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

[Ryder71]

Corley gone.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Too bad. Malachai Corely just went. Hoped he might last.

Three guys I wanted at 51, Wilson, Frazier or Corley.

 

[WickedWrister]

Just imagine had they gone center first as many predicted.

How does JPJ and Blake Fisher sound instead of how it played out?

I wouldn't have hated Barton and Adonai Mitchell but prefer how it played out for us.

Jalen McMillan, Troy Franklin, Roman Wilson probably the best WR left

As I said above, center is undervalued. Much harder to get a top one as they are rarer than receiver. The Steelers seem to always find a great talent at WR without spending a pick in the top couple of rounds.

 

[MrBrightside]

It doesn't matter at all, but it's kind of cool that Fautanu grew up a Steelers fan and I presume Frazier did as well - everyone in Morgantown/Fairmont is.

 

[Goalie_Bob]

Looking at who is picking between now and the Steelers pick. Roman Wilson may make it 84.

Lots of teams that have WR rooms or have picked one already.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Subjective of course. But here is the continuously updated best available list from ESPN:

I'm pretty pumped right now.

And the biggest reason is the Steelers are following through with their stated intentions. There's a coherent philosophy. They want to bully people so they hire bullies.

There is also potentially an infrastructure emerging that really gives QBs a good chance to shine.

I also like Frazier. He was good - not outstanding, but good - value here according to most public forecasters. There's a lot of things to like about his skillset. Maybe he lacks perfect seal off side to side recognition and athleticism at this point and that bit worries me a tad but he's at 51, everyone has flaws.

People can point to WR and dropping value but dropping value really only means Adonai Mitchell, whose worst character reports make him sound a giant risk and quite probably is given what's happened.

And yeah the teams needs WR and needs it badly, but we all knew they were going to really struggle to get everything fixed. Wait and see what else Khan does but I'm fine with him not fixing everything. They've taken a big swing at fixing a giant part of their identity and that makes me happy.

This part is also true. I'm not sat here with a list of other teams' needs but you've got to think the list of teams seriously considering WRs in round 3 is fairly small at this point.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

ESPN's top rated undrafted is a CB, T. J. Tampa. He has the size too, as the Steeler's like. 6' 1" and almost 190. Long arms.

Have him the 8th best DB, 48th overall best player.

[T1K]

double tap WR might be the play here depending on who falls to us.

 

[Peat]

There's potentially some great value coming up at LB with Cedric Gray and Payton Wilson if they last too.

True but we desperately need a WR.

 

[Rave7215]

Payton Wilson's Injury history is scary. I'd prefer going after Jeremiah Trottier Jr.

Lot's of receivers still. Jalen McMillian, Roman Wilson, Troy Franklin.

T.J. Tampa still around as well.

Looks like we will have some very good options for our first third rounder.

Last I read was Wilson's been fine the last couple of years and his medicals were fine... which admittedly doesn't fit with him being there.

Can't say I've ever got the fuss about Trottier from what people say.

WR would seem to be the pick if available, but if it isn't, there's still some value at other spots.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Run on linemen, both offensive and defensive. Perfect for the Steelers.

 

[The Old Master]

wr, cb, lb any of the 3 would be nice

 

[Empoleon8771]

All of the OT being taken right now make me so much happier they took Fautanu in the 1st.

Fisher and Goncalves were 2 guys I was looking at with their 3rds, and both were taken even before their earliest 3rd. Fisher even went in the late 2nd.

 

[WickedWrister]

We gonna get another Huskie in McMillan?

Met with him and Troy Franklin at the combine

 

[OnMyOwn]

I’d take Tampa, Wilson or McMillan here.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

I want TJ Tampa. Size, lanky, long arms, hits.

 

[The Old Master]

I’d take Tampa, Wilson or McMillan here.

they can't all be gone when we pick
