A Positive View of they Draft

[whisper]

Those are facts.
Couple starters, a couple backups and a few cut.
Yet every year, everyone of our picks are the greatest. Exactly what was needed. Steeler types. All staters etc etc.
Incredible projections seeing they never even heard of that player before.

Yea, but some drafts are better than others. These guys have had more wasteland than Cowher. Just look at the actual drafts and it jumps out at you.

2019 - looks promising. Bush a future pro bowler. DJ and Snell legit contributors, Buggs could work in there.

2018 - Edmunds a 3-5th round talent taken in the 1st. Who made that call? Washington will shine this year. Samuels unlikely to make the roster this season. Not a great draft at all.

2017 - 1st two picks strong.

2016 - As bas as any Browns' draft. You can't afford to have your 1st two picks to be unmitigated FAILs. Burns and Davis both suck so bad.

2015 - Pretty lousy.

Let me give you “truth”.
YOU and other negative types are the only one who says that dude.

”I” speak “truth”.
You know why? I quote actual words, I link to actual history, I use search.

YOU make stuff up and argue against ridiculous assertions that nobody is making squidkid.

And when I refer to your original name....that too is “truth”.

[Oviedo]

What if they dwell on the truth? What does that reflect? What does one acting a zealot reflect on?

Truth is fine. Opinion is not truth. Very little of the negativity on this board is based on truth based on facts and empirical evidence. It is opinion that is totally unsubstantiated

you're pretty much the only one who ever says that, but hey why let facts get in the way of a good story right?

Says the guy that says every pick and move is the best.
Why is that truth but negative stuff isn't?

That's a lie also, but then again, it's what you do.

You know, every thread gets hijacked by a few posters who just can’t help themselves. Look at the thread titles then look at how many (or few) pages it takes for those posters to totally make it about a p@$$ing contest.

Too tired of it. Thanks to all the good posters on here that just want to talk Steeler football, the good and bad, in an intelligent and respectful way.

So, with that, the fact is I’m done with this. Trolls will be trolls.

Go Steelers!

Oh yeah,
Why did Oviedo say THIS:

I'd cry if we take Hurts at #49 with the clear need at LB, S, OL, RB.

He was committed before the draft to be in disagreement with that widely rumored pick.
NOBODY on this forum...I mean NOBODY has EVER bashes a draft pick they don’t like as relentlessly as OV did Jarvis Jones.
Long before he had time to prove he was a bum OV could not SHUT UP about what a mistake it was.

Had we drafted Hurts I GUARANTEE YOU he would not shut his trap about it.

Well, it sounds like he was right about Jones. He really did suck.

[hawaiiansteel]

That's a lie also, but then again, it's what you do.

show me one time where I have intentionally lied one time ever?

honesty is a very important trait for me, for you to say otherwise is very wrong.

to say that I'm disappointed in you for saying that would be an understatement...

Appreciate your faith and confidence in me

...and Jones was just another example of me being right

[Northern_Blitz]

That's a lie also, but then again, it's what you do.

It should be easy to find quotes to support your point since the draft was less than a week ago.

You wouldn't even have to use the search function, which is admittedly kind of clunky.

But we all know that you're just building your strawman.

"Another" requires that you were right more than ONCE.

Because he would have changed his mind. He would have found some article or heard a quote from Colbert or Tomlin that made him love the pick.

Just like him actually listing 4 needs but always claiming Steeler draft bpa.
