    Travis Freeney, OLB

    Didn't someone on here want this guy? Well, we got him! Glad to see linebacker being filled now. I would like to see Curt Maggitt get signed if he's a UDFA

        He plays a lot like JARVIS JONES with real speed due to his great pursuit ability.

        Not exactly sure where he fits in on our DEFENSE other than SHAZIERS spot. Same with our 7b pick.

          They are 6th and 7th round depth LB's. They play on special teams. Then fill in on defense as needed if starters get hurt.
          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.

            He doesn't play like Jones if he plays with "real speed"

              I had him in my mock as my last pick, the Steelers "reached" to take him where they took him.

                He should get a shot making his mark as a special team guy with us loosing a few lb's to free agency. To play olb he'll need to set an edge. So getting stronger will have to be the goal. Got the speed to run plays down. Tools to work with but in the late 6th could be a nice value.

                  I've read conflicting reports...one says that he's weak against the run while another says that PFF rated him at a 9.9 run stop percentage, which was top 5 for edge defenders...along with 17.5 tackles for loss and 8 sacks....
                  Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

                    Really don't know much about him, but he looks like a good ST player to start...

                      I would think 10lbs would be easy to put on maybe more and I wonder with him being a converted safety if the option to move him to ILB if needed. No reason I see that with 10lbs extra he can't play right along side of Shazier. Not sure he can ever get strong enough to play base OLB. But love the upside.
                      Just for squiddy he is a steal and future HOF player just like AB! 6rd for the win!

                        He is a mature, 5 years removed from high school, athletic specimen. I'd say adding ten isn't going to be easy for his body type.

                        We got ourselves a better Spence for special teams. Maybe i should say Garvin. Time will tell if he can help in jam mid game on the outside the way Garvin contributed a little mid games in sub packages when needed (although inside). Low pick and better already imo. Hard to go wrong with that.

                          I'd really like this pick, except for he's got two bad shoulders.

                            Made this mistake the other day, myself... No R in his name... it's FEENEY... see it in the thread title so had to point it out...

                            Get him in the gym with Deebo and he'll add 10... and he's got a year to do it because at this point, he's depth...

                              Apparently the Steelers tried to trade back up in 5th to take him as they had a higher grade on him. At 6'4" he could put on 20 lbs in his sleep. He'll put 10 pounds on by camp. He ran 4.41 at his pro day and was a combine darling running 4.5 forty and 40 inch vertical with 10'10" long jump.

                              [url]http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2620495-travis-feeneys-draft-stock-rising-fast-after-blowing-up-nfl-combine[/url]

                              He is the exact kind of guy you want to take to develop. He was arguably the most athletic LB in the draft. I have a feeling Jones is as good as gone. This kid will be the reason they can afford that.

                              If he played for USC or came from SEC he'd have been a 2nd round pick like Su'a Cravens who is as close to a carbon copy as Feeney as you can imagine. You can't account for the stupidity of 80% of F.O. in the NFL that would let him fall like that. Highlight reel.
