Fellas (I guess it's official now that we've lost Midnight)...this is where we will gather thoughts about positions we're interested for the various picks...I'm willing to take any and all input whether it be players, trades, etc, but there can be only one GM I guess so the final say will be on me.
As far as the pool of players we really like for each round we might be better off DMing those to me.
To start us off.
1.25...With FA all but over and the key people re-signed. I think it's safe to say that whomever we pick at 25 is probably not going to be a starter this season. IMO, our most pressing needs are a young S, CB, DT....depth at DE, OLB and ILB also has to be addressed.
CB…if you were not aware, the Steelers have asked Cortez Allen to reduce his ’16 salary…if he agrees, based on the Steelers MO, there is a very good chance he will stick on the 53 if deemed healthy enough to play…if he’s not really healthy, it would make sense for him to not take a reduction and get released instead. In either case June 1 is probably when the rubber will meet the road with Cortez.
That aside, the best CB on the team is 31 and if we’re being totally honest, Gay probably ranks in the bottom 3rd of CB1s league wide.
Cockrell…right now he’s the odds on favorite to be the other outside CB…3rd yr player but ’15 was his 1st season with substantial snaps…he showed some promise, needs to improve to cement his starting job.
Golson…it looks as if they are handing him the slot job, 2nd yr player coming off a IR rookie season due to a shoulder. Grant...is now being looked at as a potential SS or FS and will get a shot to make the team.
Frey, Shabazz...at this point these guys are trying to make the team.
S...Mike Mitchell and Robert Golden are the favorites to start. Shamarko Thomas is on the last yr of his rookie deal, probably a 1 contract Steeler...the other names are just bodies.
DT...McCullers is the only legit NT on the team now that McLendon has moved on to the Jets. Granted, the DEF is in nickel about 70% of the time. A NT taken at 25 would need to be more versatile.
I have started a pool for 1.25...for those interested, I can DM you the pool I have and we can add/subtract from the pool.
