Smith-Schuster, McDonald out … and maybe Conner, too

I guess it really is time to invest in a top flight TE. Which sucks. I like McDonald but **** he’s never on the field. It seems like a long time ago since we had one of my favorite players of all....HEATH!!

2nd round pick if the value is there. That would be a great investment regarding top need

We definitely need a WR or TE to scare defenses again. AB is a punk *** but he drew double teams and opened things up, we miss that, but not AB. Not sure if that's there where we draft in rd. 2 or not but its the top need

I have actually wanted to spend a high draft choice on a TE for years now. But we always seem to have a more important need somewhere else. Of course that free agent signing debacle a few years ago didn’t help. We never even seem to use TE anymore. Well except for blocking. Remember the chemistry between Ben & Heath,man,the amount of clutch first downs was something else.
 
What? What about Vannett? I thought since he and Rudolph were playing catch together that meant he was going to be his go to TE? Why aren't the Steelers taking advantage of his talent?

We are at the point where offense needs a good amount of attention. WR/RT/RB/TE. A lot of areas could use a tweak.

Don't worry, we will get that coveted 9 1st rounders in about 5 years. Or about the time our boy BEN is about br*dy's age now.






Salute the nation
 
Samuels will line up a lot as a TE in this one. He and one other back will probably be on the field alot.

They've spent 2nd round picks on WRs for three straight years.

TE? Yeah, but they have enough talent at WR. Juju just needs to get healthy, and Johnson and Washington are developing nicely. Johnson, specifically, has the looks of a player who will demand double teams as his game evolves.

I really think they need to look at OL and CB early in the next draft. The OL play has been shaky this year and Haden won't keep playing at his current level much longer.
 
Offensive line is at the top of my list. The line is highly paid and getting older. I know the guys showed up to play, but a couple of weeks ago we had four former undrafted free agents starting. They did well enough, but the line was at its best when they had high pedigree players. Would love to find an upgrade at the position.
 
if nico Collins and peoples jones declare for draft target Collins big fast WR perpect SE and go after a solid all around te someone 6"5 260 who can be get separation as well.
 
**** the draft, that **** is 6 months away, we still got games to win now!!!!

Why aren't we scouring practice squads for TE's to steal??? It worked for WR
 
so ur unbalanced line will be Vannett Gentry and Banner Washington and jhonson

With all due respect to Kevin Colbert, who I think is the real MVP ( MVP = Most valuable person ) this year, I do not want him to draft any more DB's in the early rounds! There are going to be 7-10 CB's off the board before we pick in round two anyways.


No more drafting DB's high, get them in free agency. With our pass rush, which free agent DB would not want play here? I think we are set at corner for 1-2 more seasons any. Safety is an issue, Fitz is all world. Edmunds has zero ball skills and is iffy on tackling. Davis, well he's a back up now but will be a free agent soon.


OT is a different issue. Big AL is having a bad year. Foster is getting older. I predicted the loss of Munchak would adversely impact the entire unit. It has.


RIght now, I'd lean toward RB in round two, unless Whyte breakouts out. Possibly TE or Tackle.
 
Conner expected to play, hope he can last

Shoulders don't heal quickly. I know this first hand. Just put him on IR and be done with it.
 
Run the wings off him

They couldn't pick a CB it it were fishes in a barrel, somehow they would screw it up. Late in the 2nd there's a better chance to get a productive TE to complement all the young WRs, a guy to be a threat in the middle in a rub route while diontae does shallow crosses, Washington goes vertical and Juju runs an out. Damnit gotta get free time to play Madden again
