2017 Draft

wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

 

[Bridgeburner]

Get some eyes on these results @Bridgeburner @ATL96Steeler .... Davis killed it as his pro day.



Jarrad Davis, Marcus Maye make up for lost time at UF Pro Day

Just for a quick-glance comparison with Timmons' best pre-draft workout results... Timmons ran a 4.66 40-yard dash, and recorded a 35'' vertical leap. Granted he was reportedly "out of shape" during his combine.

Holy hell...

He might have just saved us from that QB pick.

If his stock doesn't have him going too high now that is.

 

[Bridgeburner]

2nd-3rd Rds. After that pro-day there's no way he falls out of the 2nd. 3rd rated ILB behind Foster & McMillan.

If he's testing out like that there's a chance he just brought himself into the first.

Could have! Especially with how many edge rushers there are, teams might opt to wait to draft one which pushes all the other positions up the board.

Absolutely. I wouldn't be shocked (or mad, really) if he was our pick at 30. I want CB/Edge help but hell... if they can get a hell of a player at that pick I'm not gonna complain.

Yep. As Colbert said, this pick is "completely wide open". With a pool of 1st round prospects this deep, on draft day they'll be sittin there sippin kool-aid and smokin cigars just waitin to see how the draft unfolds. Stress free

I'm pumped with this class. I can't remember liking one more than this one. Just seems to deep.

I'm excited to see what the Steelers can do but I'm also pretty interested in what the Gilead Gunslingers can do in my Dynasty league hahaha.

I think the first 3-4 rounds are going to be pretty typical in terms of the pool, but after that you'll really start to see some odd picks. Too much sleeper potential going on and I think that'll cause draft projections in the latter rounds to go out the window!

 

[SteelersPride]

rb round 1??

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

rb round 1??

A possibility, but not likely. Colbert has already stated they fully intend to hammer out a long-term deal with Bell. Not going to happen until AFTER the draft though, so that might further add speculation to RB in the draft. I just don't see it until after round 2. And judging by their pre-draft/combine prospect meetings & their projected round, I may not be that far off from the truth.

Meetings:

• Wayne Gallman, RB, Clemson (COM) - Proj 3-4
• Marlon Mack, RB, South Florida (COM) - Proj 3-4
• D'Onta Foreman, RB, Texas (COM) - Proj 4
• Samaje Perine, RB, Oklahoma (COM) - Proj 4
• Jahad Thomas, RB, Temple (COM) - Proj 7-FA

Unofficial Meeting:

• Joe Mixon, RB, Oklahoma (PD) - Proj 2-3

@Bridgeburner ... First they met with him at the combine, now they bring him in for a pre-draft facility visit. Seems as though drafting Mahomes is gaining some momentum!

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Pretty sure BB reported the Mahomes visit last Friday too... So maybe he stayed over the weekend in the 'Burgh?

Love it in the second if they like what they see but I don't think he's there in the second. Any chance they are just doing due diligence in case of an unexpected fall?

That would be my guess. Seems like they are throwing out prospect lines for each round. I believe they have met with a projected prospect from every Rd, or damn close to.

Maybe they want teams to think they will take him at 30 so someone takes him before their pick causing someone they like better to fall.

Shit its anyone's guess! Wish I could find the interview from Colbert from a year or 2 ago and his media analogy about "thick lenses, smoke & mirrors" type stuff... he said it perfectly

Few days ago... MT at Tennessee pro day

 

[SteelersPride]

lots of mocks have us taking qb round 1-2 now
