Re: Is Roman Wilson SLOT ONLY?
I just think it’s headset to scheme guys open in the BFL, and particularly hard if you’re focused on running the ball like 1992 and using mostly 2 WR formations. Just like the year before I’d be careful about using the tail end of the season as a measure of how good they’ll be this year. Remeber eve...

Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread
I've watched the condensed version of just about every playoff game so far. the net round is going to be pretty interesting, because there was some dead weight in the first round but those teams are getting shown the door. Guentel's return to PIT is inevitable if he doesn't elevate his play with Car...

Re: Fa part 2
I think DJ Chark is closer to happening every day the trade market continues to fizzle. Bud Dupree makes a ton of sense in some ways, but him not being a STs guy makes that unlikely. If I had to guess one surprise signing, make it Robert Tonyan, Jr.. He's a fit for the system and he might be had on ...

Re: Steelers 2024 Draft Picks & UDFA Metric Analysis
Tryout... Rayjuon Pringle, Villanova WR
Also measured a little below listed and, worse for him, almost .15 slower than expected. Big play receiver at the FCS level... set the school record for 75+ yard receptions. Worth a shot.

Re: Is Roman Wilson SLOT ONLY?
Michigan had a bunch of JAGS at WR, in a run first, predominantly run offense. At this point, I hate the Roman Wilson pick, hate his size( small frame) looks small on the field. Maybe the great Arthur Smith, who's best years as an OC came, when he had an ALL Planet RB hitting his prime, and an abso...

Re: Bmac launched a rumor a playmaker in the works
The two biggest changes I've seen with Khan/Weidl/Tomlin compared to Tomlin/Colbert: *We seem to be drafting much more from an overall consensus top board which is leading to great value picks. I think Colbert was more old school in trusting his instincts and trusting his scouts, and probably more ...

Re: Steelers 2024 Draft Picks & UDFA Metric Analysis
SDT, I can get behind most of your roster decisions. One that could be argued is whether Mark Robinson is a lock or on the bubble (personally, while at one point I had hope, I don’t even think he will make the team). And did you give consideration to Dylan Cook? See, I like Cook, but Joey Fisher wo...

Re: Steelers UDFA’s signings
Arthur Smith led the universe last year in 22 personnel. They will either have a FB or a TE/HBack that looks exactly like a FB. You are probably right Still I think Edwards has some juice and if this team is gonna run the ball a lot they REALLY need a 3rd RB like Edwards This will happen… but it’s ...

Re: Steelers UDFA’s signings
Steelers signed a 6th UDFA (there are also tryout players): CB Derion McKenzie, CB, Merrimack. Details of he is measurables in the pinned thread about metrics, but the skinny is: he's slow and measured a couple of inches shorter than listed. STs/Safety kind of prospect.

Why not add him as a cheap FA WR? Meh. Doesn’t do it for me. How many Van Jefferson’s and Quez Watkins’s do we need? We need a legit guy not another complimentary piece DJ Chark is an unrestricted FA who no longer counts against the formula. He's a similar WR to Zay Jones, only younger and a bit be...

Re: Bmac launched a rumor a playmaker in the works
I don't recognize these Steelers. After this offseason (so far), it's been clearer to me Khan/Weidl have more personnel power, and Tomlin now has less (or at least influence). Which is a step in the right direction from the relationship (err...influence over) Tomlin had with Colbert in his last han...

Could be. I’d rather have a healthy Holcomb + Roberts + Wilson but we’re gonna find out. Does anyone feel like this defense will be better than the one that got blown out by SF in week 1 last year? I see incremental improvements and more JPJ but there are still some gaps even from getting to the lev...

Re: Pick 3b.98 Payton Wilson LB NC State
I would love to see him in a rotation his first year. Comes in as part of pass packages. I agree that's one way to use him where he could be effective... but he'll be off the field on 3rd downs, unless they're not giving Queen the green dot. Maybe in goal line, where they often use an extra LB. On ...

Re: Pick 3b.98 Payton Wilson LB NC State
I've watched a lot of film on Payton. His straight line speed is tremendous. He's also got a high motor and is really smart. Where he struggles is a) change of direction on a dime and b) if a big guard locks on to him. His core strength is an issue. To be fair most LBs struggle when a guard locks o...

He is an inch taller than DJ who played on the outside. Has a better 3-cone than DJ. Is faster than DJ. I think he will be fine. Dj was one of the best in the NFL beating press coverage.

I think it's going to be Quez Watkins. He fits Russ Wilson's talent for the deep ball better than Van or anybody else they have.
