OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: New Quarter Backs for the Handball team!

[T1K]

khan will take the full amount of time on the clock looking for trades

No Fuaga was drafted…Fantanu

Yep my mistake, I thought Fantanu was the one taken.

 

[Goalie_Bob]

Seriously. Can we give the QB talk a rest. Let’s talk draft.

 

[Peat]

Position value makes it crazy to take Barton over Mitchell, though.

And that's a fair argument, but I don't want to hear shit from people saying "take BPA" when they take Barton.

 

[Ugene Magic]

While I obviously have preferences here, this pick is really a no-lose situation for the Steelers IMO. Either they get the best corner in the draft (Mitchell), the best center in the draft (Barton) or another great RT prospect (Fuaga).

Fuaga went 14 OA

Mushed this take immediately

 

[Empoleon8771]

Troy Fautanu 20th overall.

 

[MrBrightside]

It's Fuatanu

 

[Goalie_Bob]

Well then.

 

[Andy99]

That guy is old and a guard lol

 

[MrBrightside]

BigDaddyK and his Dan Moore fathead are sad.

 

[Shaftception]

I'm not gonna pretend I'm upset, building the line is important, but this'll be an interesting what if years down the line with the supposed corner talent available at the pick, but oh well hope for the best with building the line.

 

[Peat]

Wonder what the plan is. There's people talking up versatility to play all 5 positions, but he's mainly been a LT, no?

 

[Rave7215]

Troy Fautanu 20th overall.

Perfect. Now go get a C in the second

 

[MrBrightside]

That guy is old and a guard lol

No he isn't.

 

[Empoleon8771]

The interesting thing to me with Fautanu is that he actually seems to fit the bill of a LT a bit more than RT, so that makes me wonder if Jones would be moved to RT with the pick. But regardless, no complaints about using back to back 1sts on tackles. This team is going to be set up great with Jones and Fautanu going forward.

 

[The Old Master]

we got to go cb
oh well it's all good

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

Love Cam, congrats man

 

[Empoleon8771]

I think both he and Mitchell were projected to go higher than 20th.

 

[Flying Dego]

we got to go cb

No they like our top 2 CBs.

WR and C are next worries

 

[Empoleon8771]

 

[WickedWrister]

Ok, made the smart pick. 11th on Jeremiah's big board

 

[JTG]

Let's mother f***ing go!

 

[Andy99]

No he isn't.

Except they just said he’ll have to move inside and he’ll be 24 in October

 

[Peat]

Also apparently there was buzz about his knees being an issue a couple of days ago.

Still. Great value by most boards and analysts I've seen, no argument there.

Except they just said he’ll have to move inside and he’ll be 24 in October

The move inside thing is unsure. He's unusually short to stick at tackle, but he's got the arms. It wouldn't surprise me if he's a tackle. It wouldn't surprise me if he's a center. It wouldn't surprise me if he's a guard long term either. Lot of choice projected.

Makes sense the Steelers would have him with how much Tomlin loves versatile OL.
