Man I have no idea how that game is going to go. The Bengals defense should be good enough to limit the present-day Steelers offense. It definitely helps the Bengals having a couple of steelers pass rushers out but it's not like you need a high quality pass rusher to beat our line right now. The Bengals love giving rookies career days so I bet you if the Steelers win it'll be because Najee went off.

I could see it like the Pitt/Buffalo opener. Just a real slog, decided by a gaff.

Pittsburgh's defense will be nowhere near as good as the opener against Buffalo. They've lost multiple starters, the offense will also likely be worse with Dionte Johnson out. I anticipate multiple plays by Mike Hilton, because he's cool and good.

if you look at dalvin cook and david montgomery's game logs in their first two games of the season, they both had over 6 ypc in their other game and 3.1 ypc against the bengals. but i think najee harris will have 7 or 8 ypc thanks to a 70 yard run you mother effer. i did not mean to cuss. just thinking about that run

It's going to take a lot longer for me to believe in a Cincinnati defense again but I will say they have played significantly past my expectations for this year.

Bengals beat the Steelers last year, this team in its current state without Alualu, Watt, and Bud Dupree's replacement Alex Highsmith isn't any better. Chase Claypool hasn't done much yet this year, JuJu is probably their best offensive player just b/c he's consistent. The O-line is starting multiple rookies, they were built to be carried by the defense, Roethlisberger is already injured, and it's not looking great atm. Unless the Offense does something unexpected they won't score more than 14 points. That said Tomlin is a pretty good coach and I can see him pulling a win of their collective buttholes.

The Chiefs could have drafted Tee Higgins. quote:Edwards-Helaire has 30 touches this year (27 rushing attempts and three catches), and zero first downs. That’s an astonishingly bad statistic; no other running back in the NFL is close. It’s almost impossible to get the ball that much and never pick up a first down. Never take a RB in the first round.

I think if you think a RB is going to produce at a high level it's fine to take him anywhere. It's not like other positions don't ever bust. And what if you have a guy like LaDanian Tomlinson or Marshall Faulk? Would they really not be a top 5 pick or top overall pick if you somehow knew? But I do agree that if you have to neglect a position RB is the right one to do it to.

Brissett is next. He was already getting up slow last week. No one is surviving that poo poo every week. Playing QB behind that OL is like some kind of punishment from Greek mythology.

End of the first round is fine for a RB because you have the 5 controlled years if he’s good. Just don’t pay him after.

What if you draft a RB and he only gives you two super bowls then falls off immediately? Is that worth it? e: holy poo poo he was picked 196th, in the 6th round.

The other argument is that quality running backs can be found all throughout the draft and since the shelf like on RBs is so short why waste a high pick on one? Like sometimes you get Saquon but sometimes you get Fournette. And drafting Fournette over a potential franchise QB is unforgivable.

Don't draft a RB in the first mostly means the top of the first, nobody really cares what you do at pick 25 or whatever. That said, there's next to no workhorse backs in the league at all anymore, almost everyone platoons, and the history of 1st rounders kinda sucks! '21 - 24 - Najee Harris - seems fine, and way too early, but definitely doesn't look to be solving the Steelers' offensive issues '21 - 25 - Travis Etienne - injured '20 - 32 - Clyde Edwards-Helaire - unimpressive '19 - 24 - Josh Jacobs - fine, trailed off last year, injured this year. '18 - 2 - Saquon Barkley - Hasn't done much but be injured since his rookie year. '18 - 27 - Rashaad Penny - lmao '18 - 31 - Sony Michel - A perfectly fine platoon back who... lol, oh right, first round pick. '17 - 4 - Leonard Fournette - A perfectly fine platoon back who... oh my god he went 4th overall and shitheaded his way out of Jacksonville. '17 - 8 - Christian McCaffrey - All pro in his 3rd year! injured his 4th, injured so far his 5th. '16 - 4 - Ezekiel Elliott - The prototypical workhorse back who is... currently two games into averaging a middling 4 yards a carry and underperforming a random other back they got playing half the snaps he is. '15 - 10 - Todd Gurley - 2 x All pro his 3rd and 4th years and.... he's gone. '15 - 15 - Melvin Gordon - A half dozen years of solid production. TFF required posting: You'd be much better off drafting an oline that any ol' shmuck can run for 4.5 YPC behind.

No no, 2nd round is where you draft the bust cornerbacks. And I recommend drafting good offensive linemen, not bad ones.
