He thinks it’s a heat between Ringo and JPJ with JPJ having slightly better measurables and ball skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but reaching for positions of need is also a mistake. If the CB is the top rated player on the board, take him. Reaching for an inferior OL or DL prospect just because of a mantra isn't a good move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve gone too much into that take a need territory and it’s lead to some bad things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All college CBs tend to be more grabby than NFL ones because of the rules. it seems to be a part of Porter's coverage to be grabby. That can be a big issue in the NFL.

I said a similar thing about Horn coming out and he’s seemed to be decent at avoiding flags in the NFL. I like Ri go more because of everything JPJ has minus the grabbiness.

warfelg Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 Even though we pick lower now, the curveball pick of the draft is in: I personally don’t love Levis, but I can easily see teams talking themselves into him as a Stroud/Young consolation prize.

AFF Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Assuming the Steelers picks within the top half of the 1st round, there is no reason to reach for any position. FA will cause a few positions to shore up but the Steelers need help all over, especially on defense…any position save for FS should be a possibility. I will say that I don’t want to spend that high of a 1st on an ILB or SS even though they are “needs”…I just consider them less valuable and plus they tend to fall come draft day and with the Steelers having 2 high 2nd…I would consider that more of the sweet spot if you catch my drift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rivers Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 how about giving Warner a chance as the OC for a few years? He's a fan of Kenny and being a former QB should only help. fire canada (even if we win out)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if the itch is there, I wouldn't be upset if he came to work in the Burgh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
