NFL draft thread

Aside from Barton, who will be gone by #51, Nourzad, Limmer and Van Pran are considered "zone" capable IOLs. JPJ and Frazier not as much but I'd still take one to get it settled.

Given that the only Left (projected) Tackles taken ahead of Fautanu were Alt and Fashanu, we got the 3rd best graded LT.

Makes me wonder if they are hedging/worried about Jones at LT. I sure am. Fautanu has never played on the right side.

I didn't understand the plan to move Jones to LT seemingly no matter what. Yeah, if you ended up getting a later round RT prospect Blake Fisher, then sure, move Jones to LT. But now I'd like to see Fautanu at LT.

Jones can play LT and be good but he could become a monster run blocker at RT.

The Steelers now have two 1st round picks at OT. I don't think they've ever had that. If you have 2 pro bowl caliber OTs, you don't need great interior guys, you can get away with just decent.

Last year's late round pick Spencer Anderson has been seen around town hanging out with Russell Wilson. Maybe they think he can play center.
 
det trade with dallas worthy or mitchell likely

They are about to become millionaires and can’t obtain a stylist or buy a proper bespoke suit for the occasion.

Weren't there some knee issues with Fautanu? Maybe they have an impact on whether he gets a shot at LT or not. If they think his knees might affect his mobility and may be an issue, they may move him to RT straight away.

next QB prospects are pretty much ****. I have wanted them to move up and take a QB even before they Pickett. I would literally jizz myself if we made a move and got the next franchise QB and I personally don't care what it costs, you can not win in todays NFL without a Franchise QB. these type of drafts for QB happen every 20+ years I aint got that long.

Add to the fact wilson is washed up and on a one year deal and I would have a freakin stroke if we picked up Fields 5th year at 20 million.

You can have the greatest Oline ever but if you aint got a stud behind center you aint winning jack ****.

I just hope Rooney realizes it, because coming into this year, he was STILL behind thinking infant hands was capable and that is no bueno.

Lots of people are high on Mason McCormick from South Dakota State around the 4th round. Steelers had him in for a visit.

Wait,, they took a LEFT tackle with the first pick? This is impossible. I cant see the logic in this post.
 
I have to see what the heck any of the trades gave up? They used to show it.
 
It is kinda hard to know if the ladies beside some of these guys are girlfriends or moms. Good problem to have I guess
 
The Lions fan laughing at the Packers fan after the reach for a tackle, LOL!
