Cross is of the ilk of Neal and Ekwonu so if they will sprint to the podium for Neal or Ekwonu, they will for Cross too .. and I doubt all three are gone by 6 - I don’t think we are trading back

If we’re moving to a downhill running offense we’re probably not looking a Cross. He is known for his pass protection but wasn’t asked to do much run blocking in college.

I think the Steelers love Willis--and if Willis is available, we can get #20 and #52 and the 2023 first rounder.  That is huge because the Steelers are likely to finish at the bottom in 2022--especially with a raw, developing QB.  THAT would give the Panthers 2 early first round picks next year if they don't find a QB this year.  I think it is a long-term play, but it is the play to make if Pittsburgh decides to get ahead of Atlanta (8) and Seattle (9).

Tomlin has never had a losing season. Wouldn’t expect too high of a pick.

The nfl is a passing league.  We are morons to try and run some antiquated system.  Take cross and the next coaching staff will be thrilled.

Yeah Fitterer comes from Seattle, their whole philosophy was about stockpiling picks. Fitterer traded down like what? 4 times last year? He definitely wants some 2nd and 3rd round picks, it just a matter if he gets an offer good enough to justify it.

If he doesn't move down and drafts Neal/Cross/Ekwonu, there are always a few QBs that fall lower than projected. If Howell/Strong/Ridder is sitting there in the late 3rd, i wouldn't be surprised to see Fitterer maybe try to move up before the end of the night.

Not really. Neal and Ekwonu and more power guys with better run blocking skills. Based on out FAs I could believe that we would pass on Cross honestly.

It's not an antiquated system. We saw it in the playoffs last season. IF MacAdoo does something similar to what the Giants ran then the passing game will be WC style with a lot of quick reads and shotgun. The power run game helps set that up and helps keep pressure in check as they must respect the run. It also sets up play action which is very effective. This is why I'm so big on Pickett. He is the only QB that I see in this draft who has the accuracy and quick release to make such an offense click.

      Kicker

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I basically made almost the exact predictions on a phone call with a buddy about 3 weeks ago. I really do expect Evero gone before the seasons end, Young to just not able to get over the hump enough and DC to head into next season on a VERY hot seat.
