NFL Draft Day 2016 thread

What's up with the NFL network cutting out all the Steeler picks?

Yep.
Three out of four picks.

[Psycho Ward 86]

i dont know anything about him. is he a guard or a tackle or both?

[pczach]

gotta keep Munchak happy too...

I'm assuming this is a guy Munchak liked.

It's not who I expected, but I can't doubt his eye or coaching ability.

I'm good with it...........Now the loooooooooooooong wait until the next pick.

He's tackle that played RT and LT. He will probably be expected to also play G.

[Craic]

At this point, I'm ready for the Steelers to take some shots at small-school possibilities. Maybe someone who can step in quickly as punt returner and work his way into the roster as a CB or WR

[teegre]

Munchak wanted him.

Ergo, based solely on that, it's a good pick.

[Shoes]

I'm sure Munch decided this one

maybe we could pass the time away by discussing why Brandon Boykin didn't play more...

The rats get 3 more picks in this round!

You'd like Morgan Burns CB, Kansas St

Great return man, that may be able to develop into a corner that can contribute down the road.

I'm afraid that doesn't give us enough time.

Maybe we can discuss if questioning Bill Cowher's quarterback picks takes away my Steelers Fan Card.

[JayC]

really glad we traded our 5th round pick for a guy coach had no interest in playing or resigning

[teegre]

I'm out.

I have the the kids by myself today... and they've been good for an hour & a half. Time to take them to the park or go SeaWorld or take naps.

did you know Bill Cowher didn't want to select Big Ben and our meddling owner had to step in and overrule him?

[Craic]

Here's another thought . . . Do we want to try and go TE in the next pick? Yes, we picked one up, but I'd like to see us develop another one from within as well. Just looking at metrics alone (I don't watch college FB), a couple names are intriguing. Beau Sandland had a top 6 40 for TE, and benched 23 times. He also shows good vertical at 35" and tops in broad jump. And, the kid can hit as a blocker.

Really? I've never heard that before.

WR or LB in R6

Is Burns 2' 8" and run a 2.9 forty????

[fansince'76]

[pczach]

Something like that.

Actually, he's 5' 11" 200 lbs

And he does that against Division 1 schools with real talent.

[Craic]

WAIT - WE DRAFTED ANOTHER OOMPA LOOMPA?

What a ridiculous pick. I can't believe you would want him on our football team. That pick is so bad, I'm embarrassed for you. The Steelers shouldn't even look at this guy. They should run the other way. If someone in the war room mentions his name, they should be fired on the spot or at the very least be forced to sniff Cam Thomas' jock strap.

[slippy]

any idea why Billings fell so far? half the talk on this board for weeks was wether we would take him in R1 because he'd be gone by our R2 pick.

the other half was how we should trade up in R1 because he'll never make it to #25...

[BlackAndGold]

They're trying to trade into the 5th round...via Kaboly

Trade both 7th round picks?

If there's a player there they really like, they have to go get him. It doesn't cost a lot to move up to get him.

Agreed, I'd see if a team would take both 7th's or, a 7th and next years 6th?? to move in the 5th round.

You know, the more I look at the kid, the more I like what I see. I'd love to see this guy in the 5th or 6th round. I think we could see him on the field a bit towards the end of this year, and have him more of a constant next year. Give him a couple of years to fill out and the coaches to work with him, I think he might be a solid contributor.
