Wallace is supposedly a loose cannon and needs to be developed a bit-good special teamer and depth, but the depth issue at ILB is real---we will probably add a LB after cuts this summer.

Where have you seen that? I've only read pretty upstanding things on the dude.  Unless you mean on the field? But that phrase typically refers to attitude.

Full disclosure I probably wouldnt have blown a high pick on wilson, but if last year was his peak he is still going to be a damn good linebacker for pitt.  Dude was a master player caller and simply all over the field.  The not having an acl is curious as hell because he was unstoppable last season

Steelers say he's already running the defense. We shall see.

I was not clear--I was watching a video on him and they said he was too aggressive and used to miss assignments--good athlete with good upside.  Not sure where I saw it--I will look for it and share if I find it--I watched the video and agreed that he often overstepped and left his cut back responsibilities, took aggressive false steps on misdirection, etc.--nothing that can't be fixed, but it suggested that he was mentally undisciplined.  that was my take on it. I also read that he was the highest rated LB to play at KY--

I had no concerns about the player but I have a lot of concerns about his ability to stay on the field. Odds are he's the Jaycee Horn of LBs.

Did Horn have a significant injury history in college? I didn't think he did but may be wrong

Not sure if you saw that Franchise Guy full Panther Breakdown but he called Wallace the worst player in D1 football but with great upside. Lol. Time to take the D. picks out of Everos hands. Udfa DJ Johnson in the 3rd followed by the worst player in D1 in the 3rd. Imagine if this guy was gifted good players. Just let him coach.

I don't think so. I have a hard time believing he would've been a top 10 pick if he had. Wilson was a 3rd rounder because of the huge injury risk.

Yeah, I just have a hard time making the comparison cause Horn may seem fragile now but wasn't in college. Wilson, tho... I share your concerns.

I'm just talking about a good player who rarely plays due to injury. They're not really comparable as prospects with one being a top 10 pick and one being 3rd rounder.

Yeah I understand now - tbh I didn't follow Horn at all before the draft so I didn't know if maybe he did have injury history

Average Backup Or Special-Teamer
 

Strengths

Explosive athlete.

Rangy with good chase-down gallop to the sideline.

Burst and change of direction make him a toolsy rusher.

Hands are very sticky when he gets his chances to take the ball away.

Lateral agility to expand his short-area tackle success.

Weaknesses

Play recognition and football instincts are lacking.

Frequently fooled by misdirection in both run and pass games.

Lacks patience and leverage in his scrape, allowing cutback lanes to runners.

Pulled out of position by bait routes in his spot drops.

Pass rush could use more elusiveness when diving into A- or B-gaps.

To me, his weaknesses sound like it's related to how the defensive line plays. If he doesn't trust the line to be where they are supposed to be, he may feel the need to jump on misdirection, he may have to commit more than he wants to one play type or another, and he was likely always getting head on blocks in A Gap and B Gap blitzing, rather than just getting chipped because his line couldn't hold their spot. 

You can't coach his strengths. You can coach his weaknesses and you can help him by having a dominant middle.

That and the fact he might be a one contract player given the age. 

All that being said, I still would have preferred we gambled on him than someone like Wallace.

Wallace just so clearly is in the mold of a Fitterer/Rhule "I'm smarter than everyone else" selection.

At this point, stop being cute. Get players who can just fuging play.

I feel like this is something we have lost the ability to do as a franchise.

      Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
