  1. How mad were the Steelers when the Bengals stole their first round pick? I'm guessing 10 whole mads.

  2. Not all offensive tackles can play guard, being taller than 6'4" makes it more difficult to win leverage battles against shorter, heavier defensive tackles (unless you're a powerhouse like Ogden or Osemele) so if Stanley were to play LG he would have to develop his short area game as a technician. Monroe probably isn't tough enough to survive at guard.
  3. Don't forget that after the Jags traded Monroe to us Joekel went on IR. We might want to clear some cap for the inevitable veteran cuts but then we're one injury away from Hurst rolling into Flacco's knees again.
  4. I don't mind him playing LG, it will be a good place to learn the run blocking mentality he needs in this division and league.
  5. I should say above average, Tunsil is quicker on inside moves but I'm splitting hairs. The times he got beat by Lawson inside and outside he got caught waist bending, presumably trying to match Lawsons power instead of trusting his technique.
  6. I like Kaufusi more than Correa, he's been hugely productive, inside he's a poor man's Buckner and outside he's a poor man's Julius Peppers.
  7. Ultimately we're not going anywhere with Hurst getting thrown into Flacco's knees.
  8. From what I heard Dallas countered our offer and wanted to take us to the cleaners.
  9. It's gonna be three years before we know if Ramsey (or anyone else) is the player we thought they were.
  10. Yes Ochi is a bad dude, I hope we don't drop the ball on him like James Harrison.
  11. I don't disagree with any of the picks it's just strange to me considering how the emphasis in the war room was about character, I just don't buy that Stanley and Correa were rated higher than Tunsil or Spence.
  12. The thing is if we were beating the drum about character by passing on Tunsil and Spence then why did we take Alex Lewis? this is the same Alex Lewis who did jail time for beating an air cadet unconscious then went on a social media rant against huskers fans. Seems a bit hypocritical.
  13. He can't move through contact or trash, he has to be completely clean coming downhill.
  14. Yay more conservative defense
  15. I think it's his break tackle rate that got him drafted, he's elusive. I really hope so, it's a confusing draft but I trust Ozzie knows more than we do.
  16. Well they're still a .500 team this year at least but they're ascending, they picked up potentially 5 starters who are gamewreckers. You might have a bandwagon next year.
  17. Ozzie's big board never looks like anyone elses, lets hope we got some future starters

  18. I'm worried that most of our draft is, I hope we look back on this thinking "wow this was a great draft" instead of "hey whatever happened to those guys?"
  19. Is it as bad as Tampa Bay? or Miami?
  20. Probably. I'm absolutely amazed by the Jaguars draft, not just the first three picks EVERY pick. Incredible.
  21. Jags draft is pretty much how I hoped ours would look, I guess we'll know in a year or three.
  22. Smith's leg will get better, Jack's leg will get worse. Every team has been burned by injury busts so you can't blame them for being hesitant.
  23. People thought our season was over when we limped into the 12-13 playoffs
  24. Do you guys think he's better than Perkins or Collins? I don't see it, he's more like a poor man's Ray Rice.
  25. They countered and wanted to take Ozzie to the cleaners and he said no, we'll see who was right or wrong in a year or three.
