Starting to think somebody's trying to get fired.

Did they give up? Forgot there were more picks?
Deep draft.
Lots of players left with high upside.
We draft a motherfucking long snapper.
Suck my fucking dick, Tombert.

This will result in some entertainment around here. Better than a 4 on a punter with bad knees.

apparently Steelers Tuesday night Trivia at Applebee's has been a struggle....
our Carnegie Melon version of Ernie Adams has called for smarter players. Between him, Dobbs, and Holba they will crawl out of cellar and eventually contend for free sliders.....

It's a Character thing folks. The Steelers want chior boys playing football for them.
This is what I got:
Like Rich Eisen stated. We just had our first drafted Long Snapper. 'Long Snappers are draftees too'. 
This is what I got:
OVERVIEW
Holba was the valedictorian of the largest high school in Kentucky, a three-year baseball player, and had two years of experience as a long snapper when he decided to walk on at Louisville. His father, John, played quarterback at Ohio University and Western Michigan, and his cousin, Andrew, is an offensive lineman at the Air Force Academy. Holba redshirted in 2012, and played in only one game between the 2013 and 2014 seasons as four-year starter Grant Donovan had everything under control. He stepped in for Donovan in 2015 as the team's short and long-snapper, and held that job in 2016 as well. He made three tackles in coverage the past two years while providing consistent snaps for placements and punts.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Two-year long snapper. Has good velocity on both short and longer snaps. Field goal and extra point placement is very consistent. Snap-to-punt time is near NFL range. Has rangy frame with long arms and should be able to add more weight. Has snapped for both left and right-footed kickers.
WEAKNESSES Could benefit from adding strength. Gives ground and allows push through his edges on field goals. Placement of punt snaps was a little low at times.
DRAFT PROJECTION PFA
BOTTOM LINE Has the placement and velocity necessary to be considered as a late-round pick in the draft.

We are now only a young holder away from taking the next step.

Because everyone knows this team was a long snapper and three backups on offense away from winning a super bowl

I expected much more instant outrage at this. Perhaps everyone broke their phones or computers.
I guess Greg Warren is going to retire, but a sixth round pick? I'll leave the outrage for others
Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the pigeon is going to shit on the board and strut around like it won anyway.

Welp no one's going to mistake this draft for 1974.

TJ: B+
Juju: B+
Cam: B
Conner: B-
Dobbs: B-
Allen: B+
Holba: C
This is the Round (6th) we drafted Antonio Brown, and we take a long snapper? Could we not get a long snapper UFA?
In the 7th Round we should definitely draft a Massage Therapist, since we are getting specialists now.

So what does this guy have to show in camp to make the team?
And some here thought we might not have a starter on next year's roster.
