes down!!! Sure Batch is good for a couple of games, but he's just a band-aid and couldn't really play a long stretch.

We also need a quality back up. QUALITY, not a starter like people sometimes misinterpret.

 

Ronnie Hillman in the 3rd.......... Gonna be a steal for someone.........
