Draft Day 3

[smidrow]

Kittle is probably the most explosive and might have the biggest upside.
Butt may be the best blocker of the three, but he is limited as an athlete. I see a poor man's Heath Miller, maybe slightly better than James.
Leggett is a scrappy blocker and better than average receiver, but he does the little things that help you win, like converting first downs, comes up big in big moments, and will help his teammates out.

All have something good about them.

Jake Butt is a Steeler type of player...He would be gone if he didn't get injured in the bowl game.

Ahhh, Tarik Cohen to the Bears. I thought he might sneak out the draft and be a priority FA. Tough little runner and great in the slot, like he has played there his whole life. Nice 3rd down package back, but too rich for me.

Maybe. What does he run? If he ran a 4.9, he might fall further. Just don't know until the process plays out.

Let me add this too, because I don't want to come off like I don't like Butt, he is fine, but when you group him with George Kittle, who is 6'4"-250 and is a solid receiver and scrappy blocker, then factor in Kittle ran a 4.52 forty, had a35" vertical, 11' BJ, and 18 reps on the bench with fairly long arms, he has excellent upside as a blocker and a receiving weapon.

I want S Ekuban

Hearing Jake Butt had an insurance policy where if he fell out of the 3rd round, he received $100,000. For each pick after that, he gets $10,000 more. He is at a quarter million right now.

 

[TMC]

Sorry, $150,000 and $10,000 each pick.

Ravens finally add an OL, a guard.

Just loved watching the way the Butt kid played. He is an old school type player....He is a complete tight end who played in a pro-style offense. who knows though...Kittle certainly is a tremendous athlete...

 

[smidrow]

To be frank, I think we need a TE considering Ladarius Green's concussion issues...

 

[TMC]

Montae Nicholson gone

Vegas is selling insurance policies now? Or some guy named Vito in Queens.

I loved Kittle at the combine. I have been hoping for him.

Montae Nicholson gone

Heard the Steelers liked him a lot

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

All these safeties coming off the board are why i don't like the Conner pick in RD 3.

 

[antdrewjosh]

I hate football

 

[TMC]

Ebukam gone.

 

[smidrow]

Desmond King has to be a consideration right now for the pick in the 4th as well. Versatile player who fits what the Steelers do.

 

[CoolieMan]

browns take Howard Wilson

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

I think the Steelers like Jesse James as their TE-Y which is the traditional on the line TE. I don't see Butt as much of an upgrade. If the Steelers go TE, i think it will be for a TE-F which is a a receiver like Ladarius.

I like Kittle. I'd take a shot on Bucky Hodges too. Hodges is pretty much just a big WR that i would normally never consider but the steelers appear to be looking for a receiving TE.

[CorpusDsteelers]

Coolie happy now got his UH in the afc north

 

[ZACKB]

Desmond King could be interesting. Would he be that much better at FS than Gay at FS though? King is slow I believe...but solid player

Hodges is a TE in name only, doesn't even line up as a down player. Was not split out, according to him, less than 18 times all season. In essence, he was a slot 99% of the time. Might as well draft another WR.

Fs? Gay?
