Early offseason break down

[Oviedo]

Why do people read things that are not there? I didn't say anything about cutting ties with Wheaton. I said bring in some competition for the slot.

Need to bring in competition for the #2 TE more than we do for the #3 or #4 WR. I'm really concerned with how slow and increasingly inconsistent Heath Miller looked this season.

I remember hearing that the team was high on Branchflower, hopefully he can be more than Spaeth.

Agree completely. Feels like Shawn is underselling wheaton here. He is a pretty damn good player who is still emerging. Someone may eventually sign him away from us as a #2. I'm certainly happy with his trajectory so far

TE is a bigger need than most think, IMO. I believe heath is very close to being done and may be already

$$$$$$ Unfortunately the previous two drafts had very good TEs to develop and we passed. This one is weak.

[Eddie Spaghetti]

I would still not have selected either of those guys in the 1st like you wanted. Neither were skilled enough to go that high, IMO.

Where did Travis kelce go? 4th? That's the kid of guy we need to find

As you can see in my mock you can do both. I assume the Steelers will as well.

He will have to show me something more for me to sign up on the Wheaton bandwagon. Underselling? Maybe…but I would love to see a consistent chain mover not named Brown on this squad.

I've seen some of that already. I believe he has well above average hands and runs good routes, exactly what you want in this offense. As a 3rd rounder, he is playing well, IMO.

Also showed some toughness the other night. He took a major league shot and was able to get up. That impressed me

I suppose I'm looking for the next Welker.

[SteelerMaine83]

I suppose I'm looking for the next Welker.

The next Welker is a small, slow 40 (but with quicks) guy with good hands, good route running ability and no fear. Those guys are 6-UDFA guys. Put Antonio Brown in the Combine this year and he'll end up being a 3rd rounder or lower. Small and not 4.4 doesn't sell. Welker (and Brown) . are football players. Competition is good everyone who's up for it. Someone to compete with Wheaton only makes us better, but I like Wheaton okay.

I agree with this…the guy last year who I felt had this potential was Abbrederis. Of course his knee injury in camp put a nix to that. It's a tough, hard nosed, fast twitch guy who runs sharp routes and has a good head. If that guy exists in this draft…I want him. And let him and Wheaton fight it out in camp.

Nothing wrong with Wheatons game. We barely have enough footballs to go around as it is...

Archer and Wheaton will continue to get touches whether people like it or not.

[flippy]

We have so many needs, I really think we just have to go BPA and take the guys that will make the team better regardless of position.

If there is a stud CB, NT, OLB, T, TE, S when we pick, I think we take him. I lean toward going heavy on D. It'll be interesting to see what we do in FA first. There's a lot of holes to fill.

They showed the three B's during the game. Ben, Brown and Bell with all the yards they have amassed. My first thought was, " but the offense settles for field goals. "

[Iron City Inc.]

Penn State TE Jesse James has declared. He is legit 6 6 255 and recorded 38 396 3 this year. Only a junior who wont turn 21 until June. Better receiver then blocker. Decent speed and I can't wait to see him test prior to the draft. Seen him play a few times and not sure how high he will be rated but he is a day 3 prospect in my opinion perhaps a 5th rounder if I had put a number on it. Not sure where Kiper and company will have him but as a day three flyer if we miss out on the OSU te he has some skills to work with.
Day three sleeper with some upside.

The last game without Bell?
