Some incredibly inferior OG's went off the board much earlier.

I think Jonah is a late 2nd to early 3rd prospect easily Good pass protector and on the backside on IZ - if that's what you're looking for, he's a solid pick. Love his demeanor, but not necessarily a fit for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We like our maulers in the Burgh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justone2 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 He is someone we have been discussing for a while now but really don't think he fits in our scheme. Most of the O-line picks so far before him have been teams running outside zone and thats why guys like Hennessey get pushed up and guys like Lewis and Jackson drop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigben07MVP Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) Summary of our FFMD so far (since we don't have another pick for a while). Pittsburgh Steelers Trades: DET Receives: 49, 198 PIT Receives: 67, 109, 112, 183 ------ SEA Receives: 67, 135 PIT Receives: 59 1.18 - Minkah Fitzpatrick, S Alabama2.59 - Cam Akers RB, Florida State3.102 - K’Von Wallace S, Clemson 4.109 - Donavon Peoples-Jones WR, Michigan 4.112 - Solomon Kindley OG, Georgia4.124 - Alex Highsmith, EDGE, Charlotte 6.183 - 7.233 - I am ecstatic with this haul so far, especially considering how many picks we had to start the draft with. That maneuvering with Detroit and Seattle early on in the draft is looking like an incredible move so far. We wisely maneuvered to get a guy we were all high on in Akers who will have an immediate impact in year 1. It's hard to find a player capable of doing that at the bottom of the 2nd round. We got a guy with Kareem Hunt/Aaron Jones potential. He will split with Conner in 2020 and most likely become our lead back in 2021 after Conner leaves as a free agent. Wallace is going to be extremely valuable right away as a special teams player and part-time chess-piece on defense. Having guys like K'Von Wallace, Devin Bush and Minkah Fitzpatrick controlling the middle of the field will make our defense even more deadly. He is a great locker room/leadership guy and comes from a winning culture as well. DPJ is a 2nd round level talent and probably goes much higher in any other draft that isn't so saturated with great receiver prospects. He will be another weapon for Ben and could even help on punt returns and special teams year 1. Steelers now have JuJu, Dionte Johnson, James Washington, Deon Cain, DPJ, Eric Ebron, and Vance McDonald for Ben to throw to. Kindley is a favorite prospect of mine. He is massive but nimble and plays with a nasty mean streak. He has potential to be a future starter or top backup at both guard spots at the worst. Highsmith is a project that has a skill you just can't teach, he is athletic as hell. He can start off as a situational pass rusher and hopefully add some weight and strength to become our top edge backup or potential to take over for Bud Dupree if we can't retain him next off-season. Not to mention all of these prospects fit the Steelers mold of what they look for. P5 schools, underclassmen, high character, leaders etc. Edited April 9, 2020 by bigben07MVP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind Character Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 21 hours ago, Mind Character said: The Cleveland Browns are looking to trade down from #157 (the 11th Pick in the 5th Round acquired from the Atlanta Falcons) for at least two other lower non-7th round picks ideally one being a lower 5th and maybe the other being a quality 6th if not another lower/compensatory 5th. We're open to hearing offers and ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, my GM really liked the idea of Dantzler and we needed a corner. But had those two things happened, we were going Hennessey.

We felt like he's a much better fit in a man-blocking, north-south power run style offense rather than a wide zone based system like ours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
