Mingo-even with great talent around him, he didn't produce much at all.
Vaccaro-overrated. he makes an art out of whiffing.

Even if Bill Belichick was getting an atomic wedgie, his face would look exactly the same.
I know this is more than one but...
Austin, Mingo, Patterson and Vaccaro.
I think Mingo is a better athlete than football player.
Patterson is not proven enough IMO and he catches the ball with his body the majority of the time.
This is a deep safety draft and I don't see Vacarro being that much better to warrant such a higher pick compared to the others.
I want a wide out compared to a slot receiver. Austin is a weapon.. no doubt about it and he could create various match up problems but I really think we need a outside receiver.
Tomlin: Let's unleash hell and "mop the floor" with the competition.
I can only pick one?
It would be Jones.
Not that I know of, but I do know they have the following picks, 1.12, 2.42, 2.54, 3.77, 3.82, 4.111 and 5.146 and they signed Mike Wallace, so to me it looks like they're trying to make a splash. With picks 1.12 and 1.17, plus premium picks 3.77 and 3.82 and Wallace they could really get the fan base excited. I just think at this point the Dolphins are looking to really be a force in this draft, 2 first round picks and 2 third round picks, plus Wallace could do the trick. The Steelers get what many believe would be the best scenario and that is a lot of picks in the second and third rounds where the talent isn't that different from the talent at the mid-first and later.

Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
Patterson probably tops the list for me, followed closely by Lacy. Was not a fan of Patterson initially, and the article below makes me like the pick even less:

I know no one seems to like Patterson, but I saw him play against NC State and he couldn't be covered. He took one of the best corners in the draft to school. I have no idea how good he'll be. But his potential is thru the roof. I bet Tomlin loves him.
Patterson scores an 11 & Autin scores a 7 on Wonderlic.
BTW...Past Wonderlic scores the article left out:
Morris Claiborne 4
AJ Green 10
Patrick Peterson 9
Frank Gore 6
Chris Johnson 10
Hakeem Nicks 11
Randy Moss 12
Percy Harvin 12
Ray Lewis 13
In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:
TCFCLTC-
