This is a receiver the Steelers could use

With Mike Wallace all but gone Terrance Williams of Baylor could be a deep threat he's 6-1 and 190lbs and was RG III main target in college. He might be around in the 2nd or 3rd round.

 

A lot of places I've seen this guy going in the first...be no later than the 2nd...not sure where i'd want them to take a WR...hmmm

 

I'm warming to the idea of taking one of the Tennessee WR's, Cordarelle Patterson. Not our main need, but if we insist on taking a WR early, I'd hope it's him. Big, fast enough, has some physicality, and crazy legs (he can make people miss pretty easily).

Not high on my priority list at all, but I'd be ok with it. I think the way we ran the offense last year a RB is higher priority than WR.

 

what do you think about darick rodgers from tenn tech ? he was suspended in 2011 but seems has great talent

 

I live in Knoxville which is where he was suspended from. He's a moron really. He would rather smoke marijuana than play football or go by the rules. I've asked a few people around here about him and they all say they don't think he would be worth the risk. It's sad that people can have so much talent and squander it. I'd say given our recent draft history we need to stay away from the "questionable character" guys.

 

there is this late under the radar gem from georgia southern u. that could be an udfa. michael berry WR 6-3 206 runs between 4.35- 4.46. nice fast bigger target nobody has heard of. hope our scouts are digging deep for talent. as far as drafting, i still like cory fuller from va.tech as a sleeper about rd.6. they need to be able to block downfield too and help the run game. we miss that about hines. it made a huge difference.

 

The key for us drafting a WR is someone who is big, physical, and catches the ball with his hands more than anything else including speed. I want them to run solid routes, but the key is really that they fight for that ball and use their body to make it happen. Someone like Boldin. Someone like Demaryius Thomas. Thomas is 6'3 229. Mike Wallace might be the 6' tall he is listed at and 199. That 30 lbs changes the way you do things. Thomas still runs 4.4 or 4.5 40 times. The guy is still fast.

 

Agreed. It'd be nice to have this. Not knocking the guys we have now...but to add someone different to the mix could really help.

 

I agree with you but sometimes you gotta pull the trigger. I always remember that we passed on Dan Marino because he smoked some pot in college. Imagine....we would have like 10 rings. The 80s and 90s were awful for the Steelers at QB.

 

fuller has moved up to the 5th now and may go higher before it's over. we still need a deep threat guy, he fits that bill, but so do some later round or udfa guys.

nicholas edwards e.wash.

tyler shaw n.w. missouri st. ****** i really like this guy as a sleeper.

michael berry southern u. is a big target, with speed, buried deep in the receiver ranks.

tavoy moore c.wash. if ya get a chance , check this catbird out. before you say he's a rainey clone, look again.

don't forget we have moye under contract. he's 6-5.

 

trust me. darick is not going to make it in the nfl. he is lazy and thinks he is intitled. he does not like to compete for playing time. he thinks it should just be giving to him. cordarrell patterson is the same way. he showed up his coaches when he was not in the ballgame. there was a report and i confirmed it with a player that during the georgia game patterson was asked to come out after running a reverse. when they gave him a play to come in and run he refused. told coach that you wanted me out of the game see if you can score without me. he is an idiot

 

so leave it we had already a moron in wallace

 

Completely agree. I don't see the need for a receiver in round 1 the way some people do. I like Brown and Sanders and Cotchery. I think we can definitely afford to get someone in a mid round and use him situationally and bring him along slowly.

But if we go early... I like this guy's highlights a lot. His movement is great for a guy his size. He's even a good kick returner. Perfect type for us. But still, I don't want one in round 1. In round 2, I'll take him.

if we go in the 2nd, i'd prefer woods from usc.

 

I would go with cooper from Texas in the second. He is shooting up draft boards and will probably go even higher when he runs in the 4.2s at the combine but man talk about a clone of Wallace though I think he has a little more grit to him then Wallace.

 

Oops I don't know why I put cooper down but yes I'm talking about him. From what I've read Texas really misusedthis kid.

 

What about taking a shot at denard Robinso bring the El factor back.
