Wouldn't mind this pickup....

I think way back in the day a discussion of drafting him in round one. Was a topic due to size limitations...

But bringing him in as a slot WR / returner, why not..

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

probably worth it for the returns alone. IDK. Just know we need to have AB stop doing any. Slot is a position I can see him competing for.

 

[TDX27]

He'd be an OK addition but if they are going to spend any money in free agency, it should be on D.

 

[F83]

would be a great slot addition and we wont need to add a wr via the draft till late, especially with rogers injury.

 

[SteelerSask2]

I liked Juju on the outside. You could throw an upgrade in the slot over Rogers. Trade or keep Bryant one more season.

This guy isn't very good at any aspect of football. Fumbles on about 12% of his punt returns. For such an "explosive" guy, his receiving and running stats are trashy. Maybe at the minimum. Maybe my opinion of him is severely colored by him getting on of the largest WTF contracts in NFL history.

Is Pryor available? I know he was injured last year, but not sure what his contract situation is. I would take a shot at him. Should be cheap / PA guy. He was not good w/ the skins, but was good Pryor *bada bing* to that.

Tommy Tom was said to like him too.

 

[Omar10213245]

I would use him ONLY in a returner role

 

[swal75]

7 Kick returns in the last 4 years and he got benched from Punt Returns last year cause he couldn't stop fumbling? You can basically get a bum off the street that will do as good or better.

He wasn't used right / would look good in Black & Gold / vet minimum................................





Salute the nation

so austin can play safety?

 

[tjack]

No thanks. Can we draft Pitt's WR Quadree Henderson instead?

Ahhh I meant the slot WR, Kick/Punt Returner spot.

I was just joking on what Lito said.

I do think I prefer the Steelers draft a WR, this is a solid group....

 

[CoolieMan]

would much rather wee a WR taken late in the draft

I think it is a good possibility one is picked within the first three rounds. Unless a RB gets in the way.

Exactly. Austin fumbles too much to be a punt returner and Henderson from what I’ve read is a 7th or UDFA.

Hopefully with our needs at ILB, SS, NT and a possible replacement for Bell, we can focus on a WR in rnd-7

 

[Coach]

Smurf receivers are no longer in vogue.

I hear that Dri Archer is available (166 pages)
