I think Wilson's height (6'4"), his (relative) skinniness (233 and he might have played lighter) and his violent tackling style, means injuries will continue to pile up for him. Excellent player when healthy, though.

Hadn't seen this before, but if coincides very nicely with my recent comments that I want to take both Trotter and Eicheberg for maximum flexibility. You could do a Colson/Trotter combo, as well. I feel the ILB room could be totally transformed with either pair.

Completely same boat as you regarding o vs d. If you have two good players, and your grading system or whatever doesn't favor one over the other the offensive player should be prioritized for what it can do as a secondary benefit for the most important player on your roster. Anything and everything you can do to improve the situation for the QB is worth while. As for the mock itself, I love it and want to take it home and build it a cute little house in the backyard and have it forever. Even like the trade up which suprises me, but if it fell like that I'd be thrilled. As for Alt falling... I think this is going to be a weird draft, that people probably talk about for a while. There are some high end talents at lots of positions and mostly along the offense. There are more than normal high grades on QB (almost as good as 2021!) There are more than normal amounts of teams in need of a QB in the draft. All kinds of stars aligning for weird **** to go down. How weird (good) would it be if the Falcons got bumped to the end of round 1 for tampering for Kirk Cousins? Also would be objectively hilarious to pay a penalty for that particular prize.

@TheKillerNacho also please change the following lineups Start QB Stroud Change ILB starters to this Jack campbell, nick bolton Bench willie gay

I keep hearing how Jones needs to move to LT…and I guess I’d like to point out that this really isn’t needed….maybe not even preferable, dare I say it. You move him from right tackle to left and that means there are 3 positional changes, or 60 percent of your line, from the getgo. Jones is a very good run blocker, and you can argue that this strength is more vital from the right side. The whole team turned around when he took over for Chucks (good riddance). Now, I am reading a lot of ‘the Steelers must draft a right tackle’ opinions, both amateur and ‘professional’. They kicker is Fittipaldo saying that the Steelers would pass on Penn State LT Fashanu if he falls to them. To me, this would actual be an ideal scenario, wherein Jones can stay where he is and Fashanu can compete against Moore until he is ready to take the spot. I like Ray, but that is a rather ludicrous statement. The Steelers should be much more focused on the flexibility they have in the draft because of Jones, not the ‘necessity’ of moving him to the left side.

Trade Alert! Bots give WR Amari Cooper Predators give S28th 4th I accept @TheKillerNacho @RandyMossIsBoss Upon trade completion please sign WR Allen Lazard (NYJ) as wr3, and move everyone else up

A couple of draft sims I have run has occasionally had Newton there, while Barton and DeJean have gone. I wouldn't be against taking Newton at 25

I've been thinking about going back to Skyrim as well. Even downloaded it on my PC just haven't jumped the shark yet. It's one of those games I'm almost scared to start playing because I end up sinking so much time into it. I don't even know how many hundreds of hours ive played between all the remasters.

@Karnage84 nEvER said YOu Didn't dO wEll

I went Nate Wiggins - Need to keep coach Flo happy

Do you think he’d (or any rookie QB) would have enough to work with here? I mean we could come back and get someone like Worthy or Legett with our 2nd pick maybe, but let’s say we don’t - who’s he throwing to and who’s protecting him? I think we have a massive issue with our roster

Link? Quote? this disappoints me

We won by not spending 100m on a guard.

Should we just sign no backups then?

Seems like good work from the Front Office to me, nobody seems to know who were eyeing up and that’s better for us. Lot of smoke screens right now 🙂

One more thing, as I’m watching more PSU. If you want to feel better about the QB options in front of us next week, just keep in mind that there are people who consider Drew Allar a contender for one of the top QB slots next year. That dude is an absolute tomato can. I would absolutely concede that their receivers were pretty weak last year — but damn, he’s just not good. And he’s 2025 QB2 for NFL Draft Buzz right now. Yikes. The RB Singleton (#10) has some juice though. I liked that kid last year as a freshman, and he still stands out pretty well on this year’s tape too. He’ll be another 2025 guy, probably.

Love listening to Greg Cosell. He has a different take on Trotter compared to Simms.

I will say, I think Fashanu is a guy who is sort of getting the same shaft that Maye is. He was really good last year, expectations got very high, and he didn’t expand on his already really good play. People were thinking he was going to be on the level of Sewell or Trent or someone like that. And he isn’t, at this point. So now he’s seen as a disappointment and even a regression. The dude is still a really good OT prospect. I still think he’s the best pass protector in this bunch, to include Alt. Elite core strength, he takes what guys give him and just snaps back into place. Good feet, good recovery. He’s a long-term LT for me, all the way. I was as hard on his run blocking as anybody when people were still talking top 5 — and it still needs work, but I think people are a little over the top with that criticism too. He’s not bad…he’s just not blowing people up like Fuaga or Latham do at times.

No telling whar direction Howie will go but it will absolutely make a difference!!!!!

It would hurt to burn both of those 2nd rounders. Would much rather do 36 + 67 for an OT, or at least get a little back if we’re doing both high 2nds (say, one of JAX’s mid-4ths or something like that). But at the end of the day, I’m preoccupied with protecting whichever QB we choose, and I think the team should be as well. Throwing the future of the franchise out there as a rookie with shoddy OT play just can’t be an option. And I think Fashanu is good enough in pass pro right now to be a significant upgrade for us. So I’d do that deal.

Both remarks can be true 👍

So every target from this season is on YouTube. I can kinda see the MvS comps. Same route running ability, like no YaC skills at all, deep speed, burner, big/tall, body catcher. Even have the same number and LSU away uniforms look like Packer aways from a distance. But BTJ can actually track a football with consistency, hardly drops it, doesn’t fight the ball in the air, and when he needs to he can pluck it. Like I said, MvS would actually be a great player if he knew how to catch the football, or could track it. But he’s not trustworthy at all, so QBs ignore him even when he’s open and waving his hands

Oh yeah, I have no delusions that he’s been anything but a bust. I saw a cut up of his lowlights and he was comically bad. Still, on the same tape the whole line and QB also seemed unaware of what the playcall was. In GB, he won’t be slated to be anything more than depth or maybe even just a camp body if he is truly broken. I’m just trying to get some insight on how a highly touted guy fell apart so much. The optimist in me hopes our coaches can find out how to get him back on track. If he can’t be on an island at tackle, maybe he can move inside and be a competitive guard? Obviously a longshot at this point but he’s not a typical pickup at this stage of the year.
