Steelers Draft Grade

[FordFairLane]

The difference of what? My point is that you and I are both below the national pundits in grading the Steelers draft, and nobody but nobody that I have seen has them graded under your mark of B. So what is it, exactly, that you're arguing about?

If the only two grades are A or B then what does a B mean, bad? Does an A mean somewhere between awesome and average? You have to scale it to more than 2. They do that so your average fan see’s a B and think it’s like high school and that is good or an A is awesome. But it’s not the same grading system.

And I really don’t care what they graded them at.

You're allowed to have an opinion on whatever your little heart desires, bud. What I said was there's no way you can be that well-informed about every single NFL team and the ins and outs of their free agency/draft processes unless this is your full-time job. Which I'll go ahead and assume that it isn't.

I actually can. It’s not that hard really.

Any douchebag can throw 32 draft grades out there -- you're proof of that. Doesn't mean that they're anywhere close to what they should be for each and every team.

Yep. It’s all subjective. It’s about your hits vs your misses. I’m fine with my body of work.

Huh ... this site lists Fautanu's height at 6'4". Guess he was on tippy-toes or something.

No worries - he found that extra 1/4"!!!

I (and you, evidently) really have no idea what you're talking about. For example, The Steelers led the way at The Sporting News with an A+ grade, while the publication gave the Raiders a D. Seven other teams got a C or C-. So, no, there clearly aren't only two grades.

And I really don’t care what they graded them at.

You complain that Steelers' fans here are biased homers, but you don't want to hear about how national services all agree that the Steelers drafted very well. Not surprising.

I actually can. It’s not that hard really.

Sure you can. Hopefully you thoroughly understand the other 31 teams (and every single one of their personnel situations) a whole lot better than you know the Steelers.

Yep. It’s all subjective. It’s about your hits vs your misses. I’m fine with my body of work.

Good for you, guy. Your "body of work" and 6 bucks can get you a latte at Starbucks. Enjoy.

I wasn't going to look through every single one of those websites. Wow. They gave the raiders a D and the Steelers an A+. I guess we might as well write in Fautanu into the hall of fame now as a tackle. I mean there's no change his knee blows out or he moves to guard.

You are sooooo right. The Steelers do no wrong and the Steelers have no issues after hitting on all 7 future hall of fame draft picks. Thank you for correcting me. I guess my brain doesn't work as well as yours.

I can't. It is just too hard for me. Please, can you help me understand football? Does football mean you kick the ball with your foot? I get so confused.

Good for you, guy. Your "body of work" and 6 bucks can get you a latte at Starbucks. Enjoy.

Maybe one day I will be smart, like you.

So you have the time to intricately grade all 32 drafts from every NFL team, but you don't have a couple of minutes to look at a few national websites? Yes, let's write in Fautanu into the Hall of Fame because some people (not even including me) loved the pick. Do you realize how ridiculous you sound?

I graded the Steelers' draft a B+, sweetheart. But keep on posting stupid hyperbole.

I doubt it.

I know, I know. I mean a B... B. What was I thinking. A B is pretty much an F. I know when my kids get B's I usually ground them and take away their phones for the month. The B honor roll is a freaking joke. If you aren't first you are last!

I know it is weird that a B is just horse but a B+ is great. Most would balk at the logic behind a B is bad but a B+ is good, but not you. How brave, how courageous, how intelligent of you.

I graded the draft an A-B+-AbB+--+

What say you?

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

I understand what he's saying.

 

[FordFairLane]

What if Fautanu ends up starting LT ? What would be the grade ?

Great post Litos, and thank you for all the great ones along the way (humor too).

I agree, if Broderick stays at RT, we still have a vast improvement at LT in replacing Moore.

Moore will be kept on for depth and no complaints as he was a 4th rnd pick.


Salute the nation

Yes. Fautanu won’t compete for LT. My guess is either A. They let Jones and Moore fight it out for LT and Fautanu and Cook/Spencer fight for RT. Or B. Which unfortunately is the most likely scenario, they have Fautanu and Jones fight for RT and hand Moore the LT spot.

Yeah I think they take a quick look and then settle the two in at where they want them. For me there is no reason to move Broderick who is already liking where he is playing. Then he has to get comfy on the left and Faut comfy on the opposite side? When it looks like Troy would be more comfy on the left?

Nah I let Broderick stand pat and let Dan and Troy battle it out to start.

Where is Troy starting at? Lets see if he can stay there. Next stop. Guard.

 

[slashsteel]

He told them he is comfy at RT per reports. He won’t be a G as he won’t fail at T. Doesn’t totally shock me he starts at RT even if he stays there. As it looks like they just want Moore off the field quickly. Broderick already has some NFL experience so that would be the quicker route to achieving their want.

Ultimately Steelers have two tackles capable of playing either side ….

 

[Litos]

Mine was a legit question. How would you grade him regarding the position? RT or LT.

You sure were sitting on this as if it were a big deal

 

[BLITZ]

They drafted there LT last year and RT this year. Life is good

Maybe for Moore

Under NO circumstances should Moore be looking at a starting OT position; he is always ranked at the very bottom of the list of starting OTs, each and every year. As a backup, OK. But if he's STILL a stating OT at the beginning of this season for this team SOMETHING terrible has gone awry. Something awful. ONLY on a Tomlin team would Moore even be slight consideration at this point. He's been ranked dead last all 3 seasons he's been here. He's Godawful.

My bet is on Wilson becoming a WR2 than you banging Jessica Alba.

What if Fautanu ends up starting LT ? What would be the grade ?

Lol how is this working out for you? I guess I should be calling Jessie!!

 

[FordFairLane]

heh heh

Isn’t Moore graded in the 80’s on pff?

 

[FordFairLane]

Funny thing. EVERY other post-draft write up mentions Troy has the attributes to play any position on the line (5 position flexibility). So, there’s no way the same guy can play RT?
I smell “they didn’t do what I wanted them to do” bias.

Lol

Ok, tell me how I’m wrong now! You mouth breathers are hilarious!!

He is a starting left tackle and having his best season.
