My two cents on the draft...

Everette Brown: I think he's the perfect player for meeks system but he won't be able to start for a long time due to his one dimensional skill set. He upgrades our pass rush ability immediately which should improve our defense but not as dramatically as some are hoping.

Sherrod Martin: My jaw dropped when I saw we had drafted a saftey but when I realized our intentions I was very happy with this pick. For those who wanted Sean Smith, Martin outperformed him in every category for a CB.

For those who think martin is here to be the nickleback, this assumption is false. Martin is here to play outside, marshall will cover the slot like he usually does. I think that marshall will probably be named the starter, but both will see an equal amount of playing time just like when ken lucas was here.

I also forgot to mention the physical nature that martin will bring to the positoin, lucas was a physical corner but he lost a lot of that as his body broke down.

Corvey Irvin: I think he's a project for the future. He offers good depth compared to last year, but anybody would look good compared to last year's depth. I think he can contribute on passing downs but he also helps by strengthening our rotation.

Mike Goodson: With Williams and Stewart on the roster, it's fitting that we go after another playmaking RB. He could see the field on certain packages but I really just see him as our 3rd down RB. I don't think he'll return kicks, ryne robinson is probably the better option.

Tony Fiametta: The heir to nick goings. Blocking, rushing, recieving, and special teams...he does it all. I'm not sure if he will be activated on gamedays but this pick could shore up the FB position for 10 years. Some of his scouting reports aren't very flattering but when you think of what we require of the FB position i think he's a better reciever and rusher than hoover.

Duke Robinson: Classic road grader and has the most upside out of all guards in the draft. He can start from day one and will give us a dominating run game that matches the giants/steelers. I'm worried about the fact that he fell so far, when you're the best ranked guard in the draft and that many teams pass on you...it's gotta mean something. He could suprisingly be the only starter we have out of this draft.

Captain Munnerlyn: A pick for depth, I don't see him beating out wesley or wilson, but that's what preseason is for.

I love the Fiametta pick and think he's the heir apparent to Hoover, not Goings. He's a very good lead blocker and that's what we need with Hoover getting older.

Strengths:

Good natural athlete...Decent timed speed...Terrific blocker...Has soft hands and is a threat out of the backfield...Is extremely tough and physical...Excellent strength...Outstanding work ethic...Nice instincts and awareness...Versatile...Still has upside...Lots of experience...Real mature...A leader and team captain...Also has special teams potential.

the steelers have a dominating run game? they were 23rd in rush yards and had a rushing avg of 3.7. BAN!

I mean more from the jerome bettis days when they would run on you whether you like it or not.

A good example is the giants/ravens game this year. The absolutely dominated one of the best defenses on the gound. It was epic.

I was going to say the same thing.

I don't think you could ask for a better replacement for Hoover. Of course, I've yet to see him play at the pro level, but he seems to have similar ability as well as intangibles.

I'm very excited we've got him.

I think we had the most underrated draft of all. We didnt need much. We got what we needed and some good pickups. The FO may not hit a home run like last year but the sure made a solid double. We get a spell/starter DE, a nickel or dime db, a 3rd running back, hoovers heir apparent, and o-line depth.

Great Draft

I agree as well. Without the first rounder and not a slew of seconds and thirds, our draft went pretty well under the radar and I think under the circumstances we filled holes. With a tight salary cap, we got a bunch of mid rounders that won't require the higher salaries of first rounders, and the team had Brown as a first round talent so the FO feels good about that.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
