warfelg Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 2 minutes ago, FourThreeMafia said: Isn't that like... Every draft pick? By no means am I saying this was a good pick . The Steelers track record with drafting and developing defensive backs is not good. This guy is obviously Raw and needs time to develop. However, as I said numerous times, there was no player at that player I was pounding the table for. I just know I would have been pissed off if we had drafted a running back at that point unless we were planning to trade Bell. And I'm not sure how much I could get behind drafting Lamar Jackson because we don't know how much longer Ben will play, and I don't want a Garoppolo situation. Fair enough. I just feel these past few years Colbert's stubbornness has gotten the better of him. I feel like they could have moved down and gotten some draft capital out of it. I think, like I said, if the NYG called and offered 34 and 2019 3rd....I don't think you can say no. Especially if you think the guy can slide down a few more spots and there's no pounding table. I get it takes two sides to make a deal, but the lack of moving down over his history tells me he's just not interested and doesn't care to. This is where I look at a guy like Howie Roseman and know he's smart. He stocked his cubboards some that he emptied, and now has the ability to move around if he needed. Teams using that to 'finance' being able to move up in future years if needed. Even if you're not into those other players, there were other things you could do.

Chieferific Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Any chance Cleveland goes Guice #33? Prolly should go Hernandez or an OT. Protect the Baker. Run the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPlainNasty Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I do have a more positive spin on the Edmunds pick. I did only do two games on him from this year, but I do recall after watching and giving a grade that I felt like the arrow was up, meaning their was potential for the grade to be higher. I dont recall thinking it would be 1st round high but there was intrigue. Also the fact that I had a game on him from 2015 means he stood out to me as far back as two years ago, enough for me to tab him that long ago. When it came to the Edmunds this year I recalled having one of them really stand out previously, but figured it was the LB. Truthfully Im not really sure who it was. In any case we did get an explosive player with size that can make up ground in short areas and should be able to compete with and bring down tight ends. As shocking as the pick was for just about everyone, it was nowhere near as shocking as Artie Burns for me. and is a much better fit in regards to style of play and TACKLING. I wish the best for them both. TBD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they shoudl take the back they want as Tampa could move up and take the one they want as Giants could use some picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on how high they Value Guice. They have 3 2nd Rdrs. Lots of time to get a RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Have a strong feeling that the Cleveland Browns are going to go Ronald Jones here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he offers that much more then what they have in that Miami RB (name escapes me/*Duke). Guice could bring the thunder. But who knows.

As much as I was always impressed watching Ronald Jones play for USC, when it came time to watch him closely and grade him I just could'nt find the things I was looking for to grade him as high as you would think or I expected.

Blitzburgh Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 So there is a story a team tried to trade for R.Penny from the Seahawks after they were picked. You guys believe that or are they trying to sell a reach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
