PIT...Artie Burns...CB, showed he was more ready to play than a lot of us believed last yr. This season he takes over the CB1 role and 3+ picks.

ATL...DeVondre Campbell...OLB, big time athlete. Struggled a little in coverage LY, but should improve this season and if they start sending him on the blitz, he can deliver 4+ sacks a yr.
Re: Campbell... you don't think Riley is a threat to his playing time? As a prospect I like Riley a lot more than I did Campbell coming out. Although Campbell far exceeded what I thought he would do and he did it right out of the gate.

Possibly, but I have my doubts...the Falcons typically play the SEA 4-3 cover 3 DEF.

If Campbell has improved in coverage at all I think he's a lock for the ROLB spot....imo Riley will be a depth player this season. The depth beyond Campbell, Jones, and Beasley is thin. Wheeler and Warrilow imo can be upgraded.

Floyd Bears 17 sacks. Not just because I am a homer. That's a separate issue.

Steelers breakout candidates:

1. Bud Dupree
2. Artie Burns
3. Sean Davis
4. Vince Williams
5. Javon Hargrave

Even though we know they are already good, I'd still like to see more from Shazier & Tuitt.

If Leonard Floyd packs on some poundage in the off-season, he's going to be a monster. He was just getting off of the ground when he got hurt. Had 7 sacks in a pretty short period of time. Athletic freak, just came into the league a bit skinny for a 3-4 OLB.

I'd love to see that...GA boy, many here felt he had the athletic ability to be a stud, but kinda coasted as a Dawg...still a little thin imo, but he's got the goods to be a pro bowler.

Jalen Smith is going to tear up the league this year.
This year hopefully make the game day roster and make an impact. 2018...look out...

Not at all...if you were looking at it as a homer you'd say 17 sacks in September!!!
