Dulac: Steelers want to draft Texas A&M WR Mike Evans

[squidkid]

How has that worked out for them over the years?

and how has the drafting been since tomlin took over?

[feltdizz]

care to break it down then (like i did)

who's a bigger question mark coming into next year then wheaton/cotch at WR2


are you guys forgetting that antonio brown is 180 Lbs soak and wet? what does the WR position look like if he gets hurt and misses a few games???
wheaton, cotch and moye/brown?

seriously??????

What happens if Bell goes down?

What happens if Miler goes down?

What happens if Jarvis goes down and Worilds is gone?

What happens if Heyward goes down?

Ike is 35, expensive and he was HORRIBLE last year...

Cotch/Wheaton is fine as a WR2 this year... we have more pressing needs.

Start a thread on it.... the drafting of WR's has been great with Tomlin.

[K Train]

Drafting overall under tomlins has been good. 2008 and 2009 were abortions of draft classes for most teams, not just the steelers

wheaton 3
brown 6
clemons 7
sanders 3
brown* 6
wallace* 3
sweed 2
baker 7

It is.. especially when you think about who we had on the roster at WR when Tomlin arrived.

[squidkid]

you mean hines ward, santonio holmes, nate washington and cedric wilson?
yup, that group is nowhere as good as good as the group tomlin put on the field

I agree. That group isn't as good.

I never said nowhere as good but the WRs Tomlin has drafted outside of sweed have been impressive.

Holmes, Ward, Wallace was better...

Ward, Wallace, Sanders, Brown was even better...

Brown, Sanders, Cotch, Wheaton was good...

Brown, Cotch, Wheaton and whoever we draft this year will be pretty good.

[feltdizz]

I agree. That group isn't as good.

we replaced each WR with something better IMO...

Only problem was Sweed and we quickly yanked him for Wallace.

[QUOTE=feltdizz;593606]I never said nowhere as good but the WRs Tomlin has drafted outside of sweed have been impressive.

Holmes, Ward, Wallace was better... not drafted by tomlin

Ward, Wallace, Sanders, Brown was even better... not drafted by tomlin plus brown was a non factor with 16 total catches

Brown, Sanders, Cotch, Wheaton was good... not drafted by tomlin plus wheaton was a non factore with 6 catches

Brown, Cotch, Wheaton and whoever we draft this year will be pretty good.... not drafted by tomlin

so based on that you have to pick brown, sanders and wheaton in 2013 to be great or wallace, sanders and brown's 16 catches to be much greater than ward. holmes and washington that cowher stuck tomlin with when tomlin took over

I can't understand what you are trying to say. Cedric wasn't drafted by Cowher but you used him in your initial question but Cotch can't be used? OK, that makes sense.

I don't "HAVE" to pick anything... we are talking about drafting WR's. Tomlin has drafted well. Sanders started day 1. Wallace was a beast, Brown has a jersey in Canton and was a monster last year.

Ward had 15 catches his rookie year and we see how he turned out..
Brown had 16 his first year and we see what he has blossomed into in his first year as a #1.

[Oviedo]

Completely agree. Washington and Wilson were nothing.

[feltdizz]

Completely agree. Washington and Wilson were nothing.

Washington took unnecessary heat for a few drops...

Wilson was trash and wasn't even drafted by Cowher.. Cotch was a much better pick up in FA. Wilson was also recently arrested for having someone else take a teachers exam test for him.

Why would Dulac print this? If it is true, the Steelers would surely never trust him with sensitive information or at practices again. The Steelers would never want to tip their hand. Or, perhaps, Dulac is distributing false information for the Steelers.
