Thanks guy. Sean Spence from the U is a flat out baller. A little undersized but you guys got a real good player. Probably the defensive MVP of the Canes last year.
are you related to Jeff Ireland?.....lol....jk. Thanks for the post. Your team has always been one of my favorites to watch. I have always want us to have a team like PITT.....great defence and running game and one of the best QB that makes plays. Maybe we're on our way......I hope so anyway.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.
Hey Junc - you reading?

6-10 isn't meant to be disrespectful. It is a realistic goal with a young QB and first time HC. It's means you are playing your young guys and letting them develop through the growing pains, something the Steelers never do which I can't stand. I'd rather role the dice with our second round CB Brown then play William Gay. With Buffalo getting much better, the Pats being who they are and the Jets competitive it will be tough to break .500. But that is good because then you pick top ten again and assuming Tannehill is for real, you should be stocked with talent and ready to really make some noise.
