With the #20 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft the Pittsburgh Steelers select

CGJ did meet with the Steelers at the combine. Why Colbert skipped Florida for Texas though is interesting. That is a big dent in CGJ being the pick. A shame really.


Among the multi role chess pieces in this draft, only Nasir Adderly grades higher. Keep an eye out for Deionte Thompson though. Both Tomlin and Colbert were at Alabama's Pro Day. That being said, there is no telling whether or not they have met with Thompson the same.

New TV in 3,2,1........

 

@thesteeldeal this would be his role as a rookie

 

3 words: Rock Ya Sin

 

Hell no, Peter King doesn't know what the heck he's talking about saying they take him at #20.

 

Great but if you believe all the talk of Ya sin, he'll be doing it for somebody else.

 

He's not the only one saying it though

 

Everybody lies this week, don't believe most of what you hear. I call BS on these reports, it's not like Tomlin is telling people who he likes, I don't know where the media comes up with this crap.

 

We'll find out soon enough. I will be doing some early research on the best new TVs

 

One mock has us taking Lonnie Johnson Jr. a CB from Ky. with pick #20. I hope this doesn't happen, Johnson has incredible physical skills. He is 6' 3" and weighs 215 and runs a 4.52 forty but he has terrible football instincts.
He only has 1 career pick at Kentucky and at times is lost on the football field. He is moving up on mock drafts because teams have fallen in love with his physical ability and think that they can coach him up to play at the NFL level.
The Steelers have been down this road before with Dupree and Burns and they have to pass on Johnson and actually pick someone who knows how to play the game of football.

 

With only 1 career pick, I highly doubt Johnson is the pick just because of all the talk this pre-draft about them looking for defensive playmakers.

 

This would be a favorable outcome in my eyes. Trade down 5-8 spots, get Savage and then like you said move up in the 2nd or 3rd for whoever..

 

They're never gonna do it. They will do their usual sprint to the podium and claim that whoever they pick they wanted all along and never even considered trading back and miss out on a guy they all unanimously had as the best player on their board.....sound familiar?

 

I think we pick Noah Fant in the first and Parris Campbell in the second. I think Ben has more say than most people think. Then our ILB in third. Just not thrilled with Bush or any of the corners early in this draft. Maybe Patrick Peterson in a trade, seems he wants out of Arizona.

 

I just bought a new TV last month, I would hate to have to break it if they drafted Ya Sin at #20 .

 

I’m gonna say Ferrell or Burns

 

I'm going out on a limb and say this (trading up not withstanding), if we don't pick Bush with our first pick it will be Fant. Fant will go around our pick and I wouldn't be upset with him. I'm telling you, he has more potential then our (Iowa) other TE (Hockenson) who will go higher. Hockenson has been more consistent, really defining consistency, but Fant could be special. As disappointed as I might be not getting a defensive play maker, which I think Bush is, I won't cry if we get Fant.

 

You might want to try and find a slightly used straight jacket on eBay. That's what I'm gonna do ,its probably cheaper. This Dave-TE Thomas guy also nailed the Burns and Edmunds pick. He may have more inside information than you're giving him credit for....prepare for it.

Colbert has been talking lately about how they have their own board,how this years FAs won't effect their draft,how they really don't want rookies to have to start. The thing that doesn't jive is his comments about changing the way they draft CBs. How they should maybe start looking more for playmakers than physical CBs. Maybe old habits die hard and they just can't help themselves. Would totally be on par with a lot of their other decision making to draft a CB known for his physicality when they are gonna make PI a challengeable offense. Talk about a 1 year wonder.....

I went from being excited about this draft,thinking there no way they can screw this up,to trying to figure out how I can score some blood pressure medication. They can't really do this can they?

i wouldn't doubt a ya-sin pick what so ever. they want turnovers from the DBs. i'm still not ruling out love either.
