[3C's]

Honestly think they pass on Jack too.

Board really slow for everyone else?

 

[Idiot Boxer]

Please, God, no.  There is no trade down 3 spots partner.  We could go down to 31 for a QB, but that's it.

If Billings isn't there, I'd trade down and then trade down again.  There's a bunch of DTs, CBs and S with 2-4 round grades.

 

[3C's]

Could be Jack here...but is NFLN starting to "show their hand", give picks away now? All about Lynch here.

Yeah, it's loading very slowly.  Thought it was my internet.

If Billings isn't there, I'd trade down and then trade down again.  There's a bunch of DTs, CBs and S with 2-4 round grade.

Then shouldn't we take a player with a round 1 grade since there's so few?

 

[Franknbeans]

No chit.  With the way they consistently blow picks beyond the 3rd round, I wish they'd load up and get some more chances.

 

[Idiot Boxer]

Not in love with any of the players available outside of Billings. Which "1st round" talent do you think stands out above the rest?

If we take an injury risk, I'd prefer Jaylon Smith to Jack.  I prefer trading down and maybe getting Smith and some picks even more.

 

[3C's]

Schefter says WR run coming. Steelers should have a few options if that's true. Pretty sure Wash goes D though.

 

[3C's]

Texans trade up. Bound to be Treadwell. Right?

Butler.

 

[pghrob]

WR run...let the value fall.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

It's possible we take Jack and play him at safety.  Then move him to ILB when we move on from Timmons.  I don't expect this, but it's a possibility.

 

[3C's]

Unless someone jumps up in front Steelers should have Jackson available.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Really hope they don't take Jackson, or any CB here really.

Trade down.  Or take Billings

 

[Idiot Boxer]

Really not a fan of this. Which means its probably the pick.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Same feeling/expectation. :(

 

[3C's]

Cincy goes dline or trades down to KC, giving KC Jackson.

 

[3C's]

Rain fade so no signal on DTV. Might miss THE pick.

[Idiot Boxer]

Denver looking to trade up.

 

[3C's]

#### you Marvin. #### you in your ####### ugly face!

 

[by_the_sea_wannabe]

Well done bungles 

 

[pghrob]

Denver looking to trade up.

Would love this. 

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Thanks, Bengals!

Rather have football players instead of just a guy that can run fast.

 

[Idiot Boxer]

I know 3C's is upset, but I take Billings or trade down with Denver here all day long.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Would love this. 

Do it.

If it doesn't pan, grab Billings.

 

[3C's]

No spoilers but the pick is in.

 

[Bojang0301]

They look really happy for missing on Jackson

 

[Idiot Boxer]

Oof.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

I don't know about this.  Great upside, but major bust potential.  Feels like a reach.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Well, I like Burns a lot more than Jackson....

but felt like he was a second rounder. 

 

[3C's]

They look really happy for missing on Jackson

Wouldn't know...rain fade still. <_<

 

[Idiot Boxer]

Could have traded down with Denver and still gotten Burns.

 

[Franknbeans]

Couldn't they trade down and still got him?

 

[pghrob]

Reach. Desperation pick

 

[Evilgrin 72]

Could have traded down with Denver and still gotten Burns.

I think so.  Not sure why they wouldn't have done so unless Denver was already engaged with Seattle.

 

[3C's]

James C Wexell ‏@jimwexell 3m3 minutes ago

Steelers get Bryant McFadden II -- CB Artie Burns

 

[Blick]

Feels like Troy Edwards. 

 

[3C's]

several nfl.com guys had Burns there.

 

[pecorino]

Agreed, reach. Need pick. I wanted Jack there but I guess his knee is pretty bad.

 

[Idiot Boxer]

I think so.  Not sure why they wouldn't have done so unless Denver was already engaged with Seattle.

I don't know why they don't use their clock.  It's not like this was DeCastro.  

 

[Idiot Boxer]

We used to be a BPA team.

 

[by_the_sea_wannabe]

Not a reach

 

[5-ish Finkle]

The fact they didn't use the clock tells me Burns was their guy from jump.

 

[3C's]

My guess goes back to what Colbert said earlier. He has guys on his board he wants at that spot. Maybe Burns was the last guy he had left.

 

[Idiot Boxer]

The fact they didn't use the clock tells me Burns was their guy from jump.

I get that feeling too.  But I don't know why they don't talk to the Broncos or the team the Broncos were worried about sniping them.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

I think that's a pretty safe bet.  Or not necessarily the "last" guy, just the top guy left on their board.

They pretty much ran up there with the card.  Couldn't have been some kind of "panic" move.  They had him in the chamber, IMO.

 

[Cookiemonster]

Burns.  It does burn.  I would have love him as a 2nd round pick.  Bell?  Butler?  Billings?

 

[Franknbeans]

First corner drafted rd 1 in 17 yrs

 

[5-ish Finkle]

I get that feeling too.  But I don't know why they don't talk to the Broncos or the team the Broncos were worried about sniping them.

Coulda been like EG said....already engaged with Seattle, etc.
