mwalker Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Can't help myself. For this mock's purposes, I'm trading AB to SF for a 2nd, 3rd this year and conditional 4th in 2020. RD1 TE T.Hockenson, IowaRD2 FS N.Adderley, Delaware RD2 CB A.Oruniwaye, PSURD3 WR D.Samuel, SCarolina RD3 LB G.Pratt, NC State RD4 OLB B.Banogu, TCU RD6 DL R.Wren, Arizona St. RD6 LB B.Blunt, McNeese St. RD7 OL T.Prescod, NC State Thoughts?

jebrick Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Ignoring the TE in the 1st which is horrible, the next 4 are very good. i am also a fan of Blunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjfollett Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 A 2nd, 3rd, and conditional 4th seems like a bad deal for the Steelers. Amari Cooper garnered a 1st round pick, and so did Brandin Cooks. That said, I agree with @jebrick about 1st round pick TE. The ideal pick in my mind is a 3 down ILB or lock down CB.

AFF Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I’m a big fan of adding another weapon overall on offense at TE especially if they trade AB...however just not in the 1st. Adderley is starting to grow on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO it's not. Hockenson is a stud, and when this offense didn't have McDonald it stunk. Now you're going into the season with only 2 "reliable" weapons in Conner and JuJu. Yeah, you need a huge infusion of talent at the skills positions if you're going into the season with that. No one else on the roster is even worth noting really. Washington hasn't done squat, and I was never a fan of his in college either (I liked Rudolph a lot more than him). The 5th round rookie RB (whose name escapes me at the moment) showed a few nice flashes. Who else is even worth noting? Switzer? Eli? Hunter? DHB? You're looking at a solid #2 WR, a solid RB, and a bunch of #4 caliber/backup players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Then why get a TE? D.K. Metcalf might be there and N'Keal Harry would be there as well as any other WR you fancy. They would still be bad picks in this absurdly deep WR draft but they would be better than a TE when you have McDonald and James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be a big fan of Irv in the second, though. I think Irv Smith will be as good as Vance by the end of next season. Having two weapons like that as TE's causes a bunch of matchup issues. Also, Connor seems like a good back for a multi-TE, physical offense. Plus, the benefit of having a more physical offense means they can keep leads and hold onto the ball, which can hide defensive flaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would still be bad picks in this absurdly deep WR draft but they would be better than a TE when you have McDonald and James. Here's my thinking. You'll never replace Brown with a like for like, so you have to diversify your offense. You could be right and I.Smith could be better in round 2, for example, but N.Harry and D.Metcalf (by the way have you seen how bulked he's gotten, worrying scouts he could be going all David Boston?) aren't going to give us separation. Creating a strength down the middle of the field, to weaponize along with McDonald in two TE sets, would force safeties to not play over the top of JuJu. Juju is great, but he isn't a speed player with huge separation. It's just a mock. I could've easily went CB and LB in the first two rounds, but I thought with the Brown trade it might create a bit of conversation. If I'm going receiver in the first three rounds though, I definitely want some separation. It'll be interesting to see what Hakeem Butler runs. P.Campbell from OSU will light up the 40. so it'll be interesting to see what he does in the hands drills. R.Ridley may be the best of them all, but Deebo Samuel man...he might be the real deal.

VigilantZombie Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Dont like TE in the 1st but I understand the logic. I just dont feel its the first thing we should address. Overall I will give it a B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
