heath was picked 31st.
I'm not convinced eifert is worth 1:17. This offense could use some explosiveness. Eifert doesn't bring that, while a prospect like cordarelle patterson does and could very well excel in haleys offense that gets the ball into the hands of the WR quickly.
it won't be the end of the world if we don't wind up with eifert as it seems some here believe.

Just because someone is fast doesn't make him an all world receiver, catching the ball and good route running supercedes speed, if you can't be consistent in those area's what good is the speed?
Patterson most likely will be picked before we select and as I said in the past the Steelers most likely won't pick Eifert anyway so no worries for those who prefer another position. Personally I would rather have a top CB in round one and hope a player like Eifert would drop to round two which won't happen, he might get picked before we select so it won't matter much.
Looking at our offense, I believe Heath Miller was the most consistent player since he's been here on two fronts, reliable pass catcher and scoring. I would think having two Heath Miller type players could be a benefit to our offense, now if there is a WR out there who can make that critical catch and score I'm not opposed to that either, consistency matters in my book.
Btw, A Trufant or Rhodes at CB would be an appealing pick to most Steelers fans, think we could have common ground with a pick like that?

Plus Eifert would be more of a weapon in the Red Zone which is what everyone complains about this offense lacking the most in. Down close like that he would be a better option than another speedy, run after the catch WR.
I fully endorse picking up Pitt's Shanahan as a undrafted FA. There is something there that we could build on.

There was an argument put forward about drafting a 1st round NT & why, given that Hampton played less snaps than the #3 CB last season, it would be a bad investment of a 1st round pick.
How many catches were made by the #2 TE last season under Haley?
Does that justify a 1st round selection?
It's funny that posters are now believing that Haley is a big user of 2 TE's. Haley also incorporates a FB. Arians NEVER used a FB, and just about ALWAYS used 2 TE's, yet there was very rarely a call out for the Steelers to draft a TE while Arians was here. Haley's use of a 2nd TE is vastly over stated.
Funny.
The people that are trying to make the world worse never take a day off, why should I?
Light up the darkness.
Not many when you have a Paulson as your 2nd.TE. Of course your not going to see many catches if you don't have the weapon. Arians didn't use the TE in his offense much except for blocking, with Haley we seen Heath have one of his best years as a Steeler check it out.
People sell Paulsen short- possibly because he was a 7th round pick last year.
Paulsen 40 Yard- 4.62 20 Yard- 2.69 10 Yard- 1.68
Eifert 40 Yard- 4.65 20 Yard- 2.69 10 Yard- 1.65
Paulson Bench- 21 Reps
Eifert Bench- 22 Reps
Paulson Vertical- 33"
Eifert Vertical- 35.5"
Paulson Broad Jump- 9'05"
Eifert Broad Jump- 9'11"
Paulson 20 Yard Shuttle- 4.25
Eifert 20 Yard Shuttle- 4.32
Paulson 3 Cone- 7.09
Eifert 3 Cone- 6.92
Paulson's Last College Year Production- 30 Catches, 428 yards, 6 TD's
Eifert's Last College Year Production- 50 catches, 685 yards, 4 TD's
Reckon Paulson will be just fine, to be honest.
