OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Off Season We dont need a QB Edition

[Snooki Stackhouse]

Eh Sawyer is fine, early down run defender who will offer nice depth. He and Herbig as a combined entity could be a nice solution. There were sexier picks.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Now wondering what we say about Highsmith's future next year when Herbig is eligible for his first extension.

I think it makes me question Herbig more than Highsmith tbh

Sawyer is not a linebacker btw. Edge guy. Great against the run. Incredible character.

 

[Coastal Kev]

They need OLB depth, but Watt, Highsmith and Herbig is already pretty good OLB depth. Wouldn't have pegged an OLB as a need over a WR.

Why do they need WR depth? They have DK, GP, CA3, Wilson, Skowronek, and Miller

Because after Austin, that group sucks ass. And even Austin is pretty mid and Pickens is likely gone after next year.

Jeremiah had Sawyer at #70 PFF at #92, we got him at 123.

Wilson could be a stud... you don't know. Any WR won't break the top 4 in playing time this season and most likely would have trouble making the team.

 

[Ryder71]

We should trade up for Farmer.

[Empoleon8771]

I'd be trying to trade up to get another pick to take Ayomanor and take Howard with their 5th.

 

[Ryder71]

What's not to like about this pick? At worst he's a 3rd rounder. Jeremiah had him as an early 2hd.

 

[WickedWrister]

Ruben Hyppolite II is an elite name

 

[Andy99]

They got three players who can help them this year so it’s hard not to like what they’ve done so far…hopefully someone can score some points though lol… in addition to Boz

 

[MrBrightside]

As a general rule I'm in favor of drafting good players and not worrying about need when you're in day three of a draft.

All things being equal you go for need, but yes otherwise try to get BPA.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

I think the collusion argument is usually stupid. Teams do what is best for themselves. They do not collude to screw over players.

However, if Sanders goes undrafted I would almost call it a soft collusion.

Meaning all the teams are sick of entitled players who have made their lives hell over the years and there may be some message sending here. And Sanders is the perfect case to send the message.

Not that they all got together to screw him over. But without talking all came to the same conclusion.

Yes, he was not a top of the draft talent.

He also is more talented than going undrafted.

 

[pistolpete11]

Is it wrong to call him a run stuffing OLB? From the write ups and the few highlights I've seen, doesn't seem to have the athleticism to really get after the QB in the NFL. Could be the Wilson/Roberts platoon we saw last year with Herbig, just on the outside instead.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Ayomanor gone to the Titans at 136.

 

[MrBrightside]

Since they aren't drafting a WR likely to help immediately, makes you wonder if they'll add someone like Lockett or Cooks after the draft.

 

[Ryder71]

Ayomanor was trash, glad we dodged that bullet!

 

[Ryder71]

Lockett signed already with TEN I believe.

 

[MrBrightside]

Lockett signed already with TEN I believe.

Ah. I missed that. Then replace Lockett with Cooper or Keenan Allen in my prior post.

 

[Ryder71]

We got DK, GP, RW and CA3, we're good there. Just pretend we're drafting Roman Wilson this year and it makes more sense I guess.
