Day 3 - Draft Day

[Idioteque]

Bruce Ellington, WR (another small guy) to 49ers

2 inches taller and 24 pounds heavier than Archer, and without a million college injuries

 

[Atlanta Joe]

Ellington could be a star.....would have loved him.

 

[Franco]

Ellington is not small, he is short and powerfully built , Hines Ward build with great speed.

 

[TMC]

Oh my, another midget - where are the haters?

I love the pick. I wish every other team would ******* flush the pick on midgets too. I just hate it when we do. It is ******* stupid, but continue to defend it. You know, because it has worked so many times in the past.....

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

Oh my, another midget - where are the haters?

difference is Jets have 3 4th round picks so they can afford to take a chance

 

[Punxsutawney]

if we don't get Suisham's successor this draft, I'm gonna be pissed.

If they took a PK here, would anyone be surprised, with the way this draft has gone?

 

[FAB802]

Why in the Hell would a Steeler fan care if another team drafts a small player? Just because some disliked the pick doesn't mean every time a smurf gets drafted from here out that it proves the Steelers were right, or wrong for that matter. Sometimes it's like being back in kindergarten coming to this place.

Some here think many of us actually hate the Steelers and have some secret vendetta against Archer.

 

[bermudasteel]

Raiders take a DT - Justin Ellis. Thanks for that!

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Ellis gone.

lol what? How do you figure?

Dude benched much less than Dri. Quite honestly, both are extremely slight of frame and both will have to nlearn how to protect themselves if they want to be successful

 

[TAS]

Heh. 5'8" 165....

At least they didn't waste a third rounder on him.

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

Hating the Archer pick isn't about Archer, it's about what they could have gotten instead. Now we're watching more CBs and WRs come off the board.

Now we see Ellis and Marsh come off the board. Both could have helped pass rush

 

[bermudasteel]

I like Seattle's pick of Cassius

 

[deljzc]

The 49ers are the best talent evaluators in the league. It's not even close. Their draft is awesome.

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

And now Cockrell is gone. Do you see now how badly the Archer pick may have screwed this draft?

 

[bermudasteel]

Bills take Cockrell - still have options at CB

 

[lefty]

ok. You didn't like the pick. I get it. I don't know that I like the pick. But the pick was basically an early 4th as a comp pick. But carry on...

 

[mightyguru]

Damn...was hoping Cockrell was there for our pick.

 

[TMC]

Andrew Brandt stated: "49ers scouting gets it: draft is not about needs now; it's about needs in two years."

 

[Punxsutawney]

Two or three more CBs could go before they pick. That absurdly deep talent pool at the position has just about been depleted.

 

[bermudasteel]

Maurice Alexander, SS - to the Rams

 

[Bigappleyinzer]

And now Cockrell is gone. Do you see now how badly the Archer pick may have screwed this draft?

Or do you mean your mock?

A lot of sensitive fans today who spent hours watching "youtube" clips for months are getting butthurt that their mocks are getting blown to pieces lol lol.

Look- The Archer pick wasnt ideal, but at least I can understand it. Especially for what was a quasi 4th round pick

 

[TMC]

LMAO, Mark Kabloy just tweeted: "Steelers official told me about Dri Archer: He's not a great runner, not a great receiver, but he sure is fast."

We are the Raiders.

]We had no regular 3rd round pick so this was not an additional luxury .3rd round pick
