    Injury history I'm guessing. 2 surgeries on his shoulders last year would be enough to give pause to any team getting excited about him. As far as his intangibles though, he looks the role. Has the size and definitely the speed to play at the next level if he can stay healthy. I'd say if he's the type of player that can fall to later rounds and would be worth a flier on. I'd pass at round 2 or 3 though, and not sure if I'd take him over Long or Pratt.

    That could be exactly why he’s not getting much hype. His surgeries were in 2017(both shoulders). He backed that up in 2018 with 104 tackles with 15 TFL in 12 games. I think all you have to do is watch his 2018 game tapes to be sold on his ability. I would hate to pass on a player of need with that much potential but I don’t have his medicals to peruse. Just saying I wouldn’t drop him just yet.

    If both Devins are gone, they will take Terez Hall and Mark Barron will start.

    I think the Steelers are comfortable with Barron starting if the Devins are gone and they can't trade up. I want IMPACT players regardless of position.

    That’s my thought as well. I think they’ve learned or had the lesson refreshed not to reach for position over BPA...

    If Russell Wilson and the Seahawks do not reach an agreement and have to use the the franchise tag, they won’t be able to use it on Bobby Wagner{only one franchise tag). I know there is way to many moving parts to predict what happens to Wagner. The Steelers though should have the most cap space they have ever had next offseason.
