2014 Draft

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Here's my list:

1. Evans
2. Dennard
3. Ebron
4. Lewan
5. ???

For the sake of attempting to have a "different" list than you ATL… I'll change my list to this:

1. Evans
2. Dennard
3. Lewan
4. Beckham
5. Fuller

Couple wildcards thrown in there!

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Still scratching my head over the Shazier pick… Looks good on paper, but hard to imagine where he will fit into the scheme of things. Tomlin has already stated that he will see time at the mack ILB position. So that puts the short-lived Williams experiment on the back burner. But I had originally thought that Moats would compete for that position as well and play OLB whenever needed since he has the versatility. And now that Spence is back… The LB depth is just ridiculous now. We can pretty much assume that Kion Wilson or Terrance Garvin (and camp bodies Molls & So'oto) are going to be cut casualties.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

My next 5 for Round 2:

1. Allen Robinson
2. Phillip Gaines
3. Stephon Tuitt
4. Jaylen Watkins
5. Cody Latimer

Almost threw in Jordan Matthews… But I'll go with Latimer

We both struck out with the 1st round ATL!

 

[ATL96Steeler]

Next 5.

1. Hageman
2. Nix
3. Matthews
4.Jean Baptiste
5. Moncrief

 

[ATL96Steeler]

Obviously leaving Dennard on the board was a bit surprising, but there was a run on all of my guys, after Fuller was taken I was thinking they might go off the grid...a 4.3 LB...In this sub pkg era, I can see a platoon situation with Shazier playing on 3rd down for Williams...speed to blitz and cover...we needed more speed on DEF and Colbert/Tomlin delivered.

With him of the field you have potentially 5 guys that can get to the QB...Heyward up front, Worilds/JJ off the edge and Timmons/Shazier from inside.

Did surprise me, but I like the pick.

 

[element1286]

Would like to get one of Matthews, Moncreif, or Devante Adams in the next two rounds.

Maybe Shazier can run the fire zone blitz effectively, haven't seen it get through consistently for a few years.

Because they kinda went off the track a little with Shazier I can see them going need in this round and most likely the 3rd round...NT, WR or CB, is what I expect for 46 tonight.

I can see the 1st round, but they should be able to get 2 rounds in tonight...wait this long and it drags on for a week!

I have the feeling the Steelers actually like their projected starters on the DL, although they do need depth.

 

[steelparrot]

Some dude on the nfl network, said Shazier is 'The best blitzing inside linebacker I have ever seen in the draft'

 

[SJ20]

Steelers may have went for what they thought was the BPA in round 1, but the Steelers aren't good enough to be select the BPA. They should be drafting based on need first.

1. Allen Robinson
2. Phillip Gaines
3. Stephon Tuitt
4. Jaylen Watkins

Ballin!

My next prediction for round 3:
1. Phillip Gaines
2. Antone Exum
3. Keith McGill
4. Martavis Bryant (Moncrief won't be there)
5. Jaylen Watkins

Dropping Watkins down a little since there are still quite a few CB's on the board of which I thought would be gone.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Umm… So I guess I really don't know this team that well… lol

Dri Archer?

Maybe this will ease my pain over not getting a CB early on since Evans was gone.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

I think ATL & HOU made some SERIOUS upgrades in this draft!

ATL gets Matthews OT & Hageman DE/DT... Filthy

HOU gets Clowney, Su'a-Filo OG, Nix DT/NT, and Savage QB (could end up being the best QB in the draft). Can you imagine Watt, Clowney & Nix on the same line?

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

I'm curious to see where Janis lands

 

[Steelboy84]

Well, it appears to be improving.

 

[ATL96Steeler]

Funny how fickle fans can be.

ATL...fans are pretty split from what I've heard on the local media...I think they did very well getting a pro ready OT, Hageman was a player I liked...they lacked the 10+ sack guy and I think that was the big need aside from OT.

PIT...different agenda picking 15th...top 4 should contribute in specialized roles...there's a good chance all these rookie draft picks make the 53...Paulson, and Moye are in trouble.

2014 Draft Picks Highlights:

 

[ATL96Steeler]

Didn't get thru the entire reel yet, but you can see the effect of the speed with Shazier...I know there are more times he's probably not, but he's getting to the QB on those clips...whereas Foote used to be in the vincity but couldn't quite impact the play...footspeed.

Reading where Zumwalt is surprising folks up there...really glad to hear that.
