NYRaider Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Just now, 43M said: He disappears alot when needed most and he drops ALOT of easy catches, especially on big plays. Then, he will go out and make an amazing catch or 2 and everyone will just pretend that other stuff never happened. Dionte is like a slightly more refined version of Brandon Lloyd. The talent is there....but I dont entirely trust him to put it all together. People blame Ben, and Ben did suck last year....but his flaws are still his own. Yeah I agree with all of that, I'm assuming that you're a Steelers fan? I love your core skill position players with Diontae, Claypool, Pat, Pickens, Najee, and Austin. I loved Austin during the draft, think he can be really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think every Steelers fan is excited about the potential of this group, so young and such a diverse skillset between them all. Of course there's question marks on probably all of them except Najee (maybe Pat?), so hopefully they can each overcome their individual issues (or in the rookies case, adapt to the league and bring what they did in college to the NFL).

Diontae is coming off of a 107/1,200/8 season, he has solidified himself as a #1 level WR. Ideally Pat and Claypool can take a step up for you guys this year. I think Austin has a chance to be like a poor man's Tyreek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I would've agreed with this based on last season until the drops came back at the back end of the season. His ability to seperate and his route running is elite IMO, but if you can't trust him to keep hold of the ball or consistently come down with contested catches then I can't agree that he's definitely a #1 lever receiver.

I watch him play in 4-5 games a year and he just good, but not this great breakout WR that a lot of people (mostly in the fantasy community) label him as. Like he is a fine WR, but hes a low-end WR2 better suited as a specialty chess piece type WR3 role and by seeing the way some talk about him you would think he is the second coming of Tyreke Hil. I dont get it. Edited May 17, 2022 by AkronsWitness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scar988 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 4 hours ago, NYRaider said: Post draft I'd say the bottom five units are: • Chicago (Mooney, St.Brown, Pringle) • Atlanta (London, Edwards, Tate) • Ravens (Duverney, Bateman, Proche) • Packers (Watkins, Lazard, Watson) • Colts (Pittman, Pierce, Campbell) I'd agree. I do think the Falcons unit has a chance to play itself out of the bottom 5 ranking though. All 3 guys are young and have high potential in Arthur Smith's offense.

Hunter2_1 Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 I personally think London might bust. Call it the shell shock from drafting a physically imposing college WR who boxed out and out reached poor unfortunate college CBs, but gets to the pros and realises he can't actually do that anymore. Not saying he'll be anywhere near as bad as N'Keal, but I still chose him if we had to pick a first round bust. Therefore, I really do feel like Atlanta have the worst receiving corps. Feels weird saying that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
