Day Three - Draft

[johnsteeler]

Kinda surprised we didn’t take Brenden Rice. Thought he’d be gone by now. I guess he’s overrated because of his name maybe…

 

[mightyguru]

Dane Brugler says he's a Safety.

 

[KStilley]

Oh yea, here is great. Love this pick.

 

[Pittsburgh Charlie]

Like the size!

 

[bermudasteel]

maybe he will shut up now.

Who is "he"???

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

HOMETOWN

He is a Big'un

nobody will make it off the line of scrimage.

 

[Steeltime]

Watts fits the new template for Steelers CB's - tall, very long arms.

6'3", 208 lbs., 34 1/2" arms. Ran a 4.53 and not a great cover CB. Lots believe he could be a solid safety. I dunno - guy that big can jam the **** out of a receiver.

 

[maowv]

Looks like a Strong Safety in the making

Who is "he"???

You know... I dont want to say his name or he will show up.

 

[SteelerFan448]

I know nothing about him and quickly learned safety seems like his best fit in the NFL. 6'3" with long arms.

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

Watts is a physical freak 6'3 with 34 inch arms, run stuffer, not that quick, may have to play safety.

Candy man?

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

Candy man?

no.. DumDum man.

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

Watts seems like a project. I would have preferred King from PSU who would have likely contributed as a rookie.

Something always has to fall through the cracks each draft. This year it's DBs. Steelers putting a lot of weight on new guys Deshaun Elliott and Donte Jackson.

He's a safety IMO, what a get.

This is a very good pick where they got him. Special teams and eventually starting safety

Steelers have JPJ, Donte Jackson, Corey Trice rehabbed (fingers crossed), and Darius Rush. The starters are solid, the depth is the issue.

cam sutton and Pat pete waiting in the wings.

That;s why I liked King. He's a known quantity with lots of starts under his belt. It would have felt good to have a guy like that among all the projects.

 

[xjx]

Ok. Let's get these guys to camp and spin the wheels.

 

[BLITZ]

can one of these 6th rounders be as productive as an AB? who knws but probs not

 

[KStilley]

They're drafting him as a safety imo. He has great measurables, size and played corner. He can transition to safety and if he played there at Texas, would have gone day two minimum.

 

[Steeltime]

Watts probably breaks 4.50 in the 40 if he runs without the gold chain that got stuck on his chin.

[FordFairLane]

I would trade a 2025 6th for an early 7th in 2024 to snag Brenden Rice, Eric Watts, Curtis Jacobs or Gabe Hall. Wondering if there’s medical reasons they are still on the board.
