I had no strong feelings about the AB pick because IT WAS A SIXTH ROUND PICK and those are always long shots so I didn't really care or know anything about him. So you are WRONG. Now, wasting 3rd and 4th round picks is far more disturbing, on a team with so many holes. You can't F--k around with a team this depleted; you need to make shrewd picks at least 1-4. They haven't.
Neither of those two have done much since they have been in Pittsburgh. Bryant has the bigger upside. One gets cut and Bryant makes the squad.
I agree with you that he is not a shoe-in to make the roster let alone become a successful NFL WR for us. And while it is said he can't catch (from what I've seen, he's got Mike Wallace-type ball skills--over the shoulder catcher as opposed to a hands-catcher), and he probably runs routes like Wallace too (i.e. not very good), he isn't "stiff". McShay was comparing his ranginess and hips to AJ Green.
I don't understand why? He was chased into the draft because under-class-man were starting to get the balls that were being thrown his way, to them instead. He has top-end speed....and, that's it. He double clutches a lot of balls, that should have been caught cleanly. He runs sloppy routes. He is unfocused. He will not find himself open on the NFL level. And he celebrates too much after simply making a 1st down. Pgh isn't into that kind of player.
sick beats: are you just regurgitating what you've read somewhere or did you actually see him play three or four games?
