Steelers...path to the draft

Tonight at 6pm on the NFL channel, what I have seen so far they do the 1st 3 picks and do like 2 different outcomes according to what the 1st pick is. Kinda cool and I think it would be fun to see what they do then do a mock off it here.

 

Thanks for the heads up. I enjoy that network and show and was fearful I missed that segment.

I'll be in Boone NC so my DVR is also set.....

Since we're guessing.... CB will be the main topic but DL & edge rusher with be included as well.....

You really are high on Alexander huh?

 

Well what did they say? I missed the segment.

 

It was weak, Daniel Jeremiah had the Steelers drafting all Clemson players in the first 3 rounds.
1.Mackensie Alexander
2.WR
3.TJ Lee

 

Thanks guys!

 

I've seen some stuff about Kendall Fuller and actually Ike said that's who he thinks we're gonna take. So none of the NFL Network guys said that? I REALLY like Kyle Fuller and if he's as good as his brother I'd take him in a heartbeat and I'd be very happy if they did.

 

I thought there selections SUCKED.

 

I agree 100% I feel one of our biggest needs is DT and all they could talk about was CB and S. Don't get me wrong they are big needs too but so is NT. The other thing we all knew or most did was they were gonna draft us a WR. I am fine with that I know most don't like it with all our other needs but when you are a strong some where you have to make sure you stay that way.

They had on Brian Balldinger(sp) after not sure if anyone saw it but he did point out DT and mentioned Billings could be an option in the 1st. It will be replayed this morning again at 6ish if anyone missed it or want to sit and listen to two guys who have no clue about our needs..........

 

Yeah I saw that you did and you hit it right on, heck I am surprised they didn't take a TE for us, lol. Baldy was so much more on then these two but oh well it is fun. I am surprised over the Golden comments myself I know some here are real him on him....I am not as far as a starter, jmo. He fills a nice roll for depth but right now my confidence in him isn't high.

I want to point out I am not totally against the WR pick and I will tell you why. I know we have needs bigger but all our needs con be filled in FA(what's left) and/or the draft, imo. I don't like what is left at WR in FA, not that this class is great at WR but we are not looking to get a day 1 starter either. We are a passing offense, god forbid we lose AB or Wheaton. That means everyone else moves up a spot and we are already asking Coates to move up one already. Also with Wheaton being a FA next year his price tag should go up cause he is looking at a bigger role now. So drafting a guy to learn in case of injury or depth in case of FA is fine with me. Keep the machine well oiled and it will keep running, jmo.

 

Haha, I like Charles Davis. Not crazy about Jeremiah. All 3 picks from Clemson...come on. Put in the effort, must still be tainted from his Balt. days. None of these paths to the drafts are very good imo anyway. They focus so much on the teams picking in the top 5 or so and the big name players that they hardly dig deep into any of the team needs etc.

Baldy did a little better, he even mentioned McCullers as the back up who would need to step up. At least he had an inkling of the roster.

 

Mackenzie Alexanders athleticism is a major concern for me. I would not use a 1st rounder on him. He got succeeded because he has the aptitude and demeanor for the position, but i'd be worried NFL WR talent would eat him up.

 

was it TJ lee or TJ green in the 3rd? if it was green, i could get on board with this a little more.

 

it was the Clemson safety TJ Green

 

i like him. i assume peake is the wr too? i've seen him ranked around the 4th round though. i like him too.

i'd take that draft and add simmons at safety too and i'd be a happy guy.

 

Yeah my bad it was TJ Green, I wouldn't mind getting him in the third round.
