    Yeah I mean it’s night and day between Mitch/mason vs Kenny. I think he was trying too hard at first but when he got comfortable he demonstrated he can play at a high level.

    I’m going to be in Tunisia when we make our first pick

    I don’t speak the language well

    I have no clue what I will be eating

    Considering it’s a Muslim country I’m guessing I’m not finding a Steelers bar

    Are you going there to try and revive the Carthaginian Empire led by your great uncle Hannibal?

    He must work the pocket better. Right now that's My only complaint. He tends to put His tackles at risk. I'm hoping better guards, and more work will help. He has a lot of things I Love in a Qb....if He takes even a little step forward....We will be way better.

    Ike was drafted in the fourth round, diamond in the rough. I am looking at OT in the first or a corner rated above JPJr - Gonzales wld be my preference or OT, I wld take best OT over Banks and Witherspoon, thats just me, I like Tyrique Stevenson CB in the second round

    He was definitely trying to do too much at first, but part of that was on the coaches. No way in hell he should have been throwing so much, not even with the team falling behind by big margins. They just set him up to fail.

    The latter part of the season was a combination of them finding their running game and the coaches running a scheme that allowed Pickett to be a game manager who was asked to step up in certain spots rather than have him try to carry the offense.

    Where he was drafted doesn’t have anything to do with a CB’s number one job.

    Splash plays are nice but taking the other teams best receiver out of the game is better. Shut down corners probably don’t have many splash plays because teams will just avoid them.

    Corners rated above Porter won’t last until the Steelers pick. Porter may not even be there.

    I’d take the OT as well. I posted a link in the draft room about a rumor that Khan/Weidl want to address the Oline and Tomlin wants a CB or edge.

    I am looking at a balance of great coverage as well as having the threat to intercept. My point was that JPJ has not demonstrated the threat to intercept. That was my point. But I agree, if a corner is that good that a QB doesn't throw in his direction so he doesn't have the opportunity to make splash plays that would be ideal. So we agree. I just wanted to make the point about being a threat to pick off passes. You can bat down balls all day but the defense is not getting off the field and your giving the opposing offense another chance to score. An interception is better, obviously. We'll see how things work out and what the Steelers do come draft day.

    They brought a Punter in for competition last year ( name escapes me ) ...

    Outpunted Harvin pretty handily...And they kept Harvin :shrug:

    Corliss Waitman is with the Patriots. I thought Harvin improved last year. But they did bring in competition to let him know that he needs to continue trending up.

    Again, even a corner who intercepts a lot of passes, that is only six or seven plays in a season. Give me the guy who shows up better on all the other plays. Again, the Darrelle Revis example makes that very clear.
