Did we just draft another player to play out of his postion?

[feltdizz]

I could have sworn that I heard Goodell say....

With the 15th pick of the 2014 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers select: Vernon Gholston

well that explains everything....

you are crazy.

[steelz09]

Vernon Gholston was a workout warrior...

Shazier was the Buckeyes' leading tackler and has recorded 40+ TfL over the last two seasons...

Shazier played multiple positions for the Buckeyes, inside, outside and even as an edge rusher at times...

He will be a good player for us...I feel bad that some of you don't like the pick...I believe that he will prove you wrong...

If I remember correctly, Gholston broke the OSU season sack record... It's not like he didn't have any production.

When he made the announcement, I screamed out "Noooooooooooooooooooooooo" and the whole sports bar heard me. I never even considered this pick as a possibility. Oh, but the guy ran a fast 40, so that's all that matters.

And then what happened?

[steelz09]

And then what happened?

He tested off the charts.... as did Shazier..... got over drafted by the Jets.... and FLAMED OUT. He's currently a FA after already being on 3 different teams that didn't want him. A huge bust!

People critique Alabama LBs but Ohio State LBs haven't exactly been a staple of success.

Again, stop whining...You sound like little girls.
If it doesnt pan out, then whine.
Then your whines will be justified.
What does Miami in the snow last year have to do with this year?
They just picked a defender with the 1st pick you maroons.

Shazier was FIRST TEAM ALL-AMERICAN!!!!!!!!!!! Not a workout warrior.

Quit trying to tell us what to do. Are you our dad? If we don't like the pick it is our right to say so. This is a message board for "Pete's sake." We are SUPPOSED to express our opinion. Stop trying to tell others what to or not to express. That mentality is retarded.

And in 3 years he might finally learn the LeBoo system.

There you go SKL adding in facts and being rationale when blind emotional rage is being used. If Shazier becomes David we just hit a homerun.

Yes it's rational and logical to use one scouts comparison as some sort of gauge to a players ability. Excellent.
