Official 2018 Draft Day Thread (NO SPOILERS!)

Obviously.....

 

Day 2 targets with 2 3rd round picks now? We better focus on some WRs and a RB....I think the Edmunds pick takes us out of the running to draft Griffin...

 

He takes, at times, incorrect angles to the ball. That is generally something all defensive backs struggle with. Coaching; good coaching at that, can either aliveate some to much of those concerns.



This leads me to this question; if people are really worried about Terrell Edmunds then should of that concern also be placed afoot upon Tom Bradley as well since he will be working with him?

 

ILB Darius Leonard

ILB Oren Burks

ILB Genard Avery

WR James Washington

WR Dante Pettis


WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling


OLB Uchenna Nwosu

RB Nyheim Hines

 

Unless he was one of the unannounced Pre Draft Visits, do not count on it I am afraid.


Now, Malik Jefferson on the other hand? Round Two? That is something I can get behind.

 

Yep......But u know the media is Gona spend the rest of the week Talking abt how great the pick was And how Balt got a steal in the first round...... Hell its already started

 

Could roll the dice on Jefferson....I wasn't counting on Griffin I was counting him out....Chark in play in the 2nd and another WR in the 5th RJames or Watson. I think we need a double dip at WR now for sure...
WR or ILB or RB in the 2nd...then OLB,WR,DL from 3rd on....

 

It started?


When did it end?!

 

Good nite Bs and Gs plenty to talk about tomorrow.....

 

I sure thought that's what they were gonna do. Even if the jets had taken Mayfield they would have gotten Darnold. Crazy.

 

OH glad he twitted that out, now I will sleep a whole better tonight.

 

Which leads me to this question... don't folks think Bradley had something to do with the scoring/ranking of TE?

 

I would love to see us draft Antonio Callaway from the Florida Gators. He's one of the best WRs in the class but had went through some problems in college. Recently, Antonio Brown has reached out to him and begun mentoring him! https://syndication.bleacherreport....lks-being-counseled-by-antonio-brown.amp.html

 

Isn't he the guy that failed the drug test at the combine? A test he knew about months in advance?

 

lol...thats funny..true..so true, but funny...

 

Well I am late to the party but am shocked with the pick. I really felt like the Steelers were gonna surprise me and was thinking an oline or dline was going to be the pick. Well I was right did not expect Edmunds as our pick, with that said no sense in complaining I thrust the stall and they have a plan and this guy will fit it. Like what I have read about him and his flexibility is awesome. Welcome to the Burgh FeDerius........

 

Heaven forbid the Steelers ever make such a move. They haven't traded up in the first round in a long time, but it worked out okay the last time they did it. That was Troy Polamalu.

Instead, they settled for a guy with a third-round grade in the first round. Even if he pans out, it was a bad pick because they could have gotten him later.

The way I put it to somebody else was to think of the 1974 draft, arguably the best by any team in NFL history. The Steelers drafted four Hall of Famers. The old story goes that Chuck Noll loved John Stallworth and wanted to take him in the first round. Of course, Noll was right about Stallworth because he ended up in the Hall of Fame. But the scouts knew the Steelers could get him later, so they convinced Noll they should take Lynn Swann in the first round. They ended up getting both and had a pair of Hall of Fame receivers the rest of the decade.

 

The only good thing about that is that if he's good, they get a fifth-year option on him.

That's probably why these teams are taking the guys they take instead of trading out of the first.
