LIVE UP TO THE MINUTE DRAFT THREAD

[Shane Falco]

Porter was not the best CB on Penn State. Kalen King is a stud

Porter Jr is a name. I thought he was good, but not a first round pick good. He’s too raw.

 

[Chicoman]

Hot damn man Will Levis girlfriend is Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! He's winning off the field for sure!

 

[SteelerFan448]

Anyone think the Steelers find a way to go with Jones and Moore at the tackle positions? Jones is very young with limited experienced, so I'm not sure if he's an instant starter.

 

[Litos]

What are we doing with Dan Moore?

move him to RT, sit or trade Chuks

 

[jitter77]

For as premium as WR have been lately, cant believe no one has taken any yet

 

[fogdoctor]

I actually feel good about the left side of the line. The Seumalo / Jones combo will be destructive.

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

The CB from Maryland still on the board too.

 

[SteelerSask2]

Make a wish kid with bone cancer

The Jets killed Carl ( Curb Your Enthusiasm) but not Kyle. Kid was great!!!!

Tidbit about Broderick Jones:

In 2022 as a junior Jones saw action in 13 games and totaled 805 snaps. He gave up 8 QB hurries, just one QB hit and allowed no sacks while playing at left tackle.

Too bad that conference has no good pass rushers.

Christian Gonzalez was considered by many a top-10 pick. He's falling, why?

he's soft

 

[steelersfootball4life]

I very much like this pick. Keep Pickett upright!!

good question>. me too

Granted Jones has bust potential, but giving up a 4th four an OT with maybe the highest upside in the draft was worth it. Completely agree with your assessment.

I actually think Jones doesn't have bust potential at all. He is so big already, so athletic and he can ALWAYS be a very good RT. I just don't get the impression he is going to eat his way out of the league or just mail it in during his rookie deal. The guy doesn't play like that at all.

Porter Jr is a name. I thought he was good, but not a first round pick good. He’s too raw.

Maybe but he has 34 inch arms which is what OTs have. You can't teach that.

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

What are we doing with Dan Moore?

RT? Good backup.

 

[steelcan58]

What are we doing with Dan Moore?

Depth.

 

[SteelerFan448]

My guy instinct without watching all the tape is that the CB's in this draft suck. If Witherspoon was the #1 guy off the board and I watch his tape and it was not good in my opinion, then this draft is not good at CB.

Well Emmanuel Forbes, who weighs as much as a high school kid, just went ahead of Gonzalez.

 

[SteelerFan448]

What are we doing with Dan Moore?

Starting him with Jones and sending Okorafor to the bench or cutting/trading him.

 

[Steelmann]

Jets were definitely taking Jones. They are using most, if not all, of the clock to rethink their pick.

I think we know how that feels. A few times. Credit our staff for getting their guy.

 

[madinsomniac]

What are we doing with Dan Moore?

He will probably start the year at LT… then he will be the swing tackle… in a best case scenario, we pick up a late round or Promising Udfa tackle and he ends up trade fodder at tge deadline or is better at RT and takes over for Chuks next season..

Having an extra low end cheap starter at LT is a great issue to have..,

 

[slashsteel]

Christian Gonzalez was considered by many a top-10 pick. He's falling, why?

Told you I wasn't overly sold on him. I see a good CB not convinced he will be a shut down corner. Too many corners in this class for me that had decent film to have to take one at 17.

 

[deljzc]

A 166 lbs. kid just got drafted in the 1st round. What an interesting sport to try and judge talent.

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

Well Emmanuel Forbes, who weighs as much as a high school kid, just went ahead of Gonzalez.

very surprising. Forbes is definitely the best coverage CB but he's so small.

 

[madinsomniac]

Gonzalez to the pats… i don’t like that

 

[Steelmann]

Gonzalez looks pissed off
