I like they are bringing a bunch in and don't think this is the end of it. Obviously they stayed position specific on this round of visits but I BET you'll see ILB / NT / S and other positions as well. They will try and keep the smoke rolling but I know with closer vision we might be able to figure out who they may be targeting in the early rounds. Does anyone here actually think any of these mentioned will be our first or possibly our second round pick??? HHHmmmmmmm?

Thanks for posting !!!!

man looks like a lot of TEs. Not a single defensive player listed very interesting

Oh it is early I expect by the time it is all said and done there is a slew of D prospects listed.

Remember they started off I believe with O prospects. I believe the D prospects have yet to participate.

I think perhaps between 3 and 7 that is possible,

One of these three if I had to guess:

Will Dissly TE Washington (blocking TE)- One T down, perhaps he could be a swing blocker
Mike Gesicki TE Penn State - He is buddies with Jesse James
Troy Fumagalli Wisconsin TE - Would fit the Steelers well
 
Why would we look at Jackson. Doubt he is a NFL QB and he won't give in on playing another position.

They evaluate all positions. If they are interested perhaps they think he can be a successful NFL QB.

Or maybe they are just setting their board.
 
Love the WR Washington kid from OSU...where is he slotted to go?

The other WR i like is the Memphis kid, Anthony Miller...AB clone.

Andrews an inch taller and almost ten pounds heavier had a 4.5 er too.

Both helped their stock....

Damn Gesicki did well with the BJ and bench too.Dude is a combine stud.

I mentioned in another thread Gesicki is 6'-6' and put up the best vertical for a TE at 41.5". That's crazy. No CB or S can cover that. I'd love to have him over china doll Vance. I doubt it happens but if he's there in Rd. 3, I'd take him and I might think about taking him in Rd. 2. Ben would love that target, especially in the redzone.

The liberalism runs deep in the Rooney’s. They draft black QB after black QB but none stick. If they blow a 4th or later I can deal with it but if they blow a first to third I will be sick.

If we could get Evans and then Gesicki in the 2nd, I'd be very happy with the entire draft. I watched Gesicki play a lot the last 2 years and he would be a difference maker for our O and would ease the burden if we lose Bell after this year.

Vick stuck in the NFL and he has a lot of similar traits.

We have bigger needs, but not ready to label him as a bust just because he is a running black QB.

Twinge of racism here..........
