2020 Draft & FA

[Superbelt]

Chaisson went to the Jags. But yeah, this is pretty much the list I would have.

I want to say that a guard would be available at the end of the third but Cush/Jones etc. would be tempting. Borderline first-round talents so they wouldn't be a reach over the RB and WR. Probably the smart but unsexy thing to do. The only thing I will say is I think this RB class drops off pretty good after that top 4-6. And Dobbins makes my PP go boing.

It's kind of cool that the got Fitz and the board still looks like this.

No matter how it unfolds, Steelers won the draft this year.

No one else can guarantee they got an All-Pro.

mims , higgins, are there, im on board with those boys actually.....so is cush, im gonna pissed if we take dobbins

 

[Yo Tee]

Chase Claypool from Notre Dame.

 

[Superbelt]

So, Chase Claypool it is.

 

[SteelersPride]

you know what, f it i like it

 

[Yo Tee]

I'm not mad at it. Big, fast dude. Let's go!

 

[Superbelt]

Could be a Gronk.

Gotta trust the Steelers to draft the right receiver.

they draft him as a wr?

 

[Superbelt]

Yeah, he's a WR.

But Gronk straddles that line between the positions himself.

 

[Bridgeburner]

I don't hate the player. Not a fan based on what was still on the board though. He's a project. I think he will be very limited in how much he can help this year and that was what I really wanted... help this year for Ben.

I think they just like letting the Ravens beat the fuck out of them in the draft as well as on the field.

Dobbins will be a star in this league. My RB one and it wasn't close.

FWIW

Notre Dame WR Chase Claypool lights up combine with Calvin Johnson-like performance

Claypool torched the 40-yard dash in 4.42 seconds on Thursday night. That might not sound like much compared to the 4.27 that Alabama’s Henry Ruggs III posted, the fastest time of the night. But it was almost historic for a big man.

There is only one other receiver in combine history who has run a sub-4.45 while measuring at least 6-4 and 235 pounds. His name: Calvin Johnson.

The former Lions great ran it in 4.35 seconds at 239 pounds in 2007.​

Yeah, they channeled Al Davis with this one and chased a workout.

 

[steelerssb]

I like it. JuJu, Washington, Johnson and Cain are all similar type-receivers and they could use a bigger, physical guy like this. Might not be the best WR but best fit.

Also Ben loves throwing to these types of guys.

 

[Superbelt]

Member, you hated JuJu, too.



Only Ruiz and Damien Lewis taken on IOL so far...

Gonna be good prospects there.

 

[SteelersPride]

how do u figure he had 66 or 67 catches, over 1k yards, and 7 td's playing notre dames schedule?

 

[SteelersPride]

ND played a fair schedule

 

[Superbelt]

Balls, there goes Cushenberry. With the pick Pitt traded, too.

How do you not figure? You think he gets drafted this high if he runs a 4.5? He's just got a lot of work to do with the little things at the pro-game. The fact that the Steelers liked him makes me more confident.

 

[Bridgeburner]

Member, you hated JuJu, too.

Lol. I know right. Me poo-pooing a pick should seal it for you guys.

"Bridge doesn't like it so... nailed it!"

Haha. But in all seriousness... some of the things that I worried about with JuJu when he was drafted showed up last year without Ben and AB on the field with him. He doesn't get separation. Not a huge problem when Ben is your QB but with a guy like Rudolph he just isn't open.

And FTR... I really don't dislike the pick long term. I'm only questioning how much he can help now. Love the fact that in 2-3 years he might be one of the best WR in this loaded class.

My point is , he had tape to back up the workout.
