mwalker Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) List 10 players you'd ecstatic for the Steelers to get 4 of. Obviously that means not just picking every highest rated player, but 10 you really like from across the board. My 10: OT B.Jones OG O.Torrence OC J.Michael-Schmitz TE D.Washington DT M.Smith DT K.Benton LB J.Campbell EDGE B.Young CB D.Witherspoon CB C.Smith Edited March 6 by mwalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it hard to believe - a 6'2" CB that just ran 4.35 that had 6 pick six scores or something of the like is well deserving of a top 32 pick. AND if you want him.... you take him at #17 Edited March 7 by Raidersfan1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND if you want him.... you take him at #17 I liked the Forbes pick , but never expect him to rise this much, but reality is that he has speed and can cover and catch. So do you see him as the 4th or 5th CB taken in the draft? Edited March 7 by 3rivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do you see him as the 4th or 5th CB taken in the draft? Forbes and Cam Smith are my top players. And I like Ringo. All-SEC first team more or less. Media Darlings - Gonzalez, Porter, Witherspoon. Gonzalez I see as a combine warrior. Witherspoon as a Darqueze Dennard. And Porter I can get down with if we press and blitz. You get there before anyone gets off the line - gotta love it Then there will always be that late 1st rd group: Like Deontr Banks. Solid 50-50. I say fail. I'd really like to see the full picture. This goes for all. Do they not target him, or is his 1 INT and 8 PD shoddy quality? Like PD per target would be a nice stat. Or average displacement from receiver, if we really wanna get down And then I saw his teammate Jakorian Bennett and I was like, immediately, I like how this guy plays. More so than the other guy. Tyrique Stevenson would be an example of a 2nd rd CB that makes it DJ Turner. I like him, too. Especially with some ballhawks back there. His speed will make the field much smaller and would be aood asset piece in developing an secondary. Not in a rush on Rush. Garrett Williams off the injury might be an example of a good pickup in the 3rd if you can accumulate more picks. Considered Vorhees for a similar route, but it's not gonna be it. Kei'trel Clark from Louisville is a slippery slot type in the 4th rd I like. Clark Phillips is tough. He's obviously good at this level. His body seems pretty tapped out. How much more do we got here? Still like Lance Boykin. 6'3" with some sort of splash stat every game but more so 7th/udfa now There's also a bunch of safeties I like: Jammie Robinson, Antonio Johnson, especially with scheme possibilities with Fitzpatrick and PP in the secondary. Sidney Brown is a less explosive Troy in terms of play. And then you got Ji'ayir Brown who at the very least can play special teams in that 4th round range. There's a few, dozen, I haven't looked at, but in reality, only like the UGA kid, then go thru the Brandon Joseph ND experiment bc he was good at N'western. Very good, in fact.

Clark Phillips will drop a bit and he's a helluva slot corner. Not saying he's my pick for us, but someone will get a good player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Gonzales is Eli Apple 2.0. Hard pass. I would take about 7 or 8 guys over him. Ill make a list later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he's my pick for us, but someone will get a good player. Mike Hilton 5'8 3/4", 178 LBs 29 3/8", 8 5/8" 33.5" 9'9" 4.55, 1.59 4.19, 6.86 13 reps Clark Phillips III 5'9" 184 LBs 29 1/8", 9 1/8" 33" N/A 4.51, 1.51 4.32 short shuttle, 7.0 3 cone (estimated) 18 reps So - the 1.51 burst is what stands out. That's what drives his action on the field. It's just over longer periods of time, he suffers from having those short legs, as they can't cover ground quickly enough to be 4.4. That's okay, we'll use him where he doesn't run vertical. This "downward drive action" and force he carries himself through the ball is what makes him like a pinball. For comparison, I think CJ2K is 1.49 10y split. I don't see the combine as hurting him. 4.5 from the slot is fine if you are quick. I'd like to know how close or how quickly he can hug the RT and trace his right hip, since this guy wants to play 3 cone games. Which means you're probably a 7 second 3 cone, which would be just average. So don't test. Yanno, it kinda reminds me of a Jammie Robinson situation. I'd take him as high as #49 as arguably one of the best value picks in that spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
