Kiper's Mock 4.0

[Oviedo]

Couldn't have said it better myself:


17
Tyler Eifert *
Pittsburgh Steelers (8-


COLLEGE: Notre Dame
AGE: 22
HT: 6-6
WT: 250
POS: TE


Analysis: Really like this fit. Eifert gives the Steelers a different kind of matchup headache for defenses -- one that doesn't directly replace Mike Wallace, but adds a new dimension to the offense. In fact, he might do more to offset the loss of Wallace than another speed threat would because he allows them to diversify. Eifert has the speed to stretch the seam and also develop routes to the edges, and can't be effectively covered by anybody. He's too tall for corners and safeties, too fast for linebackers.

I wouldn't mind the pick at all.

You have to be careful, Art "The Meddler" Rooney and the golf coach wouldn't know what to do with a play making tight end, be careful what you ask for.

he runs .1 faster than Jarvis(4.8 vs 4.9)... but, he has the speed to stretch the seam and Jarvis is a turtle... wow... rich.

Oh yea... ANOTHER Eifert thread? Jeez!

why would anyone want to draft a TE in Round 1 when we just re-signed Matt Spaeth and David Johnson?

How about Johnson is worthless and Spaeth is just average and the best TE we probably ever had is 30 years old and coming off a major knee injury and won't likely be able to start the 2013 season on the active roster.

Eifert is your future at TE which is becoming a more important position in the pass first NFL

Hope that helped

Who is our future ILB, FS, SS, RB, #1 WR, and #1/#2 CB?

Who is our future ILB, FS, SS, RB, #1 WR, and #1/#2 CB?

that is a great question because as of right now the answers are:

Stevenson Sylvester, Robert Golden, Damon Cromartie-Smith, Jonathan Dwyer, Antonio Brown, and Cortez Allen/Willie Gay.

Thanks! That makes me feel a whole lot better

With those names .... we are looking at a DYNASTY IN THE MAKING. Woohoo!
