Probably want LB J Brown

[hawaiiansteeler]

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

Jeremy Cash, Jatavis Brown or DJ White?

Jeremy Cash, Jatavis Brown or DJ White?

Could see them liking the first two. This is a defensive draft, if they like a guy, they need to get him.

[steelreserve]

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.

Word last night was he had a surprise knee problem that teams were concerned about. I just hope be doesn't turn out to really be a first round talent and now he's busting our balls for the next 10 years. Somewhere, BengalGirl5150 is laughing her ass off.

We haven't taken a linebacker yet, lost one ILB and are set to lose 2-3 OLBs next year depending on whether we re-sign anyone. I would be stunned if we didn't take one this draft; maybe that's what this trading up talk is about.

I'm on my tablet right now so I can't post the tweet, but Kaboly just posted that we are snooping around trying to get into the fifth round for someone.

I'm sure it's whoever Cinci just picked

I think the rats, Bengals and Browns are getting three picks to our one in this draft.

[Psycho Ward 86]

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.

idk about that. do you plan on keeping 4 tight ends on the roster? because Green is definitely staying, Spaeth is still an invaluable blocker, and we just got Jesse James. I wouldnt want this kid unless he can at the very least, block like a mad man

I"m not sold on James. On top of which, I have no problem putting the guy on the PS for the beginning of the year. He seems like he can both block and catch, and has a drive to finish plays from some of his highlights. Of course, those pick the best plays, so who knows.

[Psycho Ward 86]

DAMN. I wanted Drango!

[Vis]

We didn't get back into the 5th round. Maybe a move up in the 6th, but I doubt it.

I think the steelers are watching all their picks vanish before their eyes. J Brown to the chargers

[Psycho Ward 86]

Jatavis Brown to the chargers. wonder if thats who we were after. he did come in for a visit after all.

dark horse speculation: Maybe it was Kalan Reed. Gotta remember that our 6th round pick is reaaaally deep in the 6th round so its more like a 7th round pick really.

I want Kalan Reed so bad. And yes, I'm willing to hold onto 6 CB's to do it (at least if you count Doran Grant on that 6. Personally i would prefer to let Sean Davis and Grant focus on becoming safeties for now)

Yes, I believe Brown was in for a visit

DJ White to KC

[Psycho Ward 86]

Harlan Miller and Jonathan Jones are 2 corners we showed interest in that might have been targets for the trade up as well. Personally id rather have Kalan Reed, but Jonathan Jones could be a legit candidate to get early playing time

[JayC]

did the Jaguars get our pick?

[steelerkitty]

did the Jaguars get our pick?

Yes...for that Kicker who will remain silent here.

oh that guy lulz

[pczach]

They're getting ready to interview Coach Tomlin on NFL Network.

It will be good to get his insights into the draft and the players they took. I guess this is a makeup for going to commercial for every freaking pick!

Just wanted to give a heads up.

[Kent]

I wouldnt mind picking up the next Tom Brady here in the 6th.

[hawaiiansteeler]

I'll take another AB here in the 6th, please...

[pczach]

I'll take another AB here in the 6th, please...

Ain't that the truth!

[Psycho Ward 86]

QB Brandon Allen, OLB Dadi Nicolas, CB Harlan Miller all guys we were interested in gone.

if we truly go BPA, Jonathan Jones or Kalan Reed have to be in the conversation. I would not mind having 6 CB's on the roster this season, even though we have 2 CB/S types in Davis and Grant

[Kent]

Driskel was the QB I wanted

Davis isn't going to play CB for us, he's going to be a safety...

They just said on NFL Network that this is the last year that teams can't trade compensatory picks. Next year they will be able to trade them.

[Psycho Ward 86]

right, but he has that flexibility. just adding in that counter point for those who might be against us drafting another corner..Some people will feel like we have 7 true cornerbacks on the roster if we draft another one. i dont agree with that sentiment

thanks for the clarification, I had read that they changed the rule but didn't realize that it takes effect next year.
