~ OFFICIAL 2015 TSF.COM FANTASY DRAFT STEELERS VOTING & DISCUSSION ~

I've spent some added time investing our 2 cb, Rowe, I still see as a 3rd RD CB.... which is not a bad thing. I also see him as a stand alone FS with a Late 3 to 4th RD grade. From a schematic point of view his versatility, success at both positions has now gotten him an overall 2nd RD grade from me. I'm now ok with our pick of him in the 2nd. I actually hope we draft either Rowe or Byron Jones......they are so similar and offer great flexibility.

I'm also warming up to Golson. He's like lightning in a bottle. Offenses are falling in Love with small quick slot wr weapons...... he's a perfect counter punch.

Cajun

 

Haha..... I see the potential, I don't see the production.

Cajun

 

He played DE & OLB in college and that hurt him. He needs coaching and focused on a single position. I actually believe a year of coaching and weight room training he'll become a decent 4-3DE and possibly a pro bowler before he finishes his rookie deal.

Does he fit what we do better than Shane Ray or Orchard ?

Cajun

 

Slide slide please SLIDE !!!!

 

That could be sweet, if he slides but his foot turns out fine.

Just don't let Dr. Maroon be the one examining him. He'll prescribe not riding a bike for 2 years, and then hit him in both feet with a sledgehammer Kathy Bates style.

 

Just heard this injury is similar to turf toe. That's what ended Lambert's career. Do you think we'd take a chance on an injured player in the first?

 

Absolutely, depending on the player and nature of the injury. Advances in medical technology has been stupendous over the last 30 years. Tommy John surgery has saved many a pitching careeers. ACL Injurys has killed many careers like Kijanna Carter former #1 RB for the Bengals but today they aren't viewed as the death sentence they once were.

All the teams know the intimate details of prospects lives and medical. If he drops its not because they are afraid of his injury, it's because they want an IMMEDIATE starting force on the field and not willing to wait.

Cajun

 

I agree with Cajun, modern medicine has come so far I am pretty confident this injury will not be an issue. To be honest I have not paid any attention to Ray or Gregory cause I didn't feel we had a chance at them. I guess I am going to have to take a look at these two now that they are both on the slide. Kinda funny we have them two going down the board and Peters falling we may end up with a top guy if we are willing to take the risk which isn't the Steeler way but you never know.....

 

5 picks away, I guess it's time to start thinking about the Steelers selection.

 

MyCole Pruitt - TE - Southern Illinois

 

I like Kroft from Rutgers, you know he can block and he can catch they just had bad qb play last year. I feel this kid is a steal here, jmo

 

I do not have my list with me I am at work(yeah working hard) but I know off the top of my head I liked OT Hickey from Cuse and Josh Harper from Fresno ST along with TE Kroft I just mentioned. I think we have to go offense this time for sure. The more I read on Harper I like him here for us, keep giving Ben weapons......

 

My vote

Stefon Diggs WR Maryland


my backup vote

Darren Waller WR Georgia Tech

 

Waller was another one I was thinking about. Some say he may end up more of a TE in the nfl. Diggs isn't a bad option either

 

I assumed he was gone, so I looked three times and he hasn't been taken yet. It's coming down to Kroft, Waller and Glowinski for me. Glowinski was my backup vote for the 4th, so I'm going with him here, and having Blanchflower helps ease the pain not getting Kroft. Glowinski has some movement skills that should fit our scheme well.

Mark Glowinski, OG, WVU

 

Keep in mind you can discuss things all you want...but no voting will be counted until the vote has been opened (and only votes AFTER the time will be counted).

 

I would have no problem with Glowinski he is a tough nose lineman. The thing with Kroft is due you view him as a Blanchflower type? I don't I think this kid could learn from Heath and turn into that type of player. He played for a run type team but has the ability to catch passes when needed......sounds like a Heath clone????? Kroft had a bad statistical season last year 24-269-0 but the year before he did have a season when he showed he can catch it as well 43-573-4. I have read QB play was a big part of the drop off.

Other names like I mentioned I really like Hickey but I think we have guard need more then tackle. I also like these 2 WR's as well:

Harper 6-1 191 4.64
2013 79-1011-16
2014 90-1097-7

Davis 6-3 220 4.57
2012 61-854-4
2013 87-1290-14
2104 34-599-4 missed 5 games

Davis is said to have run slow but could be the big physical receiver we are looking for. I like in this spot adding a weapon but I could see oline protection as well, thoughts?

 

Im away from home and I don't have my list.. Is Matt Jones RB still available??

cajun

 

I too am away from my list but I just checked the selection list and I don't see him on there so I am going to say yes he is still available.

 

I have Matt Jones still available as well
