    Dicky L has a few draft picks to work with this year over at steelers south. So I wonder how many rookie's start there? There D was not good last year from what I heard. Lol Don't watch any of there games but maybe some highlights. Let's see if Ovi's thought that rookies don't start for Dicky's defense is true. I agree with Cap. Rookies don't start on good defense's with many pro bowl top players. Even if fans don't like certain players or schemes.
    All the draft prospects over grading by fans show the same disconnect from fan and coaches evaluation of current players.

      My wife is from Nashville and my brother in law is a huge titans fan. We were talking about this not long ago. He doesn't expect any changes because of how much their defense improved from the year before. Dodd may get some playing time as a rookie, but other than that, neither of us see anyone really making an impact.

        I think Penn State's Austin Johnson would be an upgrade on Al Woods as their starting NT. Kevin Dodd will likely be a situation pass rusher for them, since they already have Brian Orakpo and Derrick Morgan as their starters. On offense, Conklin should start at RT and Derrick Henry will split carries with DeMarco Murray.
        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.
