Hoping for TE, IOL, WR and a Scat Back type RB

I see OGs and DTs that I like for tomorrow. Beef, it’s how we fill out this draft.

Some don't bitch quite as much.......

Whatever, the whole thing started because a poster mentioned we could have had Nolan Smith and Hyatt over Johnston and Tulu. I simply voiced a personal opinion i would have preferred that pair. Opinions on here are ok right?

And somehow that got turned into "i think i know more than the Chargers"

Actually like the Henley pick…athletic LB that can run.

Is Henley better than K9?

[Charge!]

We are 4 deep at TE. I just can’t see them picking another TE in this draft. They’d be competing against Stone Smartt who the Bolts like. Unless Washington falls so far they can’t ignore him.

we only have 2 that are worth keeping.... lol...and neither is consistent or a number one TE.....

I like this draft, but I don’t think the pundits grade it highly. It was a draft for need and team fit. There were always higher graded players available when we picked. Que sera sera.

Maybe he'll make K9 better???

[Boltjolt]

I'm surprised. Staley hates lbs. I'm more surprised it wasn't another safety

Signed one, drafted one. Putnthat myth to bed. He just didn't like OUR LBs lol. Id try and trade Murray....like I said last year.

More of a Tranquil replacement, since K9 has one more prove-it season.

No worries, you're fine and you may be right! Don't worry about all the posters that are into positive thinking! That kind of thinking is so childish like building sand castles in the air! What is, is and we'll see if this draft pushes over the top or it will be the same old same old from this front office! The good news is if this draft doesn't get us a playoff win then more than likely this will be TT's last draft we'll have to suffer through. It seems each one of these players we picked seem to have knocks on them and be labeled as sort of projects! TT and Staley drafted for depth with our premium picks so we'll see.

Steelers take Darnell Washington.

I can get excited for this Daiyan Henley pick. It’s all comes down to if he can process the assignment at the next level. He got the close out speed, it’s better than that of Trenton. He got the “guns” and upper body build to be rigid and firm to stay balance through contact. Imo it’s an understatement to say having big strong arms is very important for LB’s. Brian Urlacher, Navarro Bowman, kuechly, Bobby Wagner, even Patrick Queen, the list goes on; you can find a LB that is playing and doing ok but you can’t find a stud, hall of famer without some big o’ bicep stopping power.

His tackling shows willingness for contact and not shy away from hitting. To me it’s a mentality thing, some people likes to hit, some doesn’t; has nothing to do with size or built. You can see Trenton like to fly toward his target and often latch and roll instead of really give it a good “ummph”. It’s like watching a pro golfer hitter a golf ball, the compression is different. In 3rd and short situation, you want a stud stud stopper who can thumb.
