You did. I also preferred Gonzalez. I wondered if they had assured the Patriots they weren't taking him to get that trade done. That was part of...
Iheanachor is a right tackle, but he is better in pass protection than run blocking, which isn't ideal. I know he has better upside, but he sounds...
Iheanachor isn't quite as much of a reach, but it is similar. They reached for physical traits and hoped the guy would develop and it burned them....
People here point out when others get something wrong. I am not sure that warrants personal insults in the reply. :shrug:
Given their lack of options and the intelligence Thieneman has shown, I'm actually very certain he would have started. I will be surprised if he...
It doesn't mean they are done, but it also doesn't mean the position is more of a need than safety, which was an utter **** show last season.
I think it is very clear that Lemon was their guy. The story of them being on the phone with him when the Eagles called makes it tough to argue....
Safety play killed them all last season and they only signed one viable starter. It is a huge need, every bit as great as offensive line. They...
Maybe, but I'm not sure that justifies the pick. Just because they might like Iheanachor better doesn't mean they are right. Also, it sure as hell...
Agreed. Ultimately, it doesn't matter. It looks bad that they didn't get their guy, but it doesn't change the quality of players on their team.
I agree with most of this, but Mauigoa went 10th overall. They weren't trading up that high to get their tackle.
I hadn't read you admitting you were wrong about that yet. Instead of simply saying that you had admitted as much elsewhere, you decided to make...
Why not? They did it with Troy Polamalu and got a Hall of Famer. They traded for one who was taken in the first round and Minkah Fitzpatrick...
Passing on Linderbaum definitely set them back, too. They had terrible play at center until they took Frazier.
Safety is a huge need for the Steelers, certainly more than right tackle.
Are we past the point of doubting the story that the Steelers were on the phone with Lemon when the Eagles jumped up and stole him away now?
That is what I'm thinking might happen, but man, that still leaves a problem at left tackle.
The more I read and the more I think about the pick, the less I like it. I am finally coming around to those who think Khan is a bust as GM....
How often does reaching for need really work out? I just don't see it. Teams do win the draft on the day of the draft. We just don't see the...
Ultimately, I don't care if the story about Lemon is true. There were four players who I thought could realistically get to the Steelers who would...
