OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Steelers need a new ball thrower for the handball game thingy

[Coastal Kev]

Pickett and tribsky are the same player and Willis is not falling to 20. Right now WR CB and G (if they don’t think Doctson will be healthy are in play at 20

eh.. Pickett had more college experience, much better downfield accuracy and I love his pocket awareness.

 

[Andy99]

This might sound less of a need than DL but I would go get a top flight speedy WR in round one now with OL being heavily invested in in FA…Steelers need a special player like Hill is for the Chiefs on offense. DJ and Claypool aren’t really those guys to take the top off the D because of their inconsistencIEs. We need a Chase or Hill…really fast guy. If value in that WR is there in round one, go for it

Im gonna need you to start spelling his name correctly. It drives me nuts, haha.

 

[ChaosAgent]

I'd go DL or ILB.

Tomlin sucks at drafting CB.

Pretty pleased with how things have gone so far. Interested if we may bring JJSS back.

 

[Pens1566]

I think Jones from UConn is in play round 2 but they wants another hargrave not Hampton so that takes the DL off the board in round 1

Maybe, but if Davis is there I think they'd take him.

 

[ziggyjoe212]

The offense is having a solid off season.
Added 2 OL starters and a starting QB.
D is losing safety, CB, and has holes at ILB and DL.

Draft will be heavy on D.

This is where I’m at. Could use a slot possession receiver, but FA could still bring one of those. I still think FA will bring in someone for the secondary as well. We haven’t even adjusted anyones deal to make more room and there are several that could be adjusted…and a couple that could get cut.

They will fill some holes on d in coming days There’s no way tuitt comes back at that cap hit He has to restructure or has to be cut Schoebert should be released and Jack should be signed
Regardless the first rounder should be the best available ILB or CB

No they aren’t taking a 2 down DL in round 1 who didn’t do much in college. Teams went no huddle and made him useless.

I didn't say I'm for it, just that it's possible. They did meet with him ...

They can’t restructure Tuitt he got an restructure last year with voidable years they have to extend him to get his 13 million down. Joe was our best MLB last year and cutting him now opens up 7 million if they wait until June it’s 9 million your not getting better MLB play unless you pay more. I think they should pick up bush 5th year extension judging by the current market

 

[Buddy Bizarre]

Green can’t play G he has to be a zone blocking c only where he combo blocks and then get to the 2nd level. He needs to faster with his hand placement after the snap. He will need legit guards to play off of

Then they'll need to change scheme. Otherwise he's a wasted pick. He sucked last year and was outplayed by a journeyman

 

[Buddy Bizarre]

Oh Daniels isn’t the swing tackle. He’ll be a starter at one of the guard spots for sure.

They re-signed Monty Adams as well so IF Tuitt is back, then their D line is more or less set. Maybe they draft someone.

Tuitt isn't coming back. I'll bet ANYTHING on it

Their Dline needs major help

Schoebert was awful The only thing noticed of him were his white sleeves and the back of his jersey He was always chasing If that’s the case on tuitt , he should be released Feel for the guy, had a tough year both mentally and physically but he’s been injured a lot and can’t be counted on
If the d line stinks again, we’re doomed

Then they better release him Do they save any cap or is it all dead money?

Did Tuiit get paid last season? It would be insanity if he did.

 

[bigdaddyk88]

Did Tuiit get paid last season? It would be insanity if he did.

Yes he was on ir all season because of surgery. He got his full pay

 

[Zorba]

Did Tuiit get paid last season? It would be insanity if he did.

Yup he was in IR for surgery but hearing all the beat writers that’s not what kept him out all year
Good player just can’t be counted on He’s no heyward

 

[bigdaddyk88]

Then they'll need to change scheme. Otherwise he's a wasted pick. He sucked last year and was outplayed by a journeyman

Yes they will have to change the scheme they tried being a power blocking scheme last year and he will have to practice snapping all off season and get better technique. Tyler from Iowa will have the same issues with big NT but his technique is far advanced

 

[bigdaddyk88]

Yup he was in IR for surgery but hearing all the beat writers that’s not what kept him out all year
Good player just can’t be counted on He’s no heyward

We all know why he didn’t play his brother was murdered but Heyward said he will be back I do wonder if they extend him on a team friendly deal is still not 30

 

[bigdaddyk88]

Schoebert was awful The only thing noticed of him were his white sleeves and the back of his jersey He was always chasing If that’s the case on tuitt , he should be released Feel for the guy, had a tough year both mentally and physically but he’s been injured a lot and can’t be counted on

He wore the green dot and was 2nd in tackles but for the coverage guy yeah he sucks

 

[Coastal Kev]

That's almost criminal. I never liked his contract, terrible move by the FO. Never was available when it counted.

 

[OnMyOwn]

The Daniels deal is only 4.1 against the cap for this year. Making some solid moves and keeping space available for more adds. I like it.

 

[Buddy Bizarre]

Even if Tuitt returns (which he won't), a starting D-line of Tuitt-Alualu-Heyward is pretty dang old. Adams is a solid backup and Loudermilk showed promise. Beyond that, its pretty stark. This unit needs youth and depth in a bad way. If they can't sign anyone, the Steelers need to draft a d-lineman in the first two rounds.

Wormley both Davis brothers are solid depth
