Round 2: Pat Freiermuth

[Ice]

That's not a helpful reality check, B2B

So, maybe just don't bother with the option year or tags, then.

Will Pat Freiermuth Be The Pittsburgh Steelers TE1 in 2021?

Moats was a big fan of the pick. He talked him up for like a 20 or 30 minute segment before the draft on why he wanted to get him in the second round.

He is not backing off any of it.

You forgot punter. We had horrible punters. Now we have a Ray Guy winner.

Not that long ago we drafted a two time Guy winner in the fifth round, the god of punting Daniel Sepulveda. Lol

The Puntisher. Incredible pick and love what he did for us.

I forget....what again did he do for us?

Got us all super stoked when we watched him level a return guy in his college highlights reel.

He was a great punter until his knees told him he needed those ligament thingymabobs to hold itself together! It was all downhill after that.

Hahaha man that made me lol.

Man, I hope Freiermuth is better than I think he is. All I can see is a future Benny Snell Football level of devotion to a guy who isn't all that great.

It is all up to him. If he has good hands, all he has to do is go Aspergers on footwork. Footwork will get him open and will set his base for blocking. Just go study Ward and Largent tapes is my advice.

If you catch everything thrown your way, you generally go to the hall of fame.

His footwork is really good. Even with that advantage, smooth coverage LBs tracked him perfectly well. We shall see. If he really, really works on blocking strength, hand placement, and leverage, he'll stick and likely be a great component. I don't have high expectations for him as a receiver, so his path is really about his value as a blocker... with enough receiving skills to be a threat.

I like the players we drafted in the first two rounds a lot. I just hate our tackles which makes it tough to get excited about these guys. Still hoping we sign a vet for the LT spot.

But the biggest revelation I've had listening to some coverage on ESPN Pittsburgh on IHeart and watching videos like this is Arthrur Moats LOVES to fucking talk. There were a few times during the coverage when I was thinking the other guys must be getting pissed because they can barely get a word in. I'm actually kind of jealous. Wish I loved my job as much as he obviously does.

JuJu, Claypool, DJ, Ebron, Washington, Najee … not that there is a whole lot of targets to go around in the offense, but I for sure like Freiermuth > Samuels, McCloud, McFarland, et al.

3 out of the first 5 are likely to still be here in 2 seasons. Pat should factor into the top 4 options by that point, and Pittsburgh has had no issues finding wide receivers for years and years now. So the Steelers should be able to maintain 5 quality pass catching options going forward, which looks like an ideal total to feed.

And if he can block, I can get excited about the future of this pick.

Didn't hold us back in R1...

true Harris will be 24, maybe they didnt want an overly older class?, just saying it may have been a factor....i mean going back to back picks with prospects being 24 and 25 yrs old may have been a bit much. i like Chrsitensen as a player btw

WTF, Harris just turned 23 in March. Having just had 2 kids graduate from High School it is now very common for athletes to be held back in Middle school and graduate HS having just turned 19. He then played 4 years (no redshirt). Guys like JJSS and Pouncey (getting drafted at 20) are the exception rather than the rule.

20 is still pretty young, but we’ve had more 20-21 than 22-23 on draft day lately.

age at draft for recent steeler 1st rounders:
2010 Pouncey 20
2011 Heyward - 21
2012 Decastro - 22
2013 Jarvis Jones - 23
2014 Shazier - 21
2015 bud dupree - 22
2016 Artie burns -20
2017 TJ watt - 22
2018 Terrell Edmunds - 21
2019 Devin Bush - 20
2020 None
2021 Harris - 23

Drafting Freiermuth. Extending Tomlin. It's all starting to make sense - Deuce is getting all his ducks in a row for the NFL return of attrition football!

I’d like to laugh at this statement, but...

You forgot Najee Harris. Looking forward to the 7.7 Y/R

Early in the season when we run the football 2 out of 3 times on first downs in the first half of games per Mike Tomlin's orders to the OC banging our head against walls kicking FGs excluding the last drive of the half.... I will be banging my head against the wall.
