Addison @ 32

[DesertSteel]

Addison tested average (4.49) at the combine and his weight was light (173). Did I mention he also had small hands? I’m thinking this could drop him to 32.

Any takers?

[DuckHodges]

At 32 sure, I have no problem with it if he's the BPA

I’d take him and be happy with a falling Porter and falling Addison as a 1-2.

So you mean Porter at 17?

[86WARD]

So you mean Porter at 17?

Yes.

[DuckHodges]

Yes.

Not sure I'd take any CB in the first with 4.5 speed. 40 times are usually overrated unless they're DB's. To play the position well, you need to be fast. No way around it. Receivers can do it with great route running (AB) though, but I can't remember any great CB who didn't have 4.4 speed or better.

4.46. That’s much better than 4.5. If you don’t think so watch an overlay showing the difference between 4/10 a second. Also, JP has a chance to perform better at his pro day.

Brian Branch, NFL.com’s top ranked CB ran a 4.58. Talk about taking a hit to the rating.

I think Branch is considered a hybrid safety. He is a versatile player that has lined up at both safety positions, nickel, and LB that also plays near the LOS and blitzes. He has a ton of value with his skillset, but he's not really considered a CB by other evaluations that I have seen.

I don't consider him a cornerback.

Brian Branch may be the choice to replace Terrell Edmunds if he's not re-signed.

Just saying how NFL.com lists him.

[pczach]

I know how NFL.com has him listed. I'm just saying how he has been used throughout his career and how he is being looked at by most as his position at the NFL level. Because he can hold up so well in coverage in nickel while also being able to play both safety positions and some LB/blitzer, he is highly regarded because he helps any defense match up no matter what the offense throws at them.

[EzraTank]

I know Addison and Pickett were great together in college. One only needs to look at Burrow to Chase to see what it could be. If he's there are #32 I'd consider it, but I don't think he'll be there.

[El-Gonzo Jackson]

Are his 8-3/4" hands considered small? If you look up his and Dionte Johnson's combine stats, they are pretty similar in height, 40, vertical, hand size.

Addison is a smoother route runner with better hands but undersized. I like the comparison to Tyler Lockett. I think DJ is quicker in getting off the jam and evading tacklers with lateral quickness.

I personally think the Steelers have a lot more needs than a WR at #32 and I dont think Tyler Lockett type production is a #32 pick, but he likely wont last past the top of the 2nd round.

Where do you think he goes after that 40 time? Mid-20’s?

[pczach]

That could be right. I know that the top of the S class is pretty good, so it's possible teams will look at the time and drop him slightly on the board because there are other good choices.

Most seem to think he's the first safety off the board. I'm not sure his 40 time is going to hurt him because his film is so good. His time is similar to the other highly rated safeties. I would guess somewhere in the middle of the first round, but nobody knows for sure how NFL draft rooms are going to respond to that.

[BlackAndGold]

I'll facepalm if they go WR in the first 3 rounds.

Start warming up.

[BlackAndGold]

Start warming up.

lol. Unfortunately.

[Bluecoat96]

I have a strong feeling that they will trade away pick 32 for multiple picks. I have no proof to back this up....just a feeling.

I could see round 3or4. Those are picks 4&5 and top 120 overall. The gap between our round 4 and first round 7 pick is something like 112 picks. If they have a WR in mind I think they draft him day2.

[Mojouw]

Just say "No" to Addison.

Jamar Chase and Joe Burrow are not dominant because they played together in college. They are dominant because Jamar Chase is mutant super freak and Burrow is a QB savant.

The Steelers already have KP's version of Jamar Chase on the roster. Just get him that dang ball!

But we need a Tee Higgins opposite our version of Jamarr Chase.

[polamalubeast]

I would said yes to him at 17 if he was a game changer but this is likely not the case.....

I don't think he is as good as Tee Higgins....

[DuckHodges]

if austin III is as explosive as advertised then i wouldn't reach for a WR

I don’t buy that he is…

Addison is not even close to the player Chase is tho , Addison isnt as fast isnt as strong and isnt as physical...

if you want to site Burrow and Chase fine ...

Ill counter with

Rudolph and James Washington

the truth will lie somewhere in the middle and frankly thats not good enough for the 1st round

Except neither Rudolph nor Washington were first round picks.

[Dwinsgames]

besides the point ....... Steelers apparently had a 1st round grade on the Reindeer and thought more of Washington apparently as they drafted him before Mason , but still besides the point

and frankly I do not think Addison should be either , he tested average with pedestrian numbers for the position , he weighed in smaller than thought to be and he isnt anything near what Jamar Chase is as a player so my point still stands
