Round 3b-Peyton Wilson

[Joel Buchsbaum]

definitely an A grade so far

WRONG. It's a A+

Someone said they view him as a one contract guy and one contract with 1st round talent is better than 2 from ?average? talent.

Basically says to me that they are worried about Holcomb and they know Robinson is not the answer

Probably the best description of him. A short term solution to a problem position. Reload in a season or two. If he didn't have the injury history the Steelers don't even get a sniff of the guy. One big hit on D. Henry and he could be done.

(last I read, Holcomb is pretty much being written off for this season...)

I like this pick. While I never heard of him until the combine the clips of game tape sold me. I think he has the range in pass protection that we have lacked at LB.

and we have a history of finding white LBers who ball out.. j/k but true.

When it comes to athleticism and talent he is a first round pick. To fall to 3b tells you how significant his injury history is. This is the type of pick that sounds amazing on paper because you see the 40 time, you see the tape. You hear from opposing coaches that he is just a beast to play against. But availability is the best ability. Based on pure talent I had Edgerrin Cooper ahead of him but not by much. It?s the injury history that really concerns me. If the Steelers can find creative ways to use him and keep him healthy then this could turn out to be the steal of the draft. But, I?m not holding my breathe on that one.

Absolutely killing it. It reminds me of one of those mock drafts you get and say to yourself "yeah, right...that will never happen".

It actually happened.

LOL, Wilson was a considered by most to be the best LB in the draft, his injuries were the only reason he fell so far.

I would suggest he is the extreme opposite of Robinson. More fast than strong, very skilled at reading the offense. Best case scenario, they are complementary. I look at them filling different down/distance needs.

He has been healthy with no issues the last two years

read him talking about “managing his body”

[Joel Buchsbaum]

I like him a lot. Great value in round three.

[whatever]

I swear you liked this draft like an hour ago

I did and overall still do. I think a mistake was made with 3b.

Having a linebacker that can cover a TE? Oh my goodness

Can't believe it. We're about 10 years too late to cover Rob Gronkowski. ��
