The Steelers select TE Pat Freiermuth #55 overall

[Dwinsgames]

Wow. That is a bold prediction. Heath was a HOF caliber player, and in a different offense could have had Jason Witten type stats.

If PF can catch and block like Heath, he’ll be a fan favorite in no time.

Heath coming into the league was a willing blocker but not a great blocker , he learned because he had the work ethic to learn .. PF has the work ethic , is a student of the game and is a willing blocker ( like heath just not a great blocker )

Pat has as good or better hands is a bit more athletic and still has the size, work ethic and all that so no reason why he should not be better in the end that Heath , the tool are there

Agreed, if he stays healthy I think he will be better than Miller at sunset.

And once the new sun rises, Shoes will be lobbying for a TE!!!

Hopefully I'll get a 10 year rest before the sun sets. It will be interesting to see what they do next year in filling Ebron's position.

Ebron loves him done Freiermuth.

Can’t believe we wasted a second round pick on this guy. If only we’d known Tebow would be available!

Tebow is the blocker that everyone has been clamoring for!!

If you haven’t seen his preseason blocking, it’s text book!

I saw the one block where he kind of ducked at the defender and then fell over. It actually worked though.

There’s another one that’s even worse. Lol.

Freiermuth showing what he can do with the touchdown catch on the second drive against the Lions.

Hopefully the first of many, many more!

As soon as it happened.....I thought of you and had to post something. I thought to myself that Shoes must be grinning from ear to ear!

Why did we draft a TE in R2?

Wasted pick.......

bust!

TEs don't block, must only draft OL!!!

[HollywoodSteel]

He would have had 3 tonight if Rudolph didn’t throw it behind him.

[Steeler-in-west]

Freiermuth is going to be so good, that td from Ben was the play of the game - not an easy catch!

[HollywoodSteel]

Ben on PF: “ He reminds me of another tight end we’ve had here before...”

That’s the highest praise I can think of. We all know who Ben’s referring to, and what Ben thought of that particular TE.

[Fire Goodell]

I'm really surprised it took this long for us to invest in the TE position. And no, fliers in the 5th and 6th round don't count

What were we supposed to do? Draft George Kittle with Josh Dobbs right there for the taking? That’s just crazy talk!

Guys... you know it's ok to start a new thread to discuss this. Pulling up old threads.....annoying as hell.

It's ok....trust me.

Except for AB...keep that shit in one giant dump.

Honestly, some of these are entertaining to see the detractors or those that dislike the pick, when it turns out to be a player that is impactful. Or conversely a player that is a Training Camp Hero or a 1 game wonder.

Some good threads on folks hating the REACH pick of Dionte Johnson, the Legend of Tuzar Skipper and that utter disbelief that Najee Harris and Friermuth were selected ahead of offensive linemen like Tevin Jenkins, Liam Eichenberg and Jalen Mayfield.

Although, I think the 3 year "Angrychair" waiting period for the bump is legendary if posters can wait for it.

Too early to call him Heath; too late to keep Freiermuth secret
