What will make you cry in the upcoming draft...and jump for joy

[Oviedo]

Three "crys" for me:

1. Drafting a QB in Round 1, especially if we have to trade up. Not the year. Let Trubisky show what he can do
2. Not adding to the defensive line by the end of Round 2
3. Not getting a WR by the end of Round 3

Three "jumps" for me:

1. Getting Kyle Hamilton
2. Getting Jordan Davis or Devonte Wyatt
3. Trading down in Round 1 for more picks

It is funny how many new ones here think OV is a blind Homer.
If we draft a wrong guy... those of us long timers know....we have seen it before.
Dude will not shut up about it.
Gone will be the talk of "trusting the team".

Beware of the WRATH OF OVIEDO!!!

That said... I kinda agree with you on all counts you list.

I'd agree with everything except possibly #2 of "jump." I'm just not sure about Davis; a physical freak no doubt. He rated a 6.5, which is listed as "boom or bust" and I agree with that. I'm not sure how many plays you will get his best effort from during an NFL game.

[hawaiiansteel]

rest assured, all players we draft will be "Steelers types", BPA, and outright steals.

[WindyCitySteel]

Cry:

Willis (esp trade up) -- Not even close to being ready to play in the NFL
S other than Hamilton -- Reach for need
Pickett - Already at ceiling, which is Andy Dalton IMO

Jump:

Jordan Davis - Run defense fixed
Hamilton - Best safety pair in league
Olave - True #1 WR
Bonus - Any of the above and Corral or Ridder in round 2

[Sugar]

I really don't want a QB first or second round. That said, I'll root for him to succeed for the sake of the team if they do. I didn't want Jarvis Jones and happened to be right. I didn't want Pouncey and turned out to be wrong. Either way, I know that they team has done their research and will do what they know.

Olave - True #1 WR

[flippy]

I'll jump for joy if we do things that set us up to win #7 and I'll cry if we don't do those things.

With you on all the above

I have a strong feeling they're going QB in round 1. I won't cry or lose any sleep but I think it's the wrong move. But I'm looking forward to seeing what they do. I want to read some actual Steelers news as opposed to some of the things that's been written about around here lately!

[steeler_fan_in_t.o.]

Cry:

*Trade up for first round QB (I won't be happy with 1 at #20 but have come to terms with it)
*No OT picked by the end of Friday

Jump

*First round OT
*First round CB if not OT
*WR by day 2

Expect DL, LB at some point but not as desperate.

[Joel Buchsbaum]

Cry

1. Drafting Wills. No, no, no. Not a passer. Played vs weak competition.
2. Trading up for any player.
and Picking a WR, G, T, S, or CB in round one.

Yes!

1. Getting Lloyd, or Corral in round one
2. Trading out of round one for and picking up draft capital. ( would have to see the trade )
3. Getting Howell in round two.

We need a re-load like when we drafted Seracy, Kirkland and Steed 1,2&3. Now that was a very dood draft.

[Steel Maniac]

Three cry’s for me:

1. Wasting a first round pick on Hamilton ( decent safeties can be found later in the draft.. he’s not a TP)
2. Drafting Willis in the first round ( don’t want a run first QB that can’t read defenses ; can’t pass which means he won’t ever win a chip for us)
3. Taking a WR in the first round. ( Such a deep draft in WR that I want to wait until later to take one)

Three jump for joy:

1. Us trading down in the first round and picking up more picks.
2. Us taking the best D-line/ILB player in round one.
3. Us taking the best O-line player in round two.

Dave and Alex went through all the non-QB potential picks at 1.20 and came up with 4 based on who the Steelers visited, what they typically pick regarding underclassmen, need, etc. 2 of the 4 were SS, as this was before the Edmunds signing. Another was the GA WR who now is reportedly falling down boards because of off the field issues.

Can't remember the other guy, but it speaks to your point - they're taking a QB. I'm thinking Matt Corral.
