This has to be one of the best drafts I have seen from your team since I have been watching the draft. While it may not have been as good as my Steelers...it was pretty darn impressive. Screw the pundits who 'think' you reached for Tannehill. You don't find athletic 6 foot 4 inch QB with great arms and amazing athleticism every year. I would wager that talent wise in last two drafts he would have only followed Luck, Newton, and RG3 and if he had better talent around him in college and one more year starting at QB that may have been different. Nobody knows him better than your coaches so I would trust their judgment on this one. Great job finally going for it at the most important position. Martin in round 2 was nice and you now have a pretty stout line especially if you get better guard play. Vernon and Wake I am sure will wreak havoc and meet at the QB plenty for years to come. You will now have a more dynamic pass catching TE in Egnew who is a huge improvement. Great pickup of a talented Lamar Miller who projected much higher. Now you have perhaps deepest set of RBs in the league. I am sure one or two out of either Cunningham, Mathews, Moore, Naanee, Wallace will develop and your WR corp might be better than you think. After all, Moore, Wallace, Gates all went without OTAs last season and they desperately needed them so I would not be surprised if they are productive.

Seems to me from the outside, that the previous four or five regimes really screwed you. However, the last two drafts have been nice and assuming a 6-10 record you will have high picks next year and be able to finish the 3 year plan and really return to respectability. Good luck, I know it's been a drag for awhile but true fans don't abandon their teams during tough times and hopefully things turn around for you that stuck it out.
 
Thanks and classy post. Another good draft for you guys as well. Kudos on getting some stud O-Linemen to protect Big Ben. Great point about no OTA's last season. I think the ability to have OTA's and full Mini Camps and then Training Camp will help out so much this season. Having Tannehill get as many reps as possible to help his progression towards the starting job is essential, but also having him to translate and help Moore and the other QB's learn the playbook will be huge. Also having the A&M receiver do the same for the receiving corps should also help. I'm really looking to see who battles in camp and wins out and how this team shapes out come kickoff of Game 1.

Can we have David Decastro?
 
Good post. Steeler nation has some of the most knowledgeable fans of the game.
 
Thanks for going out of your way to come here to share what's largely a forum consensus opinion. Similarly, your draft was terrific; no doubt you and most of your fellow Steelers fans were dancing a "Rooney Irish Jig" when DeCastro fell to you. He would have looked great lined up next to our Pouncy too!

Good luck next season. :up:

Thanks man.....extremely classy!
 
Always nice to have some "outsiders" who comes with some fresh input. Nice post.
 
i would have given you a thanks but im sorry, 6-10 is unacceptable. I expect a 10-6 season or better from philbin and this new team, anything less is a huge dissappointement.
