Build your own mock

Why not take Ford’s bet? Because you know you will lose.

Your proffer is pertaining to a rookie punter, who hasn’t even been drafted, nor as to which team he may end up with, which has all the reasons for statistical measurement at a position where stats only are incompatible for evaluation. If it walks like, talks like and backtracks like a moron, it probably is.

It looks like you shrink every time I mention that Dickson will out produce Berry. You won't take my bet because you KNOW I'm likely correct :)

The Steelers seldom draft punters, so I agree with Ford that the odds are they won't. This doesn't change the fact that Berry is rated at the bottom in many areas of punting, and Dickson according to scouts who do this for a living is the best punting prospect in years. We could have Dickson for much cheaper as well. A 5th round contract for 5 years vs. 1.9 Million a year for Berry. You do the math, we'll save a good amount on the cap and have a better player. This is why I'm for it.
 
Ronnie Harrison S Alabama
Josey Jewel ILB Iowa
Tim Settle DT Virginia Tech
Bo Scarbrough RB Alabama
Jalen Samuels WR/TE/RB/RET N.C. State
Martinis Ranking OT Mississippi St.
Darrius Phillips CB Western Michigan

That's a pretty realistic (and solid) draft except for Ranking being around in the 7th round. He'll prob go rnd 2-3.
 
This thread is funny.
 
28. ILB - Vander Esch

60. Saftey - Bates

92. RB - Penny

148. Linebacker Jefferson

165. Punter - Dickson

220. Saftey - Apke

246. Offensive Tackle - Cappa

I think he’s a pro bowl level punter and over a million a year cheaper than Berry. I’m also okay with a punter in round 7.

The Steelers probably won’t draft a punter but I’ll bet anyone Dickson has a higher average per punt in the NFL

It appears you don't understand the vocabulary usage of shrink" in a conversation. Bolded above is the Back track responses to your own statements.

The only thing that shrinks around here is your continuing reputation as a player evaluator, much less a draft prognosticator....which in itself is ridiculous.

You mock the Steelers drafting a punter in the 5th, yet ADMIT they will not draft one. Sweet Christmas you are the definition of clueless.

As for me shrinking about taking your bet on production from a player who has no team yet, Well to do so would put me at your level of ignorance. Why? Only a fool as yourself would bet on production for a position that isn't measured on production. It's measured on situational down, spot and distance you idiot. A person who averages 65 yds per punt doesn't mean he is out producing someone at the POSITION who averages 49 yards per punt. What's the spot average? what is the touchback average? Yards per return average? You must eat a lot of fiber to push out all the BS you have in you.

I'll bet you $100 for board contribution that no punter will be drafted before the 5th round, that's more than considerate since you think he is a round 2 talent. I doubt you take it straight up.

Why before the 5th round, meaning round four or sooner. I say a punter will be drafted before the 6th round. And mocked him in round five.

So are we are or do you have more room to shrink? Bet: Punter taken in the draft before round 6 starts. Terms 3-month avatar of custom choice, politics and X rated stuff not suitable for the board do not apply. Since I am not a currently a subscriber, I'll be buying into the board if I lose.


Sorry Ike, your so full of &hit, I'm beginning to think you must have flush handles for ears. You make no real predictions, only question mine, then quickly pivot away when challenged. The ball's in your court.


PS: I think you confused. My mock is who I want the Steelers to draft.

If I mocked a draft on who I think the Steelers want that would be a little different, Comprende?

From what the Steelers have been doing in terms of visits, dinners, and pro days these are the positions the Steelers want to address. ILB, S, and WR. To a lesser extent QB, RB, DL, and CB.

In my opinion the Steelers are happy with Jordan Berry. So I feel the very earliest they’d draft a punter is round 7. If they got their top 3 needs round 1-3 then filled maybe what they believe could be need positions in RB and NT. Then and only then and only if a punter like Dickson was around in the 7th.

That’s my thoughts.

Edit: maybe Johnny Townsend if he was there.

Scotty,

Harrison isn't fast, more of an in the box deluxe run defender type. More of a round two kind of talent, I think. This link said he ran a 4.63 at his pro day. TOO SLOW for a safety

http://draftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=1002810&draftyear=2018&genpos=SS


Jewel ran a 4.82 at the combine. Same speed as Tyler Matakevich, actually Matakevich ran a 4.81 at the combine. This to me says two-down linebacker, not worth a 2nd round pick.

Neither picks 1 or 2 fit with the modern passing NFL.


Settle would be a solid choice in round three, but I like Phillips, and Payne better. Settle wasn't very active regarding tackles and only had one year where he got a sack.

Like you said, much depends if they get their needs early. The odds are they won't draft a punter, as they seldom do.

Then again, Colbert spent a 6th round pick on a long snapper in 2017, and another 6th to acquire Josh Scobee, a kicker.

I think this draft has better punter's than Berry, and, making 1.9 million a year, we'd save a lot on the cap. Rookie 5th round pick for 4-5 years vs. 1.9 million a year. You can do the math, but I'll stand on the above points.

Yes as predicted......you balked and changed parameters....and you are a tool. A clueless one at that.

Why before 5th round? Because you mocked on your own that PItt would pick a punter in the 5th. I'm betting a punter won't be picked period before your 5th round prediction. If you are so warm and fuzzy with the next great punter in the NFL (based on his college achievements) then it would be obvious he would be picked before Pitt. Berry had greater accolades at LSU than Dickson in college, I don't see All-Pro in Berry at all. Just a good punter who does what the Special Teams Coord asks him to do.

And Coach, you better look in the mirror as to who you are calling full of it, because you definitely show more than enough people here that you are the embodiment of having brains full of it.

I offered a bet, just like Ford did. But as you did with Ford, you declined, tried to change and arrange another bet to your liking so as to help you save face.

I could care less about Avatar rights, and would think the terms given was a win/win for Justin's Board and keeps you from being a freeloader of member space. But as the narcissist that you are, that wouldn't fit your attention seeking agenda.

I said 5th round, so why not bet me on that round???? We both know why. You think I'm right; you just can't admit it.

If you don't care about Avatar's, a six-month membership for me, or donation or the board by me contributing again is fine for terms of the bet. I'm pretty sure I'm right and you're afraid to put it to the test!

All you do is move the goalpost back. I said 5th round for a punter to be drafted, to challenge me, you can agree. Instead, you say 4th round. Typical...

I would prefer giving you a suitable avatar, so I'm making a concession here on a wager you'll run from.

As an FYI I did pay for six months here. Hardly a freeloader. You get lots of stuff wrong, Ike. I am in fact one of the oldest active posters here.

You sure seem to like replying to me Captain flush handles. : )
 
And I've been pretty clear all along, that the Steelers won't draft a punter AT ALL. That's a solid bet this year.

The Steelers like Barry for his strengths, that I can easily see.

Others may not be able to see those strengths if they only look at punting average.

You numbnuts definitely have a serious reading problem. I placed a bet for $100 of board contribution. READ ABOVE. That means if I win, YOU pay the board $100 contribution. If you win, I will pay $100 board contribution. I challenged you that Pitt (or any team you idiot) wouldn't pick a punter before the 5th round. But since you have the confidence of a teenager on her period, I will modifiy the bet that no team will pick a punter before Pitt's 1st 5th rounder (pick 148). Take the bet, no further modifications....or cry a river like the back tracker that you are.

Oh, wow, you paid for a six months subscription....so generous for someone who been posting on this board for over 3 years (or in your words one of the oldest active posters here, which makes your freeloading even more pronounced if it were remotely true). The fact you start so many "look at me! look at me!" threads clogging the board of real discussion belays your generosity.

Oh, BTW, if I get anything wrong, I own up to it and admit it. Unlike you, who lives for the attention, and wouldn't admit you were wrong even claimed the world was flat. You can't even admit the premise of your legacy on this board. You were wrong about Polamalu because you thought, laughably, he had too big of a head.

I'm replying because your comments in this thread ask me to. Get a tutor and get a reading comprehension refresher. As stated previously, like other posters, when I see BS, I call it. So far you have a lot of folks calling out your BS.
 
Your becoming boring. I said 5th round or sooner for a punter to be drafted.

If you want to attempt to correct me the bet is a punter will be taken before round six.

You can’t be that stupid.

Coach is right, before round 6 = a 5th round pick.

So a day later.... you cave again.

And it’s obvious you are a backpedaling tool. In your own mock, you had Pitt picking a punter in the 5th. So the bet was from Pitt’s 5th rounder.

Now you, AGAIN, want to modify the bet so as to weasel out of it. Just admit it, you never will accept an offered bet straight up, because you can’t even hold to your own BS.

Nobody is correcting you. You are just doubling back on one of your ridiculous musings.
