Draft discussion thread.

LT can't keep up with Jimmy.

right.

LT kept up with Vick and I'd guess Vick is faster than Johnny.
Vick is also a bit bigger than Johnny.
Johnny will get broke.

Shazier is Cut Up

View attachment 68

Shazzzam!

 

[Hineswardkickedurpanzyass]

It is confirmed, the Browns are going nuts to have Johnny. He is destined to be an utter complete failure. Bradshaw, Marino, Young, Montana all would fail in the mistake by the lake....why? Because the Browns ******* suck.

 

[Ironcitysteelers]

So rd 2, corner...wr.... Line?

 

[Superman]

so the Browns have some vet experience for Johnny to learn from

Brian Hoyer
Alex Taney
Tyler Thigpen
Vince Young

I was referring to Jimmy Graham. I have no problem with Timmons getting to a mobile QB. Johnny Foolsball won't get by Timmons or Shazier.

CB or Scott Crichton, IMO.

I was watching a ticker and it said: "The Bengals pick is in...." and the first words that popped into my head were "custody".

Bengals grab Dennard to salt that wound for picking Shazier

 

[Steelmann]

I just hope there are some hidden Jewell's for corners in the latter rounds as well as WR. It is just the beginning. I wonder if Chicago took their guy?

 

[Steelers1356]

Shazier is versatile, can play ILB and OLB, smart, has freakish athletic measurables particularly in the area of speed. 25 reps in the bench press not too shabby either. My Guess is with Fuller gone he was ranked the highest on the Steelers board above Dennard and others. The pick makes sense since the middle part of the defense was the weakest link. There may have been other needs but none of the available players likely ranked higher. The pick fixes the depth problem at LB. Also gives us a solid starting LB corps with Worilds, Timmons, Shazier and Jones.

I love the WR value there. Latimer, Adams, and Ellington could all be in play there. I do not like the CBs in that range.

 

[Steelers1356]

Also, plenty of good receivers and CB's left for later rounds.

 

[Idioteque]

Eagles got a fine player in Marcus Smith.

Yes, the Steelers should be able to NOT draft some quality CBs and WRs in round 2 as well.

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

No Benjamin for us in 2

 

[RollRed]

I hate drafting Buckeyes... their non-conference games are against utter nobodys with basically zero NFL potential talent and their conference games aren't much better. He may look great on tape and he very well may end up being a very productive player. I just think it's hard to evaluate the actual talent level of a player when they play so many of their games against such subpar competition.

Take a moment and read this about Shazier....then tell me you do not like him. Other than questioning his fit, have to like the guy.

Shazier had a great bowl against ultra-fast, ultra-talented Clemson.

 

[Mosh Pitt]

Tomlin and Colbert both said Shaz has improved every year, is very productive, has no holes, can flat out run, and he´s a defensive play-maker which is something they were looking for. He´s projected to play inside next to Timmons.

I like the pick. We´re getting faster and adding more play-makers on defense. The middle of the defense just got upgraded with youth, speed, and play-makers with additions of Mitchell and Shaz.

 

[SteelBuckeye]

For what it's worth, Dulac tweeted that the Cowboys were going to select Shazier at 16 if the Steelers hadn't got him. They were on the phone with his agent when the Steelers pick was announced.

I recall reading about similar circle jerks pertaining to Timmons and Hood.

Look, the way the 1st round progressed ******* SUCKED, but it shouldn't automatically make one feel better with whom they were forced to settle.

I do not see how this makes them better in the bigger picture. I really don't.

 

[manifesto template]

Yes, Thank you Broncos.

 

[Steelers1356]

Re-watch some of the games from last season when we were getting blown up in the middle of the defense. The pick will then make more sense.
