kurgan Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I am more on the Talanoa Hufanga bandwagon than Washington. I just don't think Washington fits what we do at all. A 5'7" safety?? Hufanga is a LB/S hybrid that loves to hit. I actually like James Wiggins for that role, personally. He'd be in front of both for me. We def need secondary here. I am Kary Vincent Jr first, then Wiggins/Hufanga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 2 hours ago, jebrick said: Jordan Smith or Williams Bradley-King if you go edge. Still a lot of decent EDGE players left I would go Talanoa Hufanga. checks a lot of boxes for the Steelers. Reminds me of Polamalu ( and not just the flowing hair) Honestly, size wise I don't think Smith makes sense for us at all. At 6'6, he isn't playing LB for us and at 255 he isn't playing DE for us. He is a 4'3 DE through and through. Washington is a smurf. Has Hilton like traits but doesn't really have the build to hold up in our physical defense. I'd go with Hunfanga just based on the options listed but despite it not being a major need, Id be all over Tamorrian Terry and would not hesitate. If you watch the tape the reasons are obvious. This guy legitimately could be a 1st or 2nd round pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurgan Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 For Edge, I actually like Charles Snowden (ducks tomatoes) in the next pick. There are also some developmental corners that I like as well. There are tons of developmental WRs as well. This one has to be secondary, IMO. We also need to think about TE at some point. Geez, we have a lot of needs with only 5 picks left.

Washington Size does suck but the kids a absolute player , and can play FS which I don't think we have anyone on the roster that can besides Fitzpatrick And yeah I'd go wiggins 10 fold over Hufanga Edited April 6, 2021 by Cbrunn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cbrunn Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) Big run on edge guys Jordan smith, elerson smith and shaka Tony all off the board If we go CB I'd throw Trill williams over Kary Vincent Jr (trill has a chance to play all positions in the DB room, think of a new cam Sutton who is bigger and better run defense) But DBs are loaded with talent still , I'd like to see is go somewhere else with this pick Like a Kenny Yeboah, or Tamarrion Terry As of now it seems to be between James Wiggins Hufanga Trill williams Tamarrion Terry Kary Vincent Jr Edited April 6, 2021 by Cbrunn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cbrunn Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) WR Tamarrion Terry is insane value , and 2 guys are FA next year (luxury pick but I'm ok with it) in the 4th you're looking for guys who can at least stay on the roster , I don't see any edge left as a lock to make the roster you want a more explosive offense, adding etienne and Terry will do that for you ... Maybe we could flip James Washington for a late pick at that point TE , WR , DB would make the roster Edited April 6, 2021 by Cbrunn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cbrunn Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 D'ante smith provides good versatility and depth for the Oline too if we want to go back there. Can play tackle and guard, could be the LG of the future and move Dotson back to RG after Decastro leaves this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warfelg Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 We’ve got to toss in a defensive player at this point IMO. Going to the OL well a third time would be overkill with DB, LB, and EDGE needs at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurgan Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) Washington just went. We have 2 young DBs (Pierre/Layne) and I am not sure another CB here really changes things. I'd rather get Safety/Edge/LB depth, TBH. Wiggins/Hafanga or a player like Monty Rice, although one could argue that he doesn't add much to the ILB room with Allen/Spillane. Snowden might be the only 3-4 edge left that can help us next year, IMO. EDIT: Forgot Malcom Koonce... he is a baller that is still there!!! Wiggins, Hafanga this pick, then Snowden/Koonce for me next pick (141) Edited April 6, 2021 by kurgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cbrunn Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 As of right now according to Steelers depot new big board. https://steelersdepot.com/2021/04/2021-steelers-big-board-by-ranking-april-6/ We've gotten better or perfect value on all of our picks so far And wiggins is at 3.24 so if we take him that'll be great value in the 4th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cbrunn Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 For what it's worth they added a voting section in the draft workbook Etinne we got a C Radnuz we got a A Hill we got a B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cbrunn Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 Went with James Wiggins since it was basically a tie with him and Hufanga and Wiggins being my preferred guy. I think we can snag a CB or Edge here next I really like tre brown if you want a slot guy, and he's a special teams ace already too, so he could help in 2 phases Edge what do you guys feel about that oregon state guy? Hamilcar I think his name is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
