Just a Bit Outside

Post by Steeldrama » Fri Jan 17, 2025 7:34 pm

1.) Kenneth Grant 6’3 339 DT Michigan- “I must be in the front rooowww.” The Steelers’ front row sucks goat balls. Larry “O” and company gave King Henry his usual 4 lane highway to run through thus sending Tomlin and HIS inept Steelers’ defense to YET ANOTHER embarrassing playoff loss.

2.) Elic Ayomanor 6’2 210 WR Stanford- “One hit, that’s all we got? One Goddamn hit?” “You can’t say goddamn on the air!” “Ahh Don’t worry nobody is listening anyway.” I’m listening, B2B. No block, no rock. YOU SUCK, UNCLE ARTIE!

3.) Jared Ivey 6’6 285 DE Ole Miss- “Phil Niekro and his brother were pitching against each other in Atlanta. Their parents were sitting behind home plate. I saw their parents more that day than they did the whole weekend.” Georgia Tech transfer and proud alum of North Gwinnett HS here in Suwanee, GA. Man, how the hell did Lane and his Rebels not make the playoffs with all those firebreathers on the D-Line?

4.) Rocket Sanders 6’0 230 RB South Carolina- “Juuuust a bit outside! He tried the corner and missed.” Hopefully, Najee’s days of trying the corner are over. This Arkansas transfer has speed and power Najee can only dream of. Dig him.

5) Jake Briningstool 6’6 240 TE Clemson-“The postgame show is brought to you by…Christ, I can’t find it. The hell with it!” Exactly, how I felt when Muuuuth dropped the opening pass against the Ravens. The hell with it, indeed. My search for a hybrid/vertical weapon from the TE position rolls on.

7) Jordan Clark 5’10 180 CB Notre Dame- “This guy threw at his own son in a father/son game.” Son of ESPN talking head and former Steelers’ safety Ryan Clark. Gratuitous nepotism pick, but kid might make a good nickel.

7) Quinn Ewers 6’2 210 QB Texas- “Heywood leads the league in most offensive categories including nose hair. When this guy sneezes he looks like a party favor.” Arch Manning will be the one leading the league in most offensive categories. Quinn here should’ve hit the portal (and Sark shit-canned for quarterback malpractice).

RIP Mr. Baseball

RIP Uke.

I actually kinda like Grant, and it's about time we had a great NT again. How long since Fat Casey hung em up? Interesting how the defensive issues up the middle trace their origin to right about then. I kinda think Tomlin tries to plug 43 DTs into our 34 base. I get most of the time we're in packages, but it hasn't worked for a decade. Maybe go back to the old formula? Wanna go for throwback football? Stop talking the talk and really acquire the Jimmies and Joes to do it.

For reasons of Buckeye homerism and Devin Bush PTSD it's hard to fully get behind a scUM first rounder, though.

Go Bucks!

Grant I like. He’d help a lot. Still need 2 more very solid DL at minimum

Ayomanor I like. I just question is he (or several other top WRs) really much better than several guys available later ?

Sanders I get the hype. However. Seems to run high a lot and I’ve rarely seen him move a pile. Great highlight clips but in Pittsburgh ?? He will be tasked with running between the guards (and not great ones) and running into a pile. I question whether his college will translate ?

The more I think about what the Steelers WANT to do well the more I like Omarion Hampton in the first. HOWEVER. THATS predicated on also grabbing another very solid RB later. I’d be damn disappointed with Hampton and Warren as the only legit RBs on the 53. As I’ve said for years the Steelers need a 3 headed monster if they are gonna make their ground and pound work.

I like Martinez later but increasingly I kinda doubt he lasts til the 7th

1. Omarion Hampton RB NC State
2. Deone Walker DL Kentucky
3. Rocket Sanders RB Arkansas
4. Kurtis Rouke QB Indiana
5. JJ Pegues DL Ole Miss
7. Bru McCoy WR Tennessee
7. Barryn Sorrell OLB Texas
7. Micah Morris OG Georgia

Wouldn’t be a bad draft

- Hampton Sanders Warren Pegues could REALLY pound the rock, AND provide some interesting receiving options, AND force defenses to account for house call speed. Morris would fit right in a guard.

- Walker and Pegues would significantly bolster the DL

- I think Rouke is a bit overhyped at this point but he could be a decent to better handoff monkey who isn’t without some big play QB ability and has at least a little ability when things break down in the pocket

- Bru McCoy would do well as a Steelers WR

- Sorrell has at least a coinflip chance of being a solid Steelers OLB starter and certainly looks like a solid rotational OLB

I would love Sanders in the 4th but I am guessing he goes higher

Not in this draft class... I think it's so so deep at RB. Seeing him in the 150s, which would be 5th round.
