Draft Thread Round 1

OK. Never attend the draft. Everything about it sucks. Watching on TV is the way to go. That is all.
 
Damn, the Jets are having a great draft. I have no idea how many picks they had and where they were, but to have 3 first rounders is impressive. The Steelers are sitting on 12 picks when there is no way they need them all. I'm hoping they make some moves in the next round.
 
It’s time to consider our gm is in way over his head… he’s never worked anywhere but here and it’s not like we are setting the world on fire on the management side… pretty mediocre for the most part. His picks have been mediocre this bs with a qb older than dirt waiting around till camp to decide if he’s playing or not is getting really old! Why Can’t we get a good young coach with some good young players and line up and hit those ******** in the face mask!?!? Why can’t we do that?

His drafts have actually been good and much better than the couple of years leading up to when he took over.

Philadelphia (and the Steelers had he fallen to them) didn't draft him for his intelligence and speech making abilities, they drafted him for his ability to run around and catch a ball.

With how the board fell, I thought there were two good players in that upper echelon of talent left: Lemon and Thieneman. Given that Khan/Weidl have basically only drafted premium positions in the first two rounds, Thieneman was a long shot, leaving Lemon as the clear choice and we didn't use any of our picks to move up and secure him. The Steelers went for pure need at that point. The plus side is, even though this guy is a project, I believe our new OL coach has a pretty good track record developing lineman from his days in Green Bay.

Lemon has been very odd during the draft process and he sounded like an idiot post pick. Not mad we didn't draft him

I'd be fine with not taking him if not for the fact the steelers were actually on the phone with him. He was their guy. They got punk'd.

Cooper off the board now. Boston will likely be off the board early Rd 2. Now they have to pick multiple WRs and hope one hits. God forbid, Metcalf or Pittman gets injured.

If they punt on QB again and wait for the 27 draft, then when do they get the WR for him to throw to? I assume the 1st pick will be QB. So i guess they'll be waiting until Rd 2 next year again.

They better be right on Iheanachor.
 
Terrible pick. Reminds me of the Giants. Taking someone you could get in the second round in the first round and losing out on all the best players at a position of need. This kid is huge but nowhere near ready to start in the NFL which a first round draft pick should be.
 
I don't know much about the guy the Steelers drafted, but I'm thinking they felt the talent drop off at that position of need they picked was greater than the talent that will be around for their second pick at other positions.

Jones must have been pissed at the Rooneys for that third rounder they had to give up for Pickens considering they traded with a hated division rival that gives their rival a nice offensive weapon to use against them at least twice a year.
