I've read a lot (can't remember where or from whom) suggesting that Dobbs would be a better pro than college player. Let's hope that's true

Really need another DB in this draft, another pass rusher would be nice too but I have no idea who's left

Why? Kids got heart, but I'd don't see the talent or arm for this level.

Seems like heart/character was top of the list this year. Like the year we drafted for speed

Anybody upset they took a QB instead of DB or OLB here? Now you understand a bit more why i didn't like the Conner pick. I think it derailed the steelers draft. I knew they would take a QB somewhere because they talked to pretty much all of them.

Now if you were hoping for another OLB or DB in this draft, you are now looking at 5th round and later prospects who are probably going to the practice squad.

Dobbs. Hmmm..... I liked Peterman better. Thought they were going to double up on DB with that pick.

I think he will. Good arm. He can make all the throws. He reads defenses (when the Tennessee OL blocks someone). He understands schemes, offensive and defensive, knows where to go with the ball when the defense gives him certain looks. Gruden put him on a white board, laid out a play, laid out all the first options if it were man, then the second options if it was zone. Came back and asked Dobbs to give it back to him, you would have thought he ran the play his whole life, gave him all the routes, all the options, what happened if the defense changed, why he would go here versus there, just handed it all to him. I mean, he is an aerospace engineering major that was flying back to Tennessee to finish his last 6 credit hours while working out for the combine/pro days. He will graduate before he becomes a pro. Asked why he would play football if he could build airplanes, he said, because I love football. Airplanes can wait.

And if that Tennessee OL would block ANYONE, I mean anyone, and the WRs quit dropping passes, he might be right there with Mahommes.

First pick I didn't really like. The dude is smart as hell though

Yeah, but there was a much bigger need for a back up running back than a QB. This was a wasted ******* pick.

 

[steeltruckin]

Dobbs has more upside than Landry Jones.

 

[Harry_BZAC]

It'll just be nice to see less of Landry Jones from here on.

 

[awboatguy]

He's one of those guys who could be a hybrid as well. QB, WR, and RB if needed. Best running QB in this draft IMO.

I hope you are right....Let him develop...as I think Ben will play out his contract

 

[TDX27]

Steelers did really like Dobbs so who knows. On NFL network, one of the guys just said he has no doubt Dobbs will beat out Jones for No. 2 QB this year and may get on the field.

 

[Punxsutawney]

He's a Tennessee QB with an abnormally large forehead. History is on the Steelers' side.

He is NOT the heir apparent. Unless it's for LandryJonesStillSucks!

Look guys, I wanted Butts here even if we redshirt him........

Butt, Ben is really, really getting up there....Injuries last few years, & a couple of times we thought he was done for the year....

And we all cringe with landry Jones out there....So he passes Landry Jones on the depth chart and we go from there

He's got great tools, and great wheels....DAK went here last year

This had to be done...

 

[jitter77]
