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

Guy may be a stud..or a dud, just to risky especially with this team's history at drafting CB's so high.

 

They just need to stop reaching with there first pick.. Dude is a possible mid second round talent. No reason to take him at 20

 

Second to getting ya-sin at 20, trading up for Devin Bush is a mistake imo

 

TJ looks like he has the suit Big Ben had on when he was drafted....just sayin

 

HaHA I know..

.I would like C. Wilkins, B Murphy, Savage and Baker too though. To be honest there are some damn good O-lineman I would take too but it's just not a pressing need.

 

I’m hoping for a defensive player who provides instant impact. Corner, safety, ILB, or OLB I don’t care. I just want an immediate defensive upgrade with tonight’s pick.

 

Hate to pat myself on the back but...........Nailed it!

 

They better move now or we sit and watch 54 players go by before we pick again. Pitiful.

 

We took him at 10. Sorry 55 players.

 

I understand what you're saying about filling needs but making the picks doesn't necessarily mean we are filling needs. With the 8 picks we have left if we can get just 4 more to make our roster it will be a big accomplishment regardless of when and where we pick them. It's rare to land and keep 5 players from a draft. Our roster is pretty tight. IMO

 

I saw a stay yesterday that said 41% of bens tds the last four years went to AB. WR in the next 3 picks. TE possibly.

Mullen or layne may be around as a corner. hooker or thornhill but will probably be Willis or edwards at safety. Just depends on who is left at that point.

 

I didn't mean if I intimated we don't have needs...I agree we have needs but how many of these guys are gonna come in and bump someone else off the roster. We have a clear path for a TE,DL ,FS and RB after that things get tight. We filled the major need for a 3 down player at ILB. Upgrades and needs are different. We need a upgrade at OLB but we only went with 3 last year and still have 2 in the wings. CB can use a upgrade but are we cutting Burns or Sutton? O line is extremely solid to me. Some of the unproven guys are the same guys that would be drafted.....unproven. Keep in mind only 53 make the roster, 46 dress. The rest are somewhat susceptible on the PS.

While it would be nice to draft for 2020, we should be focusing in on guys who have a clear path to make the team this year. Like I said you're lucky if you nail 5 players in the whole draft. Making picks doesn't necessarily mean you're filling needs.....I would use our 8 picks to try and target 4-5 players that have the best chance of filling needs and making the roster. Historically speaking the later the selection the less chance said player has of making the roster. All those 6s and the 7 should be ammunition to target better players. Players that have the easiest path. While it would be great to get 2020 starters at FS,CB and OLB they better do it in the next three picks or chances become very slim.

 

Uh oh! Trouble brewing. Do we have room for 2 " unquestioned leaders". I guess one for each side works. Can one really be considered the " unquestioned leader" of the team though....

I'd like to see kendall sheffield drop and we get him and ir him until next year. That would be like an extra pick next year. We wouldn't have to worry about him taking a spot on the 53 this year.
