I have talked myself into Hockenson, a MLB in the 2nd round, and a CB in the 3rd. Deep CB class, allegedly.

You poor poor soul lol.

I would love Lawerence... but we all know we wont be high enough to get him in 2/3 yrs.

We will he in QB hell once Ben retires for probably another 10-20 yrs.

 

[USMC607]

Really well spoken kid. Got mitts and speed too.

Hope hes there for our early 3rd pick. But i bet he goes in the 2nd.

Nah they won't wait that long. Theres guys they could sign to replace Ben if Rudolph isnt the answer. And if he isnt...and we do have a year where we miss the playoffs again and lets say finish with 15th pick. We will trade up to get our QB.

Wont be as bad as some think. And we should have a top defense by then too. Solid offense. As much as some complain about the Steelers ...we are like the St Louis Cardinals..we just dont go away. Well ran franchise.

Compare us to others around the league( other than Pats of course) and people will appreciate us more.

It's crazy how NE fans forget how bad their org was until Brady and Bill showed up.

They were awful. Minus 2 shots at the superbowl were they ran into juggernauts both times.

But I guess 19 yrs of being on top and 6 SBs in that span can make one forget.

Emmanuel Sanders: When I left Steelers, Kevin Colbert said I’m no Antonio Brown

Did anyone see this?

At the time that happened, Colbert was right. Sanders was no AB. Had AB been bat-shit crazy like he is now, then perhaps events would have transpired differently. But in 2014, no GM would have taken Sanders over Brown.

I’m not saying they should have picked Sanders over Brown... but Colbert basically told Sanders he was worthless and had no right to turn down their offer (which was pure garbage) in so many words

I’m sure it didn’t go down exactly like he said, and there are two sides to every story. I suspect Sanders said some dumb shit and Colbert fired back. There were enough rumors in Pgh about he and Brown calling themselves Young Money, but only one was worth a big contract at that point.

This is a guy who never broke 750 yards and he was acting like he deserved some big deal?

Steelers have churned out flankers, so over paying a guy who had avg numbers wasn’t smart business.

Didn't the Steelers first offer Sanders the contract that Brown eventually signed??? That's how I remember it going down. IF so, Sanders is a flat out liar.

I still think Colbert along with Tomlin should be shown the door. It's time.

Edit, nope. that was the Wallace contract.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

No surprise, but official now.

Someone at his pro day told him to keep his phone on day 1 of the draft.

I hope it wasn't us.

BYE

Dude was a flop. He looked like a guy trying to cash a check.

Yeah it was Wallace who they offered that same deal to and he turned it down and then they gave it to AB almost immediately after

I’m not even sure he was asking for the same deal Brown got. My point was that Colbert even though he didn’t come right out and say it basically told Sanders that he wasn’t worth enough to reject a deal from them. It comes across as Colbert acting like no one should ever reject an offer if it’s from the Steelers, regardless of how trash it is.

Wonder what Ben did to him...

The Steelers love to talk about their stability within the organization and there is some credit due for it. But there is a huge downside when employees don't feel pressured to do better and aren't pushed by ownership.

Welcome to the dark side.

the more i read up on Hockenson, the more i want the Steelers to grab him.

the more i want the Steelers to grab someone, i fear, the less likely it becomes that they actually get that guy.

so maybe i should want Hockenson a little less.

(i'm not usually superstitious, but i am a little stitious)

TE is the last area of need
