The ONLY thing that worries me about picking Rudolph is that I have read a few reports that talk extensively about how he doesn't play well from a muddled pocket and doesn't do much when the play breaks down.
One even makes comparisons to Palmer and Flacco.
That paints a picture of year in and year out debates about "elite" and going 10-6...I mean it isn't terrible but it isn't great either.
Colbert and Tomlin go Rudolph in the first this year and get it wrong, it is all of their jobs...
I can see that. I really have no feelings one way or the other on the matter at this point. I may decide to develop one at some point...
I do think that Baker Mayfield and Mason Rudolph are the 2 most variable of the big name prospects this year. High ceilings but franchise humbling floors.
Darius Leonard, ILB, South Carolina St. already has TWELVE meetings set up between now and the draft.
Subtext:
If anyone thinks he’ll slip to our R3 pick, I’ll give you twelve reasons why he won’t be there.
He certainly won't go in the first round. I could see needing to take him in the second round.
I suspect that the internet will be awash with folks screaming "REACH" after every Steelers pick in the first 3 rounds. These folks will ignore all arguments of fit versus need. Some will also even ignore the actual evaluation of the player and just sputter on and on about how so and so was only ranked such and such on their big board.
Ahhhhh...it is going to be so much fun.
See you Space Cowboy ...
jokes aside, I think the suddeness and glide thing becoming a meme has really left Redman forgotten in Pittsburgh. He was one of the best short yardage AND pass blocking backs in the entire NFL for a couple years until his stinger his final season made him suck and retire. And that was back when the Oline sucked. He'd be more automatic than an extra point behind our current Oline on 3rd and 1
