He likely wont come close to what Hill is, but if he is even half that, we got good value in round 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I can see Austin having 150-200 yards rushing with a healthy yard per carry average. get the ball in his hands through the pass and run game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcash4 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I just watched a reel of Austin and I gotta say, I was way more impressed than I thought I would be. I liked the pick, but he “wow”d me His route running was nice. I didn’t expect that. I expected the small school speedster who never needed to learn how to get someone to open their hips just to rip their heart out. If he can keep refining that, danger….

Saw a stat that stated he ran over 90% of his routes on the outside…saw people calling him dri archer 2.0 but people couldn’t be bothered to look 5 mins into him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I have been pimping Austin for a while now. i watched him play several games and he stands out both for his route running and speed. He is a perfect fit for the Steelers. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During their long wait after that, I think they fell asleep, and someone told them at the last minute they were on the clock and they randomly picked guys, not even sure who they were or what positions they played. Mark Robinson is .asking the Steelers 53 man roster. By next season, he may even be a starter. Speed, (smarts)instincts, tackling power, block shedding, aggressiveness, relentless, & understands blocking schemes/angles. He is exactly who Vince Williams was as a rookie.

I mean, I hope youre right obviously. You seem to know more about him than I do, but this wouldnt be the first time someone has talked up a player to me that ultimately did nothing. Not a knock on you, and not even a knock on this player since most 6th rounders do nothing....but Vince is the only one of the late round ILBs that even remotely worked out for us, so I hope youre right.

jebrick Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I did mean an 'A' as people want to hand out grades based on the supposed value of each pick. Since the draft set the actual value of the picks, all teams get an 'A'. Now that everyone feels good about the players their team picked, we can actually assess the talent by the last cut date, then after a season and then after 2.

I blame the margaritas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
