The Official 2021 Pittsburgh Steelers Draft Thread - NO SPOILERS

Jonathan Cooper Ohio State?

 

Commudus: Father, Im here, I hope I haven’t missed the battle?
Marcus Aurelius: Battle? You missed the war!

 

Is this the punter? Here it comes.

 

Well they finally get a edge rusher Quincy Roche

 

Because most of the time they only have two down lineman, Tuitt and Heyward.

 

Wasn’t he in that movie Point Break?

 

And as usual Pitt pick is in


Cut to Run Rich Run, the more endless commercials

who does the programming there for the last 5 years or so?

 

David Moore from Grambling State is still out there I think. He would be a great last pick

 

Quincy Roche was a top 100 player for me. Wonder why he fell so far?! Either way, this is stellar value here.

 

he had a great start at Temple

 

And depth was really needed there.

 

Time to retire or at least reevaluate over a good bottle of Jack

 

Not bad at all. Solid athlete but he does have great production; Miami even. He is going to be quite the steal as a rotational player for certain.

 

The Roche!

 

Have to give it to Andrew Berry. Guy is quickly making his mark as a General Manager. Keep in mind this is his second stint with the team as he was VP of Player Personnel with the Browns before.

 

He probably needs to gain 10 pounds for the NFL.



He had over 30 sacks, and 54 TFL in his college career.

 

?!


What is going on with Dylan Moses?! Yes he had an injury but my goodness. In 2019 he was a surefire 1st Round Pick. 2020 saw him as a Top 50 player. Whomever gets him this late is getting quite the steal.

 

Disagree about the weight gain.


Alex Highsmith played pretty well at 245lbs last season. I would suspect that Roche does the same. To me, they are borderline clones of one another.

 

Woohoo

HACK

 

Indeed.


I did not have him ranked nearly as high as you did but this pick is one of the biggest steals in the draft for sure.

 

I had him 3rd or 4th round. But saw him often in the first in mocks

I was watching him at the SR bowl and bfs was dominating with speed off the corner

I was watching the Oline... and finally I was like who is this kid?

HACK

 

Well when they need to set the edge, and going up against NFL OL an extra 10 pounds won't hurt.

 

T.J. Watt has been reported to play at 245lbs himself. He seems fine doing it. More to maintaining the POA than just merely gaining weight. Leverage, hand placement, footwork and motor are all essential as well.


For that matter, Highsmith got better at defending the POA as the year went on. I expect Roche to do the same; doubly so given his 14.5 TFL's at The U.
