Never heard of that boardgame, I am slacking.
No the dumbest thing to do would be draft Peezy Jr. at 17. Trading up for a LT could have long term benefits.
JpJr isn’t the absolute top end shutdown corner we lack, but if we traded down into the mid 20’s and got him, I would be ok with that… next year that CB room is going to be really empty and we could use the kind of guy he is probably going to become if that handsy play doesn’t sink him.
Based on the value chart the #32 should net more like the first TWO picks in the 3rd round.
That's better or take something mid-second round and maybe a 5th. What I read earlier about the 1st pick in the 3rd and a late round pick would really piss me off if they did that. I still say use the pick and snag a guy you think will be a starter. I don't even care the position. It's a bonus pick for ****-canning Claypool so use it to hopefully get an immediate impact player. You will have 24 hours to figure out who that one player is and there's no need to reach. I'd even take the behemoth TE/OT from GA everyone is in love with.
Smoke Screen..
I cant believe in this day and age of social justice...that the NFL hasn't scrapped this test for QB's..
I understand they scrapped the wonderlic and it's called S2 or something like that. From what I understand it's like a video game presenting different defenses, reads, hot route (oh wait, never mind) etc presenting qbs with options and their reaction. Could be off a bit but there's so many variables with each decision a qb makes, his experience and trust in abilities, prior coaching and so on. At least in my opinion but what do I know.
wasn't aware of that....thanks for info.
I think I've gotten to the point where I definitely don't want Porter at 17. Too many flaws in his game when reading the scouting reports and the lack of making plays on the ball when compared with other prospects who should be available to the Steelers. If he wasn't Joey Porter's son, would the Steelers supposedly be this interested?
I mean there is some things to like like his tackling ability and long arms but yeah just high for me at 17. Not to mention there is a shitload of instinctive and some physical corners that is showing deep in depth. Deep enough that they don't have to slightly reach for a corner in 1 or 2. Content to let someone else have that experiment. As I said before he looks like a number 2 corner. Not that there is anything wrong with that, outside of the middle of round 1.
A lot comes down to value and projection. If you think Darnell Wright is going to be an above average RT vs. Jaxon Smith-Njigba who you believe can be a Pro Bowl receiver, do you pass on JSN because WR isn't a top need or do you draft him and give Kenny Pickett a trio of receivers who can potentially rival what they have in Cincinnati? You can run one million scenarios like this.
I hear ya. A team has to weigh in your example if JSN is a health risk. They might think that Wright is a safer pick with a lower ceiling in comparison but a higher floor. Hard decisions that I am glad I don't have to take on.
