Combine Ramble

[Iron City Inc.]

Devin White just ran a 4.42

That's awesome n so is speed of Bush. Sweat also in the same time zone. Wow to all 3. Need it to cover guys like Metcalf or Fant. Even Burns at 4.56 @ 6'5 almost 250 is just impressing the heck out of me. There are 4 guys there who should be on the radar at 20.

The Steelers should look at LSU for their first rounder this year. Either Devin White ILB or Andraez (Greedy) Williams CB, hopefully one will be there.

Devin White's a no-brained for us if there. If he falls out of the top 10 and into the mid teens, it would be worth a trade up.

Depends on what it costs to move up and get him. I see real quality/depth at several positions on both sides of the ball... this is not a year to be "Reaching" if the costs are steep.

The LB crew at the combine looks very fast and athletic. Not sure where he is projected to go... but I really like the looks of that Tranquil kid from ND.

He is likely a day 3 guy. I would say 4th rounder. There is going to be good defensive value later in this draft.

Devin White probably won't be there but I also am very high on Williams. I would take him because he may be devalued a bit, an underclassmen who is coming out at the same time as likely top ten pick in White, from his school. Fits a big need.

White looked so impressive, smooth true athlete...

The way this draft is looking is heavy defense 1st round (DL,LB,CB), heavy offense in the 2nd (RB, WR, TE, OL), and then 3rd 4th rounds take BPA players who might get lost on position runs and need.

Devin White just ran a 4.42

Devin Bush just ran a 4.44

Soooo we need to wish for a "BAD" 1st round draft choice at LBer?
.....Best Available Devin?

Man I'd love to see him around in the 4th. Take CB with round 1 and go offense with the AB pick and either a 2nd or 3rd. I think a true stud WR will be there in the 2nd... and the same with a RB in the 3rd.

If we don't get a plug and play ILB in the draft... I hope that is our one "Splurge" in Free agency.

[Ernie]

If either of the Devin's is there...though.. we've gotta take him.

For our 1st 5 picks..
I hope we get BPA at ILB, CB, WR, RB and TE.

I agree but scratch RB off that list - and outside of Metcalf I'd wait til the 2nd or 3rd on a WR.

Im looking Metcalf CB, ILB and then TE

If we scratch RB then I hope we go OLB or double up on ILB. Our track record for picking CBs is abysmal.

IF we get a 1st for AB... I'd love to spend it on Metcalf. "Devin" and Metcalf would be a very sweet 1st round!

[Buzz]

Metcalf freak show.

I heard that Metcalf, while he blazed in the 40 and impressed with the bench press, was downright pathetic in the 3-cone drill ... finished in the bottom 2% ... prompting concerns that he will have difficulty creating separation from DBs on cuts. In other words, for all his physical giftedness, he may be limited as far as the route tree he can be effective with.
