I think this is a reach...Don't really like it; but, eh, it is what it is...Welcome to the team, son...

SPARQ was off the hook. And was considered by most to be a top 10 - 15 pick. We'll see ... Seems like they are really using the SPARQ these last two drafts. It'll be interesting to see if it continues the next two days.
 
I predicted him too. Check out my picks in the other threads I wanted Dupree, then PJ Williams in rd 2

I can live with that. Hope he works out. Kind of admitting that Jones is a bust.

Not at all, Bud Dupree is your starting LOLB out of the block, beating out Moats in Latrobe. Write it down.
 
He fills a need and has the size to handle LOLB. Sensible pick.
 
Now it would be great if we get ziggydewa in the second and Jones in the third woohoo.:thumb:
 
Welcome to Pittsburgh, Bud

He's got the size and the ability to hold down that LOLB position, honestly should start from day 1 if he isn't an ******* between now and then

Focusing on the SPARQ has to be implicitly admitting the mistake they made with Jarvis
 
****!!! We need ******* corners... As of right now, our best CB is William Gay... Let that sink in for a minute.... Willie Gay is our best corner!!! And once again we don't address that position ....

I dont think thats the case. Dupree will be LOLB in our defense.

Meh, it's not like players never switch sides.
Conversations we'd like to hear at Steelers HQ:
Jarvis: "Why'd you draft an outside linebacker in the first round when you have me?"
Tombert: "Because you suck."

And Harrison on the right

That's what I see. Bud on the left and Harrison/Jones on the right. Bud is a perfect fit for LOLB. My only issue is that he lacks pass rushing moves and he is raw. I don't think he can start this year. You could see him hesitate when he played at Kentucky. I can't imagine him being able to read his Qs in the NFL right now.
 
I am sure the Rats or Cheats will take Gregory and that will just piss me off to no end!
 
My edge rusher board as we hit #22:

Dupree
Odighizuwa
Ray
Gregory

I stacked the 260+ guys...we really needed a talented guy to plug in on the left side. Perfect pick, let's pray there's a solid CB sitting there tmrw...
