Official Day 2 Draft Discussion May 1st

Well, good for Gregory. And we can watch and see if he becomes the next LT without him being in our division or conference.
 
Terrible pick. Had to pull a trigger on trading up, and stepped on their dick. We will have the smallest seconcdary in the league. Let that sink in for a minute.

A cornerback who ranked fifth in draft class in QB rating in passes thrown his way, plus he actually has ball skills. Probably a round early, but they were going to have to reach if they wanted a cornerback with the way things were falling.

Can you unpack that.....not quite sure I understand.......
 
Cowboys pick Gregory. They have the infrastructure in place to babysit since they do it with Bryant.

did I say I was excited about the pick? he said the secondary has sucked under tomlin....that is the point I was addressing
 
**** the Ravens for stealing Maxx from us.
 
CoolieMan said:
for most of it he has had Troy, Ike and Ryan Clark....those three were pretty good together. Gay showed improvement last season also...the lack of pressure up front makes the group look worse than they probably are...

they need improvement, but haters like you are just going overboard

we have been torched over the years by every good QB we have faced . Tomlin was awful in his ony t=year as DC in Minnesota finishing last in pass deense and he now has a bunch of midgets in ur secondary in a league getting bigger and bigger at the receiver oosition, no shoc that Tomlin is again behind on the learning curve, mediocre coach, stupid man.

Tomlin is not running the draft by himself....
 
Gregory looks old as hell...

New Steelers CB Senquez Golson allowed a QB Rating of 44.9 on throws into his coverage, 5th best in this class.

Ball skills http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/senquez-golson?id=2552264
STRENGTHS Outstanding competitor with plus ball skills. Production was off the charts in 2014. Had 9 interceptions and 16 pass deflections. Explosive through lower body. Instinctive. Can twitch and trigger to break on the ball. Can mirror in space and closes down passing windows. Plays with smooth hips and good balance. Can open hips to turn and run and has good top-end speed. Willing and effective against the run. Maintains leverage against the run and can disengage to make aggressive tackle when necessary. Has good eye discipline and can focus on his man and the quarterback at the same time.

Who lasts until pick in third? Golson, Williams, Rollins, Carter? After this group, rest of the cornerback class is meh.
 
I think we drafted him to cover Dri in practice.

Also, according to Del, he ran a 4.46
 
Golson is comparable to Dri Archer but Golson has 3 lbs on him. Besides that they are virtually the same size player.

Don't worry Steeler Nation....Gronk only outweighs Golson by 90 lbs and is 10 inches taller. We should be ok for opening night!

According to Tomlin, Archer kicks our defense's ***, so that makes sense.
 
So what great player is going to fall into the Patriot's lap now?
 
So who got the better OLB CB tandem in Rounds 1 and 2? Steelers or Cowboys?

Discuss....

Butler would probably have Shazier on him, or a guy like Mike Mitchell, no? But carry on...
