I really wanted to come out of this draft with our future center and a depth piece at OT. It is what it is.

So what FA Centers are out there? Because relying on converting both Corbett and Mays to Center with no alternative seems insane.

Seems slow for a 5’10 185lb corner tbh

It’s a mid 5th rd pick. It’s whatever.

I didn’t have much hope of him making it to our 5th rd pick once we took Sanders at the top of the 4th. Still hurts though.

Sounds like exactly what we needed at TE.

I don’t get the “poor” size grade. Isn’t 6’4 pretty average for TE?

That will make some people here very happy.

At a certain point these late rounders just become like UDFAs. I personally don’t see much value in them. Looking at our draft history we haven’t had a good 5th-7th rounder in 10 years. We actually had a pretty good run of them with Hurney. Hardy, Norman, AJ Klein, Munnerlyn. But yeah the past 10 years we may as well have not even had the picks so I’d just as soon not trade back to add a worthless 5th rounder, and is also the reason I felt the trade up from 33 to 32 for the 5th yr option was so worth it because ultimately swapping a 5th for a 6th rounder seems absolutely meaningless.

Trade back: Tepper Trade up: Tepper Stay put: Tepper About sums up this board.

I wouldn’t mind starting the season with Chuba and slowly increasing the snap count for Brooks week over week. Miles Sanders looked more like a practice squad player last year so I think Brooks has already beat him out. Legette will be a day 1 starter in the sense that there are routes in our playbook which will be his routes and nobody else’s. I don’t know what his snap count % will be, but he is the only receiver we have with his specific skill set.

I remember reading about one of these centers that he would be tailor made for a zone blocking scheme, maybe Bortoloni? So I wonder if that kind of player has been a target all along in the mid rounds.

Everybody says “I just want them to draft BPA” until they don’t draft whatever player some mock draft says is BPA. One thing that is clear to me is that they are drafting BPA according to their own board, rankings, and evaluations, because RB and LB were certainly not the biggest needs. Most people here, myself included, just have draft crushes on some specific players based on extremely limited information. The teams have 10x the information we do and are looking at 10x the amount of players. That’s not to say they always get it right, it’s more to say the average fan getting it right is more akin to a dead clock being right 2x per day. And you really have no idea, if you were talking to Payton Wilson’s doctors and examining his medicals just like the team is, or sitting through the interviews, or getting direct information from a team of scouts, you may find yourself agreeing with the team more than you think.

I do wonder if we would have gone center had we stayed at 39. I feel like Morgan just got an offer he couldn’t refuse with that 2nd round pick being included.

Why wouldn’t Legette and Brooks start? They say Brooks should be ready by training camp. I’m alright if they ease him in a bit but it seems pretty likely he starts at some point this season. And there’s no other WR on our roster who does what Legette does. He’s a starter.

Ah, the Washington Panthers. Sainrstil, Sinnott, now McCaffrey.

So ofc the Steelers pick him.

Sounds like me after a few drinks.

Heard his leg fell off during one interview. Not good.

I like that he doesn’t have a lot of wear and tear on his body yet since he was behind Johnson and Robinson his first couple seasons. I don’t like that he’s coming off an ACL injury, obviously. Seems like we’re really prepping to install and develop in 2024 and compete in 2025.

Just went and watched some analysis on him. Apparently he’s still very much developing as a LB and this appears to be more of a pick for 2025 and beyond with Shaq and Jewell in place this season.

When a mommy and a daddy love each other very much…

? But we wouldn’t have a 2nd next year. Important detail.
