2023 NFL draft thread

Mr. irrelevant: Desjuan Johnson, DE Toledo.

That is such a strange designation. There are hundreds of guys signed as RFA who are much more irrelvant.

Tae Crowder was a Mr. Irrelevant.

True. It just made a lot more sense when there were 18 rounds to the draft.

true ...........

and in 1974 there was 17 rounds in the draft and Donnie Shell still went undrafted ....

highly under rated SS who in many ways out played Troy P at the same spot for us a few decades later ..

not sure but Shells 51 picks was an NFL record for Strong Safeties at the time of his retirement and may be still idk

For years Steelers' fans were clamoring that LC should be in the "Hall" (which I agree with), but, to me, the player overlooked the most was Donnie Shell. I can still remember Earl Campbell (just a pinch between my cheek and gum), running over, and thru, other team's linebackers and defensive linemen like they were made of confetti, only to see Donnie Shell repeatedly drop him with solo tackles. I was so happy when he made the Hall of Fame.

Thank god we have Kenny. I would not feel this level of enthusiasm if Mitch was our starter.

[El Kabong]

Merril Hoge said the hardest he'd ever been hit was by Donnie Shell in practice.

So there was much talk last year about how we shouldn't have taken Kenny, the 2023 QB class were going to be so much better, wait until then for the QB. How does that thinking look now?

There was an article I saw yesterday saying that Kenny Pickett is a better QB than any of this class. The media can't make up their minds

Another draft in the books. Such a fun part of the offseason.

The Khan era started almost a year ago, but it officially began after his first draft class.

umm. No it started well before. As you said, officially a year ago. You disqualify everything g else and especially the prep towards the draft. The actual draft is the easier part.

As far as I know right now, they didn't get any of the players I was hoping for. A big, fat zero.

[EzraTank]

I saw a 2024 mock on CBS sports that had us picking in the top ten (#9 overall) ... are we going to be that bad? LOL.

Why even make this comment? The draft class clearly includes the entire process. Don't become a troll, they don't last.
