Ughhhhh

wtf IS WRONG WITH YOU GET LOST!

MOVE OVER 1974!

Wilson went to the same high school as the Herbig's

 

[xlm34]

There's potentially some great value coming up at LB with Cedric Gray and Payton Wilson if they last too.

If they take one of these with their next pick…woo they’d be having a hell of a first two days.

 

[Shaftception]

I don't know anything about him, but just going off his report, he's small but supposedly fast and gives a good amount of effort in catching the ball.

I'm more whelmed about this selection than the first two.

 

[robopigeon]

He's slightly undersized, but he's incredibly tough. Great at blocking and doesn't shy away from hits. More than anything it's yet another identity shifting pick. They keep going with tough, high character, high ceiling, great value picks.

 

[Andy99]

This was the blurb on him on CBS…

Slot wideout who doesn't quite play to his timed speed but has nice burst/lean early in route. Super-reliable hands and has great feel for soft spot in zone. Not going to be much of a YAC type in NFL. Not noticeably quick. Should be decent separator. Adequate Diontae Johnson replacement. (Chris Trapasso)

 

[Jaded-Fan]

This draft is looking even better than the 2023 draft, and I don't mean that as a slight on the 2023 draft.

With the benefit of hindsight had they not gone tackle first the draft would have been a mess.

Khan - Weidle are playing 3-D Chess. Eagles level drafting.

 

[Goalie_Bob]

5'10" though. Which is why he lasted.

He is taller than Antonio Brown who sucked at his height.

 

[T1K]

Great pick, good fit. He was a value per the big board.

 

[Your Boy Troy]

5'10" though. Which is why he lasted.

He’s short in stature, but he has long arms and an impressive vertical. He was fantastic for Michigan last season, he made huge strides from the season prior.

He’s a character dude as well, so don’t worry about him being an asshole like previous Pittsburgh WRs.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Unfortunately just a slot receiver…no one to play outside

People complaining about the WRs are missing the boat. We don't have a reliable middle of field, short to intermediate dominator. That is what Wilson is.

Pickens wins outside. Wilson wins inside.

This is a terrific pick on paper and tape.

 

[WickedWrister]

LOL this run on Wolverines. Rich Eisen going crazh on the NFL Network broadcast haha

 

[Ryder71]

He's a great pick, incredible value, anyone who doesn't like this pick is a failure of epic proportion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Peat]

I dunno he is the guy I wanted but guy is legit WR prospect.

Also same size as Diontae Johnson and a hell of a lot quicker if we want to talk him playing outside.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I don't know anything about him, but just going off his report, he's small but supposedly fast and gives a good amount of effort in catching the ball.

He was projected as a mid 2nd rounder before the draft and really seems to fill the hole that DJ left:

Roman Wilson's journey from a highly touted high school prospect to a standout at Michigan sets him up for an intriguing entry into the NFL. His elite speed and sharp route-running skills make him a valuable asset, especially in schemes that need, agile receivers in the slot. While concerns about his physicality and durability may affect his draft stock, Wilson's ability to create separation and his performance in clutch moments cannot be overlooked. Teams in need of a versatile receiver who can also contribute on special teams will find his skill set particularly appealing.

[T1K]

So we just got JuJu 2.0. I’ll take it

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

He is taller than Antonio Brown who sucked at his height.

Wes Welker was 5’9 and he destroyed defenses. Wilson is a high motor, high character kid who fights hard and has speed.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

He is taller than Antonio Brown who sucked at his height.

Brown stood on his ego to gain height.

 

[TNT87]

Plus, I bet he doesn't run backwards when he catches the ball.

 

[Andy99]

People complaining about the WRs are missing the boat. We don't have a reliable middle of field, short to intermediate dominator. That is what Wilson is.

Pickens wins outside. Wilson wins inside.

This is a terrific pick on paper and tape.

Have to have another option outside or Pickens won’t be available…he’ll be double teamed

 

[xlm34]

Yeah the only thing with Wilson is can he play outside? Or does Smith increase his use of 11 personnel?

Good player though for sure.

 

[Empoleon8771]

So we just got JuJu 2.0. I’ll take it

I think Juju was more physical/strong but Wilson is faster/more agile. But yeah, both look like high effort slot guys for sure.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Imagine if they get TJ Tampa with their second third.

 

[End of Line]

MOVE OVER 1974!

1974?

 

[Peat]

So far Brugler had the Steelers' picks ranked at 9, 34, and 41. Brugler isn't infalliable, but that's still pretty nice to see.
