Livewire Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Seems like the heir apparent to Gilbert who has two more years left on his contract. I thought Hawkins would have a chance but maybe not now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rivers Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Just now, JPeezy55 said: IMO, DT, ILB, EDGE are MUCH bigger needs that OT Agree, but overall the D needed more help than it got. Maybe a new philosophy and D is history. Just strap by and get the last Fg or TD and hope for the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VigilantZombie Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 This last pick made Edmunds feel even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, unless he shows enough in his rookie year that they cut Gilbert to save some cash in his final year. I don't know but I didn't like the pick. Thought for sure they would go defense.

3rivers Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 what I like about this pick is the importance of the OL and depth. If we get Settle and or OKO, then it's all good. The way the FO is set on proving their higher draft picks are good is what bothers me the most about this team. Did we draft anybody to push Burns, dupree , hargrave? Did they forget the playoff loss and the D debacle in both jags games? Guess who they will probably play int he playoffs? Probably the jags or pats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remembered the suspension, and how it could have been a factor. As much as I want the OL to be good and stable, I was shocked they went OL here with all the help needed on D. Mediocre D stat speaking, but bad D vs good teams is what I see. No help yet at DL, Edge or ILB or CB! No $ for UFA, and what if a key player gets hurt?

SMashMouthMike Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Quote steelers must HATE this LB class.. don't we always take linebackers?lol this is odd .. oh well yes. And when they run a 3-4, and have trouble tackling, they probably should, until something that fundamental - improves. Oh well. Not what I would've done.

How about we draft players to replace below average starters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They try to prove to themselves that heir bad higher picks are good enough when they clearly aren't. This menatlity has cost them and will continue to. They shouldn't wait 5 years to decide they need to replace a player that has proven for 3 years they aren't good enough. Cut bait and re-evaluate. Hargrave is good I just don't think he can eat up two blockers at NT. Matakevich might as well be Mike Humpal. Dupree needs to develop a plan as a pass rusher.

Alex Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Do you guys think Colbert and Tomlin see our defense as the coaching issues? May explain why they skipped the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
