No offense, but isnt Ellington awfully small? Being that you hate Dri for his slight build.

LOL. Ellington has 24 pounds on Archer. Not to mention he's actually a WR.

Even with those extra 24lbs, he still only threw up the bar 15 times to Dri's 20.

Look, I am not thrilllled with the pick. But I can understand it.

M.Bryant may have been the only pick I would have preferred.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Justin Ellis and a corner. After that it's cake.

 

[Idioteque]

Watkins put up 16 reps. Beckham put up 8. 6'5 231 Mike Evans put up 12. Sorry, but all are considerably better built and more durable than the oft-injured Archer.

I would get the pick if he projected to any role whatsoever on offense. Read TMC's extensive post on Archer. The best season by a RB under 180 in the last 10 years was McCluster's 500 yards (he was then moved to slot WR). I cannot imagine how they expect to give this guy offensive a role. He didn't return punts at all in college, so they didn't draft him to do that. Kickoffs have been obliterated in today's NFL as most kickoffs are downed, so I surely hope they didn't draft him to do that. He wasn't a WR in college, so I doubt they drafted him to do that. Either they think he's going to completely revolutionize the NFL in multiple ways, or they felt this was a throwaway pick to spend on another Chris Rainey.

with the leap latimer, richardson got, a few weeks ago they were like rnd 3-5 projected, now it pushes guys like kevin norwood, jeff janis, devin street, mike davis cody hoffman all who were rnd 5-6 projections as justifiable picks in the 5th.
we could do this

Ouch, good point

Archer spent alot of his time in the slot.

 

[Silent]

I'm hoping for M. Bryant and Dontae Johnson ...

 

[STEELERS R GR8]

Players I like:

Ellis-nt
Skov-lb
Abbrederis-wr
Hoffman-wr
Lynch-te
Richardson-g
Smallwood-lb
Cockrell-cb
Murray-qb
Purifoy-cb

Would love to land Ellis, Cockrell, Smallwood and Purifoy. I know that don't help the offense but I think these guys are potential long time stars for us.

 

[TDX27]

We have to go CB and WR. Not selecting our biggest needs in the early rounds means we don't have starting caliber players at those positions on the team. They will either suck this year or have to find players in free agency unless someone on the team now steps up big time. This draft is bizarre - especially the No. 3 pick.

 

[ZACKB]

Guys I like:

WR-Abbrederis
CB Kieth McGill
CB EJ Gaines
WR Martavias Bryant
CB Pierre Desir
CB Marcus Robinson
NT Justin Ellis
CB Walt Aikens
CB Loucheiz Purifoy
CB Rashaad Reynolds
WR Kevin Norwood
WR Brandan Coleman
NT daquan jones
DE Taylor Hart - just too god to pass up
DE -Urban
LB-Carl Bradford (should have taken him instead of Archer)

 

[Idioteque]

Archer spent alot of his time in the slot.

Can you list for me the 5'7 173 receivers currently in the NFL?

We get it. You hate the pick. Who else runs a 4.2 40 in the NFL??? No one.

Give the kid a chance and let's see how the rest of the picks pan out rather than bemoan over the pick that upset your apple cart...

 

[Steelers1356]

If this is indeed a deep CB draft then load up on them today, maybe grab a big receiver if there's one available high on the Steelers board. Maybe we can find one or two diamonds in the rough at CB that we can develop.

I can list a lot of guys who ran similar 40s but washed out of the league immediately.

I'll ask you again - did you or did you not **** your pants when we took Shazier?

I recognize a few names here, 2 are now on our roster. Let's see if speed equals wins.

Not really a list that inspires confidence. And how many were 5'7 173?

 

[Idioteque]

Oh. I thought you were saying he could be a slot receiver.
