A Positive View of they Draft

[Captain Lemming]

In all fairness, McFarland is a little bigger than those little dudes.

30 pounds bigger than Archer.

Perspective that will blow your mind?
Snell lists at 5’10” and 225......only 17 pounds more than McFarland.

I think we are going to see McFarland make some important plays for us his rookie year. He'll never be a starter, but he can do things our other RBs can't.

I've said it about a dozen times this off season but don't underestimate the Matt Canada factor this season and moving forward

Talking about other players doesn’t make a new draft pick into a clone of them.

[whatever]

Despite the intent of this thread - I have to say my enjoyment of the virtual draft has only been exceeded by watching the annual gnashing of teeth, hysteria and doom and gloom that follows on these boards. who needs real housewives when I can get a daily dose of the 'real steeler fans of western PA' telling me the 182nd pick in the draft is a going to be a bust and the steelers should have grabbed the guy that went 186.........

pure entertainment!!!

My plan is to first see if there's a camp in July. then see if there's a season in sept. then I'll look at the final 53 and depending on their production start my second guessing of Colbert at that point.....

You don't get any entertainment with the real fans claiming every pick is bpa, awesome, Steeler type, etc?
No humor in the fans that never heard of these players before now pretending they know how they will fit the Steeler system?

I hope your right Oviedo. Would love to see Rudolph become the player we all want him to be down the line.

most people find enjoyment in accentuating the positive.

It’s usually antagonist and movie villains who enjoy being negative.

Based on History - 2 of these draft picks will be Good (possibly great) players - 1 or 2 might be serviceable or role players.
If it turns out that way you've done good.

My wife always asks me "did the Steelers get any good picks?"
Every Year I reply "I don't know ... ask me in 2 or 3 yrs"

Truth. People who dwell in the negative are typically reflecting what their own lives are.

Some would counter that seeking realism and truth is more noble than being a zealot, and barely factoring in reality. IDK.

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

And some get taken advantage of because the are so gullable.

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.
