I lost my password to this board before and couldn't remember the email I used to sign up. I just made a new account with SteelBuckeye. I was a dick when I was Commoncenz .... and I'm pretty much still a dick.

I mean, not just less than great, but full-blown dumpster fire terrible. After all that pre-draft studying, this is what they think was their best pick?

Those first rounders Pouncey, DeCastro, Heyward, Shazier, Watt, and Roethlisberger really sucked

Those second and third rounders Bell, JuJu, Davis, Gilbert, Sanders, Wallace, Hargraves, and Tuitt really sucked


And most especially the late round pick or UDFA starters in guys like Foster, or Williams were a waste of late draft picks

And to spend a 6th pick on a HOFer??? Horrible

The team they have now (due to draft) has made them a contending tem. If they nailed every earlyro ound pick
They might go 16-0 ......Name me 5 teams thathave drafted better then the Steelers in the last ten years.


And they keep picking late late in the rounds roo.
 
Why are we acting like this is the absolute end for Burns? Only his third year, and let's not forget that Ike had a pretty horrible year in which he was benched, and then turned it around. I'm not ready to just throw him aside. He has all the tools

^^^^

Anyone remember this thread?I badly wanted to take the trade down offerand pick Xavier Howard.He’s on Miami.In his past 26 games Howard has 7 interceptions,and 20 passes defended and a pick 6 score. We also had an extra 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] and I would have selected safety Simmons.

At any rate Howard > Burns.


25. Pittsburgh Steelers: Artie Burns | Grade: D
In a mismatch of skillsets and scheme, the Steelers take Burns with the hope that they can develop his 6-footplus frame into a dependable player. The problem here, much like the Apple pickto the Giants, is that the Steelers played more zone coverage than any team inthe league last year and that’s where Burns hashis struggles. His +2.8 coverage grade ranked 42nd in the draft class, andthough he does show skills as a man coverage cornerback, but his overall gameremains raw. If Pittsburgh plans on altering their scheme to play more mancoverage, this pick makes more sense, but at this point, it’s an example of acornerback’s size and speed moving him up a draft board at the expense of hison-field play.

^^^ So Colbert picked a guy who isn't good at zone when we play zone more thanany other team? Burns is an athlete playing CB.He's neither smart nor instinctive. If he sees the ball coming his way, he'smuch better. Can he learn? We shall see. I have seen him play. -Coach in 2016

25. Artie Burns, CB, Miami C- Grade
The Steelers typically take highly ranked players who fall to them. Think AlvinDupree, David DeCastro and Jarvis Jones. I figured they'd be all over MylesJack, but they went with a different strategy this year - reaching for asecond-round prospect. Artie Burns is certainly asecond-round player. He has great athleticism and size, but he's pretty raw fora player. That's pretty much the definition of a second-round prospect; notsomeone worth grabbing at No. 25 overall. There were better players availablefor the Steelers, such as Kendall Fuller, Jarran Reed or Andrew Billings. Idon't like this pick at all.

^^^ I agree, he's more of a round two type of player - Coach

Mike Mayock

Pick Analysis: "Burns is a tall cornerbackand he has world-class speed. He's very raw. I know teams with a third-roundgrade on Burns and others that believe he couldend up the best corner in this draft." -- Mike Mayock

^^^ World class speed? Not on his forty yard dash time Mr. Mayock. So teams had a mid round grade on Burns. Yes he has upside. -Coach.

For more information, see my scoring report on Burns. Pretty arcuate I think.

I was surprised at the pick. A few days before the draft, I had seen a couple of mocks with him as our pick. After the draft, it looked like he was a fine pick. Something seems off with his regression.

Sigh.....1) Someone else has to be involved in the trade down 2) You'd have to be sure the player you are targeting is still there 3) if you covet him that much, why not just take him in the first?
 
Pretty insane how much Burnt regressed this year. Its like he totally forgot how to play football.

correct, he proved he could be a sure #2, with hopes of improvement and then all felt apart this season.

we should start past mock drafts.

Doing a mock draft in hindsight is all cute and pretty but no one really knows how each player is going to turn out besides some of the elite players who are can't miss. The team thought they had something and they got Burnt. We will be drafting or signing a DB next offseason for sure.
 
I thought he had a pretty good rookie year, not sure what's up this year. He is only an injury away from starting again.

1 ) Sigh, we had the chance to trade down.

2 ) Howard was still there for us if we traded down in round one.

3 ) Burns is very close to being a bust.
