Cry about the picks because you didn’t like them and hated the draft while discussing new players. Praise the draft and think the Steelers crushed it while discussing the new players. Talk yourself into thinking we got amazing steals because “I mean, Holland had how many picks? That’s exactly what the secondary needs and he’ll be a huge steal.” Or probably the worst outcome of all….. utter indifference. it's nearing the end for me, seems as though fatigue has set in. Looking forward to the draft and once it's over. Just hope it goes well , not expecting anything drastic but wait and see. Thre are players I would like, but we rarely got them n the past but that was a different FO. suspense it is for now It would be nice to draft a few players we want and of course get s haul on a few drafts , mainly mitch and dionte as they are the only players that either need to go (mitch) or have value (dionte) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t burn yourself out before the draft even happens. For me I’m mentally preparing, if they stay at 17, for the possibility of any of the following. While I’ll like some I’m doing my best to talk myself into others. B. Jones D. Jones Skoronski Wright Harrison Porter Banks Bresee LVN N Smith Murphy Branch I have no clue what is possible but I’m preparing for as much as I can.

I don’t think B. Jones does either but I think if any of the “big 3” were to drop he’s a possibility. Gotta hope there’s a run on edge.

3rivers Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) lately I have also had later picks of interest that would be good. Not the usual run of the mill from the masses Porter at 17 or Broderick Jones at 17 media predictions. These later picks might not be possible unless they trade down a bit and get enough picks. For example: Getting 2 CB's would be nice but if they got enough picks, and the right CB is there depending on how they go about it, there could be a nice pick for a 3rd as far fetched as that is. Just consider the CB situation next year even if Patrick returns. I notice RB's are always there in RD3 or RD4, good ones. That might be an idea but only for depth for now. McFarland was good in limited snaps last year though, so I doubt it. What if Warren or Najee get hurt ? OL should always be kept as a priority and as a result stay good. However, the colbert regime let is go and it ended up being weak again. This cycle of positional groups getting really bad is a pattern from colbert that I noticed, not just limited to a player or injury either. This won't happen with the new regime IMO, they are already on it to correct these issues moving forward. CB's to get later are THT and Bennett. Maybe Rush but he had a really good senior bowl and has a fast 40 so he won't be later and doesn't seem quick or twitch like either. Bennett and THT could slot , something to consider since Sutton is gone and Maullet could be improved upon but I did like the airplane celebration thats for sure. OL - some of the Centers are there in RD4 and RD5. Get one now to either redshirt while Cole is here, and if Coles signs elsewhere or if the new Center is better then start when that is determined. Green and dotson better be gone, not sure they should even be camp bodies because it is taking the chance away from another potential player. It appear as though this draft has lots of good players in RD3 and Rd4 . It would be a pleasant change if or GM made a few trades and got more of these picks to get good players out of this draft. It might not play out like these mocks, but Henley tends to be there near 80. The Centers can be Rd3 to Rd5 , Patterson never allowed a sack during his career at ND if you can believe that, so not bad for a lat round pick I would say. QB's too, those QB2 prospects are there RD4 or RD5 range depending on who. colbert would try to bring back dobbs, just like when we had people out of retirement because colbert was too lazy to get players. This FO won't be doing that, I expect good draft picks and UFA activity every year. Safety as well, seems like these really good safeties are there in RD3 or so, another reason to get RD3 picks. Something that is a concern is if they get a player in RD1 or RD2 that won't even start other than EDGE. If they get a DT in RD1, that pick needs to be for a starting OL or CB. Even Edge, there are good players in RD2 for that. This is a great draft to trade down in and it happens to coincide with our needs. My avatar is annoying and a reminder but should be changed after the draft , hopefully Edited April 24, 2023 by 3rivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armsteeld Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Just watched The Pivot and it had Kenny Pickett on it. Never seen Pickett in that setting and I came away a fan. Here's the video..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigben07MVP Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Some rumors that Kyler is pushing the Cardinals staff to take Paris Johnson. That would not be good for our odds at landing a top OT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would not be good for our odds at landing a top OT if we make the trade before the draft , this is the risk as it takes 1 team to do this. If Paris is gone and then Devon is gone, then it's time to trade down a few times. It wouldn't be the end of the world IMO as long as they get a nice haul of picks and then get good players. Last half of the season LT wasn't a major issue either. Our new Interior alone should be a major improvement snd if the run game is actually legit and used on a regular basis, that will help too. for a detailed idea of trading down: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR43 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 My current mock: Round 1: Devon Witherspoon CB Illinois Round 2a. Dawand Jones OT Ohio State Round 2b: B.J. Ojulari EDGE LSU Round 3: Keeanu Benton NT Wisconsin Round 4: Ricky Stromberg Center Arkansas Round 7a: Jordan Howden S Minnesota Round 7b: Deneric Prince RB Tulsa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rivers Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 just put him at END/EDGE if TJ or Alex get injured. Herbig can get some snaps but Leal seems more than capable to be the rotational EDGE/End . If he loses weight , maybe the spin move becomes almost as good as Alex's . We should be good for EDGE if they let Leal play there. With TJ and Alex on the field, Leal could move inside on passing downs. The front looks to be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
