Thought it was a requirement that Jonnu Smith followed Arthur Smith.

He has to have another stop somewhere else, first. Steelers will trade for Jonnu next year when Freiermuth gets hurt, is my guess.

Russ is a bad fit for modern NFL schemes but he can still throw a pretty nice deep ball and can kinda run so I can see him doing alright in Arthur Smith�s Tennessee offense that was mostly running the ball and then bombs off play action.

Isnt Russ bad at throwing over the middle and Arthur Smith's offense relies on throws over the middle? I have nightmares about AJ Brown catching a pass over the middle from Tannehill for a big gain from Arthur's days as the Titans OC.

Eagles lost Cox but they kept Big Dick, good for them.

Ornery and Hornery posted:

He�s fine at throwing over the middle. If we split �over the middle� into three depths, 0-5, 6-10, 11-X, he�s been good at the short and at the long. He�s been solid at the 6-10.

The meme that he *can�t* throw over the middle is because he�s historically chosen to throw over the middle, as a proportional share of all his throws, at a rate less than the NFL average. His accuracy has been fine when he does choose to throw over the middle.

Wilson played behind literally the biggest college OL when he was at Wisconsin and he made it work.

Wilson is probably missing some over the middle opportunities that he could otherwise realize if he were like 6�4�, but it�s not some critical Achilles heel that makes him a worthless qb.

Thank you for the detailed info! That makes a lot of sense. It is hard to keep the memes/doomposting separate from reality sometimes.

He was over paid after that one monster season he had, which was the year Gruden was fired. Offense changed after Gruden left and he hasn�t been targeted the same way. He hasn�t had any major injuries that I render heading about so I think it�s all about the pay vs production.

I'm surprised Hurst still wants to play after the horrible concussion & memory loss he suffered last year. Or am I mis-remembering and that was someone else?

Also this makes me sad because the TE signings mean that Donald Parham will be buried on the depth chart and I have always wanted that mountain of a man to break out.

i'm also curious if some of those teams got shut down before the steelers traded for russ

maybe he really wants to spend a year behind russ or something, but if his focus was opportunity to start seems like there are a couple of teams that could offer similar opportunity

The Steelers didnt trade for Russ.

Other teams that were interested, like the Eagles, already have an established starter. The Bears wanted to do right by Justin because they are trading him because they have the first overall pick and the smart thing to do is go with a rookie QB to reset the contract timer, not because they hate Fields. if they only had 9th overall (if they didnt have first overall from the Panthers) Fields would not have been traded. Fields chose the Steelers, probably because Russ is in his mid thirties, takes a lot of sacks, and is on a 1 year contract so if anything happens to Russ and he gets to play and does well, he stands a chance of signing a longer contract to stay in Pittsburgh. If he went to the Eagles he would be less likely to get playing time then would be definitely be looking for a new team after the season because there is zero chance the Eagles are moving on from Hurts. Going to Pittsburgh was literally the best available option to see playing time and have a chance to stick around for more than one year.

Chicago - QB
Wash - QB
NE - QB
ARi - WR
Chargers - might be willing to trade
Giants - QB is a possibility but probably 2nd best WR in the class
Tennessee - not a QB
Atlanta - probably an edge
Chicago - who knows.

I mean... They might be able to stand pat and get who they want anyway but I think the most likely candidate to trade back would be the chargers. With their current cap they might want as many rookie contracts as possible but they did lose Allen and Williams this offseason so you'd think for sure they're staying to take the best receiver they can.

I think the Arizona situation is illustrative of the conversation we�re having about the trade back with Minnesota taking them out of blue chip prospect range.

If Minnesota was at 9 then I�d be much more willing to trade if I was Arizona. Because you�d still have a chance at one of the elite 3 WRs. But because Minnesota is at 11, there�s minimal chance Odunze or Nabers lasts that long, and as such I�d be hesitant to trade down if I was Arizona unless the package was astronomical.

><><><><

Also, I strongly disagree with the Falcons going defense at their pick. Obviously their pass rush has been awful the last few years, so I get why it�s mocked to them� but the top WR prospects and OT prospects are such better quality than the top defensive line prospects, and are positions of need, that I�d prioritize maximizing the offense around Kirk.

I like this post.

I have read that Arizona is fixed on MHJ and is not willing to trade back if he is available. No idea how true it is but I'd believe it since they have a second 1st rounder from the Houston trade last year. I could see them trading back in MHJ goes in the top 3 though.

The Chargers are noted as being willing to trade out of 5. They want more picks. I wouldnt blame them for taking a T (to be their RT) but I dont think they want an RT at 5 and would be willing to trade back and take one at 9 or 11 in order to get extra picks.

Giants have needs everywhere so I think they are a bit of a wildcard.

Tennessee will take a T. It is practically guaranteed after they signed Ridley to that stupidly expensive deal and how extremely bad their OL was last year.

I could see Atlanta taking a RT since Kirk is not known for being mobile before he suffered the Achilles injury and they have so much invested in offense solidifying the OL sounds smart, then they go defense the rest of the draft.

Chichago doesnt have a 2nd or a 3rd but I could see them taking Nabers or Odunze if they drop that far, or the top edge if all the picks in front of them are offensive guys.

It is shaping up to be extremely interesting but my gut is telling me that it is going to end up being a boring first round when no big trades into the top 10 happen.

The Chargers need a loving receiver stop mocking them a tackle

The argument there is that there is a ton of WR depth in the draft so, especially if they trade back and get an extra 2nd as part of the deal, they can get WRs. I'm not saying I agree with it.

edit: I guess part of it is that I could see Harbaugh banging the table for an elite OL so they can dominate the trenches, run, and have Herbie throw beautiful bombs to whatever WRs that they do have.

The actual last time they did it (Harvin to Seattle) it also did not work out because they drafted a receiver who could not run routes but was the best kick returner of all time.
