Schefter reports that Jones suffered setback regarding neck injury

Which leads me to ask whether or not the Steelers would have been better off if Loop makes the kick ... never mind.

Well Harbage is better off with the miss.

I hope with real coaching he bounces back and has. An incredible year.

Hope springs eternal, I guess. He'll be lucky to be healthy enough to beat out Dylan Cook for the starting job. Recovering from cervical spinal fusion surgery is not easy. Especially when your job is dishing out and absorbing dozens of violent impacts again and again.

Weird thst cane out 3 days before draft

That’s a great point. Neither the Steelers or Jones are under any obligation to announce that this time of year…..

Is it a Khan smoke screen?

Or were they trying to keep it on the down low and it got out.

Probably this ^^

No team wants their adversaries to know of a potential draft need being created five days before the draft.

i certainly understand the mindset of not wanting to move players around, but as has been said, Fautanu was a LT before being drafted. Starks may be an anomaly, but he did well after being moved. Fautanu did well his first season at RT.

For the sake of discussion - say the top LTs are gone at 21 or we're offered a very nice trade. The first is a real possibility. Moving Fautanu to LT isn't out of the question at this point. Cook was getting abused the more teams became aware of his tendencies and abilities.

So we're on the clock Taken are Mauigoa, Freeling, Lomu, Fano, Proctor, Iheanachor, and Miller.

Suddenly we're on the outside looking in on the gone Tackles. So we go BPA, instead of Position of Need.

I'd not hesitate to move Fautanu over to LT in this situation.

no way all of them are gone too beside Mauigoa, one between Lomu, Miller and Iheanachor will be available

Looks like they have finally signed Hoffman. They are going Tackle first.
