They say he is no good under pressure (out of the pocket). We'll see I guess. Don't really like the value in that pick. Hope I'm wrong.

Yeah, I don't like it either.
At least we have 2 better backups than Leftwich and Batch.

Steelers get "best qb name of all time" Landry Jones. eh if he can not be a total trainwreck for when ben's hurt should be ok.

Yeah he can't scramble at all. Hope all of those offensive lineman that we've picked pan out so that he won't have to in the future.
Hopefully he becomes a good backup, we haven't had one that could stay healthy in a while

they've passed on Brown and Greene so i guess they must be pretty confident in the ILB situation.

I tend to agree. He will not play much if at all the next couple years. Let him develop and learn . His natural ability that he showed as a sophomore might just come out in right situation with an organization like the Steelers. Could be boom or could be a bust pick. Worth the gamble IMO.

I'm really hoping it means Spence's rehab is going well and the nerve damage didn't cause problems.

I've watched the guy a lot. I think this organization can really take their time and develop him, tweak some things, and we could have a real good prospect on our hands. He has football intangibles. Strong arm, high football IQ, has been a team leader for 4 years at Oklahoma, won a ton, and is said to be very mature.
I was calling for a QB, and Landry Jones in particular in the middle rounds. I'm very happy. I'm actually very happy with this whole draft. Jarvis Jones and Thomas make us a ton tougher. Those guys will knock some heads off. Wheaton sounds like a great mixture of Brown and Wallace. Now hopefully he can produce like those guys have. The only pick I wasn't huge on was Bell. What I do like about Bell is he plays the game a lot like how we are all accustomed to. He's straight down him, hard to take down, fights for yards, and always falls forward. We'll see how it works out with him.

Kid has the talent and will get the time to learn as you said. At the very least I love having rookie QB's because I get more excited for preseason games
He'd be a great backup and special teamer at the very least. Love his all out effort every play, but I'm not sure if he's fast enough to be an OLB or big enough to be a DE in the 3-4. I'd consider him in the 5th if he's still there and would definitely take him in the 6th if he hasn't gone by then.
Hey it's not Mike's fault that the Big 10 has 12 (going on 14) teams, it's easy to get confused haha

Thanks! He was just on ESPN and gave his normal Tomlinisms on our picks (except Wheaton, they didn't mention him)
