    I knew they would too, I think him also being a returner has a lot to do with the pick

    I picked Diontae Johnson in our unofficial draft contest in the 6th round, what was I thinking?

    of course he's way better than Miles Boykin...

    Twitter loves the pick.

    I still say that he would have been there at 83. (I'm bitter about not getting Winovich at 66.)

    do not look for crisp breaks on his routes 3 Cone Drill 7.09 ....

    Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles didn't value him either , now he is a Stain at the Mistake by the Lake 3 teams in 4 years more of a shooting star than a superstar

    It looks like this guy could’ve been selected in the 4th or 5th round...

    Johnson returned 79 kickoffs for 1,849 yards and 2 touchdowns in addition to returning 17 punts for 343 yards and 2 touchdowns.

    a 20.2 punt return average is pretty darn good

    The Steelers once contemplated waiting to draft Devin Hester... and missed out on him. Sometimes, you just get your guy when you can get him.

    Very true, and they still ended up getting their corner later on, so I'll be optimistic... for now.

    according to reports from our WR coach, Bruce Arians called him and cussed him out because Tampa Bay was going to take Johnson with the 67th pick.

    Too early and Ben is on his last legs. I have been optimistic for the last 10 years but that has ended.

    SATURDAY EDIT:

    Sorry for the momentary loss of optimism.

    Post kneejerk I am fine with this pick.

    Absolutely true!!! I’ve had to be extremely careful.

    Do NOT Google (or follow) LeSean McCoy. Apparently, he spoiled the ending. WTF!?!
