draft chat?

Outrageous athlete. But they need help immediately. This guy isn't ready for the NFL. I think long term he could really develop but it's a tough pick with the current secondary situation.

[steeler_george]

i think he will be good

[steeler_george]

he was rising slowly up the board right behind jackson

[SteelBucks]

He is a project but is much more physical than Jackson. We really didn't have much of a choice. When Gay is your best DB you are forced to reach.

Should have traded down then and get the pick they lost in the scoobie debacle. Burns at #25 is mind blowing.

I'm not a big fan. But I will say that Burns is underrated. He has great upside. I'll also say he's as underrated as Ramsay and Hargreaves are overrated. I sense bust on those two.

My biggest disappointment is the Steelers succumbed to drafting a corner when they should not have. There were many better players on my board. But I am in my living room. Now I just hope the Steelers get the last laugh. They sure as hell got their pick in super fast.

You think Jalen Ramsay is overrated? I think he might be the best player in this draft class.

Now we gave an AB on both sides of the ball. Hopefully this one is as successful as the the first. I guess they think AB can cover AB. I was hoping for th Andrew Billings AB, but I figure the FO knows what they are doing.

Once Jackson 3 was gone I immediately started thinking Billings but......

Why not grab K Fuller?

I do think Ramsay is overrated. Yup. I didn't at pone point.Hey, there have been many stud CB in the last 5 years that were high picks that were dudds. I think he may be one of them. The Safeties were my desire. Both studs imo. But they were both gone. Steelers like Burns that is for sure. They sent Goodfail to the podium in a blink. I think a tonne of these first rounders are overrated. I think there will be better players coming out of the second and third rounder on a value basis.

They must be concerned about the injury.

[NorthCoast]

Not to give anyone heartburn, but what DB pick in the last 5 yrs makes you think the Steelers know what they are doing at that position?

Pick #1 is supposed to be as close to a can't miss as you can possibly make it. Is there anyone in the football world that believes that is the case for Burns??

[winwithd]

What are the chances they get Billings in the second round? Or another outstanding DL? Several still out there, right?

[SteelerOfDeVille]

Once Jackson 3 was gone I immediately started thinking Billings but......

agreed...

what DB pick in the last 5 yrs makes you think the Steelers know what they are doing at that position?

It had been almost 20 years since they last took a CB in the 1st (Chad Scott, 97)... I think they've done OK without one... very disappointed in the pick.

[SteelerOfDeVille]

admitting I find it humorous how many people disliked the NT idea - and NOW, even more people are disappointed about Burns... I read this board sometimes and swear it's like talking to my wife.

[BradshawsHairdresser]

Lots of good players remaining, including:

Myles Jack
Andrew Billings
Reggie Ragland
A'Shawn Robinson
Jonathan Allen
Kevin Dodd
Emmanuel Ogbah
Jarran Reed
Mackenzie Alexander
Noah Spence
Tre'Davious White
Kamalei Correa
S'ua Cravens
Vonn Bell
Will Fuller
Austin Johnson
TJ Green
Darian Thompson


Chances are good that at least one of them will be there when the Steelers pick in round 2.

What happened to Myles Jack? The videos I saw of this guy were crazy good.
