in that sense i feel much better i just liked alot of other backs.

snell was a favorite of mine in college i want nothing but good for him.

im not trying to hate.....
I think my only hang up with him is if they really view Jaylen Samuels as the RB2, then why did they make a bigger investment on their RB3? Samuels was a 5th Rd pick, and Snell a 4th. If they were really just drafting a depth RB then why not wait until their 5th or one of their 6ths? They passed up on Foster Moreau because of it. I think it bit them in the ass and they knee jerked Gentry because of it. Idk if that’s true, but appears so.

Maybe Snell comes in and competes for RB2 right away. Who knows. He does appear to be a high floor, low ceiling type athlete. But you never know. I thought similar things about Le’Veon when they drafted him. Big & slow but a physical runner.

I'm also loving the signing of undrafted rookie kicker Matthew Wright from UCF. Such a great collegiate kicker. He made 153 PATs in a row, which is a school record. He also only missed 3 FGs in his entire college career and only 1 in the last 2 years.
Big leg? What’s his kick range?

TE Zach Gentry... Not loving this pick. I don't know if they panicked after Foster Moreau got pick 4 spots ahead of this, but nothing about Gentry really excites me. At least not when you read the scouting reports. Unable to block & an inconsistent catcher. Yeehaw


This dude is gonna be good!!!!
Converted QB, so he understands route running and all that jazz.
Did some reading up on him.....And he's a beast!!!!

Links? Haven’t done much research other than scouting reports. Need me some material to warm me up to the pick.

Big leg? What’s his kick range?

23-33 from 40+ in his career. 154-155 in PATs the last 2 years. Longest kick made was a 50 yarder in 2016. Since then it's been 47 which was in 2017 and his longest last year was 46. Not a big leg, but it's accurate.

Most of his 45, 46, 47 yard kicks have PLENTY of room. He could easily made 50 yarders.

23-33 is accurate?

This was the best article to boast about him. But it’s very contradictory to what most scouting reports read. Not really sure the author of this article did much homework, or the scouting reports were bogus. Wouldn’t be surprised at either.

FWIW, the Heath Miller anecdote was fun but absurd to draw a relation from. Heath was a 1st Rd talent. This kid was being touted as a possible UDFA.

I’ll always trust the Steelers, but this was a strange pick considering all the TEs with higher grades that were still available. His size is tantalizing, but hope he’s got the hands or he’ll make a quick exit.

Is what we have now accurate? Nope. Kid has gotten more accurate as his collegiate career went on. Boz has gotten worse. Need some options.
Boz is still 77% at >40yds. Not good, but that’s better than 23/33.

Hope he provides good competition though because Boz has made even extra points too difficult to trust.

Competition breeds improvements because everyone wants to be better than the next guy. I'll never get mad at bringing in competition.
