Should the Steelers double dip at the CB position in the 2016 draft?

Since the Steelers didn't sign a veteran CB in free agency I say yes, it's only a matter of time until Cortez has his annual flameout. You can never have enough good CBs, the Steelers don't have any .

 

I'm on the fence they double dipped last year. So then they'd have 4 drafted corners over the last 2 years with none of them seeing the field in any meaningful way....

 

I am confused by Steelers actions concerning the CB position, I thought they would retain
Boykins and cut C Allen. Doesn't look like that is happening?

 

True...

Double dipped on garbage last year. LOL.

"Can I have a double dip of s**t please! Hold the mustard! lmfao!

 

Don't you know? If you're not 6ft or taller, you can't be a good corner. It's proven. Despite 13 of the top 20 ranked corners by PFF last season being under 6ft tall...

 

Yes, I think they should double dip at CB. Especially if it's their plan to move Grant to safety.

 

for me it depends on grant. I know what senquez brings to the table. watched him a lot. if grant is what I hope he can be then no.

 

I think they need to and will double dip at CB for multiple reasons:

1. Gay isn't getting any younger.
2. Golson is an unknown
3. Grant is an unknown
4. Cockrell is still unpolished.
5. Allen may never be what we had hope he would be.

I expect we take a corner in round 1, right now I am leaning toward Jackson.
I expect we take a corner in round 3 or 4 depending on who is there at our position in 3.
I expect we take a DL in round 2 or 3, but it will be a guy who can play NT and DE in pass situations much like McLendon did.
I expect to take a OT in round 6 or 7.
I expect to take an OLB in round 2 or 3.

 

I would agree with most of that, but hope there's a safety in rnd 2 if we go CB in 1

 

Yes they should Double Dip at corner, with their track record on evaluating CB's lately, even a blind squirrel will find a nut once in a while.... The more they have a better chance that somebody will come through...

 

Consider you need 5 guys for nickel and 6 for dime...... these are the choices as it stands today.

I think if they pickup 1 CB and 1 S, they should be ok, no need to double up on any one of those positions, in my opinion.

Current Roster CB:
W Gay
C Allen
R Cockerel
S Golson
D Grant (CB or S?)
I Frey
A Shabazz

Current Roster S:
M Mitchell
S Thomas
R Golden
R Ventrone
J Dangerfield
R Vinopal

 

see, when you put it like that. I say take 3 safeties.lol

 

I will say this if we take a CB in round one then yes cause I want Harlan Miller or Frankie Williams later on........then maybe they could cut Allen's butt and use that money else where. That would give us some youth and hopefully depth at a very good price the next 3-4 years.

Can you imagine if Golson, Grant and these two we draft this year all pan out to be very good CB's? We would have 4 solid guys locked up for the next 3-4 years hopefully playing at a fairly high level and a very good price. So we would be set for our run with Ben the next 3-4 years, jmo.

 

No, I don't think they take two CB. I think it's likely they take a CB and a safety in the first four rounds though.

 

i don't think we need to, but i think we draft a corner and safety and work the UDFA pool for a couple of those same spots after the draft or very late.

 

I want them to double dip because you have to account for injuries at the position, the only guys we know can play is Gay and Cockrell. If they cut Cortez then all you have as backups is Golson and Grant, Tomlin said he expects to nickel around 70% of the time.

 

Steel, why so sensitive? LOL.

Steel, I have no faith in Golson whatsoever. That fluke year of 10 passes was just that..a fluke. And judging from where he was drafted, not too many other people put that much stock into that either. Grant may be decent. Of course I could be wrong but you know what? Why was all the Steeler brass at WJIII proday? Not because they had a lot of faith in Golson/Grant. LOL. If Butler/Tomlin were that confident in those two, they wouldn't be having dinner with Alexander and coaching Jackson. I think you have more faith (judging my Tomlin's visits and diners) then Tomlin. I think you should take it up with he and Butler. It's not hard to read those tea leafs.

People act like you talked about their mother or something when you talk about these nobody players. Gzzzz. Relax.

 

Maybe Golson can play the slot. Let's hope. Because I don't want him on anybody's # 1 WR.

 

U say that now. Wait till u see him on the field

 

Hahahaha..make me a believer. Because no hobbit is going to shut down or even contain A.J. Green. I can see the tears of joy streaming from Green's eyes when he sees Golson line up across from him. lmfao!!
