Terrell Edmunds???

Are you F%^king serious?

Are you F%^king serious?


Great player. You are going to be surprised how soon and how much he contributes. I liked him better than Reid

[Donnieboy]

I like him however let's be clear here, Burnett and Davis are the starters next year. How does Edmunds get the Steelers over the hump this coming season?

Sorry he won't see much of the field next year. Burnett and Davis are ahead of him.

The Steelers play 60% of the time in a sub package defense...I could see them playing more dime with Hilton and Edmunds...

[Oviedo]

Yep. Not just base defense. Edmunds will be on the field

[NorthCoast]

Sorry he won't see much of the field next year. Burnett and Davis are ahead of him.May I remind you that Burnett has only had 2 complete seasons in the 8 that he has played.... very likely the backups will play this season.

[Starlifter]

this is why I don't waste time doing mocks. the steelers have always marched to their own music. I'm happy with a Safety and Colbert hits far more often than he misses. Time will tell!

[SS Laser]

I thought it would be a shocking pick but by position not the player. Will see how this one works out.

[SteelBucks]

He’ll play in the nickel/dime. We may have someone that can finally cover a TE.

[Steel Maniac]

Since Troy retired, who has Colbert hit on in the draft in regards to the secondary?

was he BPA?

[pittpete]

Actually Colbert just said it was more like 70%...
Guess we have to wait and see how it turns out but this kid comes from great genes.

[Ernie]

Im okay with the position pick.. hope to learn more about the player

[RuthlessBurgher]

was he BPA?

BPA was either OLB Harold Landry or OG Will Hernandez. Both could be considered BPA at a position of need, since Bud Dupree's 5th year option for 2019 could still be pulled if he doesn't progress significantly in 2018 (and you can never have too many pass rushers), and our current LG Ramon Foster is 32 years old and entering the final year of his contract.

[phillyesq]

This seems like a total boom or bust pick. I love his athleticism. But he also seems a bit raw. Reminds me of Bud Dupree at safety in that he's a guy who looks the part but isn't refined.

I'm fine with the Steelers not taking Reid or Bates - neither guy really excited me.

[Shawn]

Landry or Jackson were the clear picks.

[squidkid]

picked a round or 2 early by most draft sites.
even if he turns out to be good, it looks like he could have been had much later.

Does this mean you'll shut up about it now? Certainly not.

And by the way, where are all of the posters automatically proclaiming our pick the steal of the draft, future All Pro, etc.? You claim that the majority of the posters on this site do that with every pick we make.

my day 1 draft grade is an A+++++

He was on Colbert’s board

[Prowler]

Edmunds was a horrible pick, IMO. We reached and ended up with a 3rd rounder in the first. The one positive is he can't be any worse than Mike Mitchell or can he? With our crappy track record for drafting players in the secondary this pick has bust written all over it. Hopefully this in the box Safety can at least cover a TE like the scouting reports claim. Other than that I can't possibly see how this pick gets us closer to the SB, sadly.

I know how you feel. But we are going to have to give him a wait & see approach.

[Eddie Spaghetti]

i don't think it's a terrible pick, however it is a reach

would have preferred Landry at that spot for sure but Edmunds has alot of upside

[Steel Maniac]

Yeah, I was thinking Guice and then Landry at that point but we are gonna have to wait and see.

[The Man of Steel]

Man. I really hate this pick.

[Sager]

I love it. I bet he contributes to the team this year as well. Think Deone Bucannon in Arizona. Just like Bucannon's situation, he's not going to trump any of the safeties already on the roster. But instead he will be used in the money linebacker role in nickel and dime situations. And THAT is the biggest weakness in the team right now: having that linebacker who can be used in pass coverage to cover TEs or pass-catching RBs, amd still be responsible up in the box.

Bottom line, all the LBs we were hoping for gone before we picked. But Terrell can still be that $ linebacker which is what we really needed anyway. Think of it- Bostic/Vincenzo will still play the base 3-4 ILBs to stop the run, but on those nickel and dime plays Edmunds will switch in with one of them in the $LB role and help us have a pass coverage linebacker too. And in a few years he can take over for Burnett at SS when we get an everything ILB again (Shazier?).

I give this an A grade Cotton.

[feltdizz]

Why was he at the draft if he was projected as a 3rd rounder?

[Ernie]

Why was he at the draft if he was projected as a 3rd rounder?

I saw projections of a late 1st-3rd.

[Slapstick]

Clearly, CLEARLY, this was the steal of the draft. He was OBVIOUSLY the Best Player Available AND at a position of need. Sports writers should just put his name down now on all of their All-Pro ballots for the next decade. Also, on his way to Pittsburgh, he should have a brief layover at CAK so that he can be measured for his gold jacket before the team introduces him.

Or...

Like the sensible people most of us are, we could see how he plays for the Steelers...

[Slapstick]

I saw projections of a late 1st-3rd.

That’s what I saw as well...

[Ernie]

Just saw where Edmunds was ranked as the #4 Safety in the draft (Walterfootball). Only safety ranked ahead of him that was not off the board when the Steelers picked was Harrison. Perhaps Edmunds is a better fit for us scheme wise...and is a better character guy then Harrison. Based on the rankings... I'm fine with the pick. Hopefully we will land a 2nd round talent with one of our 2-3rd round picks to make up for it.

[feltdizz]

I saw projections of a late 1st-3rd.

Thanks. I don’t know anything about him. Hopefully he can contribute this year in sub packages. VTech usually has ball hawking secondary players.

The pick is growing on me. Honestly, I didn't know a ton about the guy. I knew he had a late second, early third round grade by most scouts. But, reading about his possible role means he sees the field early. He's physical, twitchy, and can play multiple positions. A Steelers type pick.

Off the ledge now. That is good because we need you frosty for the rest of the draft. Heck it's only round 1 in the books. Besides I like Griffin n Scarborough in your sig a lot so things may end up excellent overall. I have to admit I wasn't feeling good myself after the Bryant trade but the trade was probably for the best.

[Slapstick]

It was reported that some NFL scouts loved Edmunds...It would seem that Colbert was one of them...

[Ghost]

I think this kid gets on the field a lot more than people expect. You'll see him out there with 3 safeties on the field a lot - Edmunds, Davis, and the newly signed Burnett. VA Tech used this kid in both safety positions, as a linebacker and was fast/good enough to play scout team corner. 4.47 in the 40. Dad played in the NFL. Brother is a RB for the Saints. And of course his other brother just got drafted. He's got a lot of football knowledge and understanding of what it takes (kind of like Watt) to make it.


Here's some highlights (in one he strips the ball carrier and causes a fumble so he's already better than Dupree)

I read the Steelers thoughts on Edmunds and how they plan on using him. I pulled up some film and felt better. I'm still not crazy about the pick, but with Evans off the board...going with a safety who can play multiple positions including ILB in pass situations makes much sense.

[JUST-PLAIN-NASTY]

They like to run their Big Nickel a lot..3 safeties. They feel Edmunds is the most physical S remaining to balance with coverage. Best Fit. I would agree with that on remaining S.

I had him in 2nd because I did some homework. Reid was good at both but box wasn't that high. Harrison very good in box coverage needed work. Bates very good coverage good open field tackler but would struggle close to LOS. I think Edmonds balances out best at all. His youth, size, & athleticism gives him high ceiling. Not surprised position or player...Just graded higher to Steelers than I thought. Interviews & workouts always can have impact on that & we don't have that info. Same exact scenario I had on Watt last year...That looks to be doing ok.

[Sword]

Solid and a safe pick... we need major help in Defense...this will help...

The trading of Bryant was a totally good move. Look, only so many guys can touch the ball. When juju made this team, you knew then that Bryant wasn’t long term. So why let him walk for nothing?
Remember also, Eli Rogers is going to also be brought back and he’s right on schedule from his injury.

We are going to do damage in that third round; that’s where the success of our draft will be determined.

[Steelerphile]

I think the pick clearly addresses a great need. They need speed, toughness and athleticism in the safety position. Up the middle so to speak. Can address the deficiencies, sometimes exposed, particularly by Jacksonville. As for the belief that he was overdrafted, I think you have to take into consideration that he came out as a junior after playing an injury-plagued season. Had he been fully healthy, he may have been rated one of the best safeties.

I hate to allude to any of 'Kid's" jargon such as "steal of the draft", but that is one way to get a better player than their draft projected position. By taking a tremendous athlete, with high character, and great bloodlines when they are competing with an injury, which would suppress their production. I think they got Heath Miller later than he would have been drafted because of his sports hernia. I think perhaps Cam Sutton dropped because he competed his senior year with an injury. There may be some other good examples.

So, me I feel good about the pick. His combine was super. I like the things he says in interviews. Time will tell of course.

[Oviedo]

It's so funny to read posts from some guys killing Edmunds before we see him play a down and they are the same ones who made excuses for Jarvis Jones for four years.

Edmunds will be very good and could be pushing Davis before the end of the season

[Steel Maniac]

I'm still not crazy about the pick, but with Evans off the board...going with a safety who can play multiple positions including ILB in pass situations makes much sense.

Yeah, we can see the logic in the thinking of management ; but what bothers people is that the common perception is that he could have been gotten in round 2 or 3. I will say that to have taken this guy where they took him most likely indicates they did a lot of film study on this one particular player; a lot. So you’ve got to feel good about the due diligence applied. We all want Edmonds to be successful.

it's what we/they do after a draft pick.

so many people say he was a 3rd rounder but he was at the draft for a reason. Some folks just can't handle seeing a guy picked that wasn't on their radar

[Slapstick]

Now you’re making stuff up...something is the water on PlanetSteelers...

[steeler_fan_in_t.o.]

Why was he at the draft if he was projected as a 3rd rounder?

His brother Tremaine was a top prospect and drafted 16th by the Bills.

[SteelBucks]

My only problem with the pick is I feel they “reached” for him. I thought he could have been had in the second round. Heck Edmunds himself was even surprised he got selected in the first round.

It’s nice they have three picks on Friday. See where they go from here.

[Northern_Blitz]

+1

I don't follow college at all, but after the pick it sounds like Edmunds is a guy who might be able to cover receiving TEs in sub packages this year.

I would be nice if we had someone on the roster who could at least slow Gronk down a bit.

Edmunds was in the green room in Dallas waiting to come out on stage...how could he have been surprised?

[Eddie Spaghetti]

because his brother was a projected top 15 pick

this pick was a reach, there's really no debating that

[SteelBucks]

They interviewed him after. He thought he was going to be a Day 2 pick.

Well, we can only hope Colbert & Tomlin know what there doing .

Boom........

[Eddie Spaghetti]

Well, we can only hope Colbert & Tomlin know what there doing .

if the coaches can develop his skillset, he could turn into a really nice player

[feltdizz]

and so he just lucked up and got drafted by us?

I think we picked him for for a reason and we shall see if it was a reach.

I didnt watch VTech much last year but they are notorious for having DB’s with sticky hands who are great tacklers.

I think he sees the field day 1 and hopefully he will be a good ball hawking safety.

I remember people were furious at the JuJu pick and he was the steal of the draft. We won’t know until he sees the field. It’s weird to call someone a reach this early.

[squidkid]

Boom........

that guy isnt credible. he says those things just to get clicks..........

[steeler_fan_in_t.o.]

Man, if you had given me 10 guesses when they were on the clock I would not have come close. The most I knew about him before I read the pick was that he was Tremaine's brother. I also wasn't overly fond of the position pick as I feel that unless they've lost faith in Davis (who did take a step backwards in his sophomore season) that two starting safeties are in place for the next 2-3 years. However, I always defer to the people whose job it is to evaluate the talent, meet them in person, personally work them out, and see how they would fit into their system. BTW That rule does not apply to the Browns who will always mess up the easiest two foot putt.

Using my past observations, this is what I think after looking online a bit...

1) For at least the last three years, the Steelers have gone out of their way to draft high character men who love football. Everything I read about Edmunds is that he is a great kid who grew up in a football family.

2) The Steelers find players who they love and are not willing to risk losing them. Even if they thought that conventional wisdom is that 1-28 is a reach, it would only take one out of 31 other teams to see what they saw and pick him before the Steelers second round pick, or move up to get him before the Steelers did. They would rather risk pundits thinking that they are reaching for a guy who they think will be great than risk getting scooped.

3) Especially on D, they love speed, athleticism, and position flexibility. This guy is a SS, FS, and sub package safety. However, I think most importantly to them, he is a third down hybrid ILB who can both support the run and the pass.

All three of these points I've made many times around the draft. I always take a wait-and-see approach rather than believing that my very amateur opinion comes close to the inside knowledge of the FO. That being said, my gut feeling on what the team is thinking on this pick is:

4) The Steelers matched up very well with the Pats last season until Gronk stepped it up and dominated the Steelers secondary - particularly Davis. I think that the Steelers see his size, speed, and fluid athleticism, and believe that he is who they can use to match up with Gronk. TE is a position that is evolving in the NFL as many teams are looking for an offensive weapon at the position. I think the team plans to use Edmunds as a TE stopper. Hope it works!!

[Captain Lemming]

So you’ve got to feel good about the due diligence applied. We all want Edmonds to be successful.

Correct.
Fact is the "projection" was wrong. If the Steelers thought him to be a late 1st round talent we have no idea if the were alone in that assessment do we?

We don't know he would be available later.

We get bent because of how pseudo experts slot people. For all we know he could we have been the next safety picked anyway had we passed.

[MeetJoeGreene]

apparently we did try to trade up to get evans for AL, but couldn't make it work.

[squidkid]

this is going to work out perfect for some and terrible for others.(as in who is right on their evaluation)
the steelers took a player in the first round that was labeled a second or third rounder by a vast majority of teams and draft gurus.
so, in a couple years(or less) they will either be geniuses or fools...............there will be gray area on this pick

[steelerkeylargo]

Two things I will say about this pick. 1 good 1 concern

1st (concern)-Edmunds was only 3rd team all ACC. Not 1st, not 2nd, 3rd!!! That is a red flag for me.

2nd (good)-I started hearing rumblings about a week ago that both Edmunds brothers would go 1st round. That more than 1 team thought of Terrell as a better pro than college player and he was rising up boards. I figured that would be a stretch and mid second was probably the ceiling. If he can be a Deone Buchanon type player, this pick will look great.

[Captain Lemming]

experts who said Blaine Gabbert was the truth...

experts who said they would retire from their gig if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a star in the NFL.

experts who had us drafting Josh Allen 2 months ago.

we just don't know. I hate draft mock gurus because they can basically say anything and they never have to eat crow when they are dead wrong.

[feltdizz]

You can say that about "draft gurus" true. You cannot know how "teams" evaluated him.

and it comes down to how a team feels a player will fit in their scheme.

[Buzz]

Edmunds pick shouldn't have been a total surprise. Steelers tried to get Jabrilll Peppers last year to fill a sort of hybrid role. I can only hope their evaluation was better with Edmunds than with Peppers. Guess this finally puts a wrap on Wilcox's Steelers career.

I didn't think late Edmunds would go until late 2nd/ early 3rd. But if the Steelers love him and use him right, could wind up being a good pick.

Like the OP said, this should put to rest the silly notion that the Steelers always take BPA.

IMO, we still need an ILB (or two), a pass-rushing OLB, a FS that can cover deep, a RB, a WR, and an OL to replace Hubbard. Oh, and depth at NT. So plenty of work to do these next couple of days.

Thank you for reminding me of that; totally slipped my mind how we did indeed try to go after peppers. And Edmunds resembles Peppers in style of play and body type.

Edmunds himself said he didn't expect to go until the 2-3 rounds. He was at the draft to support his brother who everyone knew was going in the first round. And your are again right in that we did not take the BPA regardless of position..we drafted for need area..period.

[Slapstick]

In the draft, do you draft who is thought the BPA now? Or do you draft who you think will be the best player in the future?

[birtikidis]

Why was he at the draft if he was projected as a 3rd rounder?
partially because his brother was projected as a top 20 pick. He was probably there to support him. Even he said when interviewed on ESPN that he was surprised by the pick

[Slapstick]

The “Relative Athletic Score” cards are also interesting...

[phillyesq]

The more I think about this pick, I like it. The last time an athletic first round pick caught me off guard, it was the guy that announced Edmunds. He wasn't what I was expecting, but I did hear buzz that he was being talked about as a late first rounder as the draft approached. And his athleticism is exciting. I didn't find either Reid or Bates that interesting - thought they were potentially solid, but didn't see them as difference makers. If - and it's a big question - Edmunds plays up to his athletic ability, he can be a difference maker.

[squidkid]

geezlouis, just except the fact that edmonds was a huge reach according to the vast majority of any person or publication.
that doesnt mean the steelers screwed up.
that doesn mean he is going to stink.
we now have a turd saying we draft for BPA in 3 years.....lol
your infatuation of trying to believe the steelers draft any different or any better or are any smarter than all the other nfl teams is ridiculous
quit trying to twist and turn a couple 'test' scores or sparq number to justify reaching for a player that was projected a round or 2 later.
hell, the kid himself said he wasnt going in the first and expected day 2
quit using late unsubstantiated 'buzz' rumors to justify it either.
the steelers chose him for a reason, a reason we will never know.
lets just hope he turns out

One of those guys (Wexell) said the Steelers were trying to move up to take Evans. They were packaging a couple picks, including the one the received for Bryant.

Boom...........................

geezlouis, just except the fact that edmonds was a huge reach according to the vast majority of any person or publication.
that doesnt mean the steelers screwed up.

Most of Steeler empire believes we reached. But if he pans out, it's not a reach. So the grade I'll give this pick is "incomplete". But if this kid isn't on the field in 60-70 percent of the snaps on defense by year's end, then I'll be one of the one's calling out Colbert and Tomlin. But I'm thinking he'll be a solid contributor by mid-season going forward. Hopefully sooner.

This is my favorite tweet about Terrell Edmunds. Look at the first 2 knuckleheads to respond to the original tweet. Hahahaha.... (also, looks like Edmunds was turning heads as the draft approached):

LMAO.. said with authority too.

Freaking idiots.

This is why I laugh at Pittsburgh press when they try to stir the pot. They are basically trolls looking for clicks most of the time.

Ron Cook had JH fitted for a SB ring before the Pats lost.

I refuse to watch Kiper and McShay. I enjoyed the NFLN broadcast. IMO, Harold Landry was BPA and he’s still out there. He’ll be gone early in rd 2.

[Steel Maniac]

Landry probably to the Browns

they could easily come away with landry and guice tonight

[steeler_george]

Two things I will say about this pick. 1 good 1 concern

1st (concern)-Edmunds was only 3rd team all ACC. Not 1st, not 2nd, 3rd!!! That is a red flag for me.

2nd (good)-I started hearing rumblings about a week ago that both Edmunds brothers would go 1st round. That more than 1 team thought of Terrell as a better pro than college player and he was rising up boards. I figured that would be a stretch and mid second was probably the ceiling. If he can be a Deone Buchanon type player, this pick will look great.

I like your input, but could of his play been down this year due to injury, and playing in an unorthodox position "hybrid LB/S" role.

Edmunds said shaz has already called him and offered any support he needs

it's becoming more and more clear that shazier is a special human being

I know he gets about 8 mil more or less this year but enough to set his life up. I’m happy about that.

[feltdizz]

Just read that Edmunds brother told him not to use the bathroom until the first round was over. He ignored him and ended up getting the call while in the restroom.

In addition to that, as a former Buckeye and current Steeler, he will always have opportunities within those communities...
