At his pro day his best 40 was 4.9. holy Tao ran 4.8. They also said he doesn't train real hard. I don't want him at 1.17. Give me one of the stud guards.

I'm hoping teams trade up ahead of us for players like Patterson, Barkley, etc. and a gnarley OT like Lane Johnson falls to 17.@_Hellgrammite -
Play-makers please. Wides, running backs, corners, etc.Comment

A OLB is not a play maker? Ask James how that interception in the super bowl was? Ask Woodley about the sack at the end of the same superbowl. Plus in the first it should go BPA (for the Steelers) PERIOD!
Do I want this kid? Not so sure. Looks like he has huge bust potential.
Also as it is most times Crash, you keep beating the SAME drum in every thread. Could you add some thoughts about Jones? Why he is a good or bad pick?Comment

James made that play on his own, he was supposed to blitz, recognized the play from an earlier game, and freelanced it.A OLB is not a play maker? Ask James how that interception in the super bowl was?
Jones is slow, we also don't have the time to wait for him to pay his dues and "learn the system" for 3 years (as if rushing the QB takes some sort of mensa member).
This draft should be all about offense. If they pick any defense? I pick corners and safeties.
Spreading teams out is the future of this league. Goodell's rules are making that happen. Need guys who can cover.
Adapt or die.Comment

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.Comment

I bet Harrison is not very 40 fast either. You also still need to rush the QB and stop the run. The vikings did ok just running the ball last year. But I do see your point. But you can not let the defense die.Comment

Is his splits and agility drills posted? He plays fast on tape. Besides his health, the only concern I had was about his playing strength. He doesn't have the frame to add more bulk and if he does...Does his agility decline.Comment

It would be a surprise to me if the Steelers did draft him even if he was there.Comment

It was a big play. But James is an OLB. Their job is to rush the quarterback. LB's like Timmons, who can play the run, and cover within 10 yards of the LOS in the middle and the flats are the future of this league. I think OLB rushers like James and Woodley are going to become afterthoughts because of the rules Goodell wants. Teams are going to ditch the 3-4 scheme and go back to the 4-3. You can add more players in the secondary to cover the spread offenses with multiple receiver sets and try to get pressure from the DL.
Tomlin IMO will install his Tampa Two scheme the minute LeBeau is out the door.
You guys need to understand that Goodell is changing the game. Things that occurred in 2008 will feel like it was 30 years ago by the time he's done.Comment
