Pre Draft visits

[jebrick]

Still no clear R1 pick on that list.

Nope....Still think Vega will visit though. Right now, have to believe he is the frontrunner in round 1.

If he and Thieneman are there at 21, I would hope they take Thieneman as the IOL group is pretty deep. Vega is not so special like DeCastro. he is just the best OG of the lot.

I'm wondering whether or not they might consider the safety position solved with Elliot and Brisker. Not saying it actually is, just that it may be their thinking on it.

[jebrick]

Brisker has been so bad that it almost signals they are drafting a safety. Brisker is just there to fill a hole for now.

Adding Harold Perkins LB LSU

It would be a tough call between Thienemann and Ioine.

Could go Thienneman. In the first and hold fast to get Dunker, Bisonitis, or Pregreon.(sp)? In the 2nd.

I’d be fine with that or drafting Ioine in the first.

I just think the drop off for safety is greater than OG. i also would not mind CB. I just think GO is deep enough to wait

Trade back a few spots maybe pick up something for 2027 since they will not receive any compensatory picks?

Adding Travis Burke OT Memphis

Taylon Green is reportedly coming for a visit

[jebrick]

Steelers sent scout Ike Taylor and Defensive Pass Game Coordinator Jason Simmons to Tennessee's Pro Day to check out CBs Colton Hood and Jermod McCoy.

[jebrick]

Added Chris Johnson CB San Diego St.

[Charles Demarr]

I really hope they bring in Omar Cooper and KC Concepcion. I'd love another playmaker early.

I agree

I agree

The more I've researched Concepcion, the more I like him.

Due to the freakishly error laden end site I wasn’t able to link to the root source.

Took me many tries just to get this poasted securely without the 503 error constantly deleting all the data.

A proday visit so far.

[Steelafan77]

Doesn’t fit the Steeler criteria for inside D linemen size.

Love the super freakish athleticism and believe a little creativity could be his only way onto a roster.

Fullback?

I hope not, that’s a whole lotta JAG right there.

Or they could just, ya know, draft/sign an actual fullback.
Time to stop the “square peg round hole” bullshit.
That guy is gone!
Draft football players and put them into the positions to be football players.

[Steelafan77]

Does my sentence read the Steelers specifically need to be the franchise anywhere in that statement?

Or does it read “with a little creativity a player with such freakish ability could potentially lock on a roster”?

Fullback came to mind due to his size combined with superhuman athleticism. Perhaps another position better suits him.

Can't logically imagine a receiver at 289 or even a running back and too short for tight end but yeah, just thinking outside the box.

Is the slowest part of the offseason so while there’s not a lot to focus on simple civil conversation should be tolerable right.

That all said, I too am exhausted with the square peg round hole bullshit as much as anyone.

I was certainly trying to hold a civil conversation. I had no intention of being a condescending jackass, but after re-reading my post I can see that I came across that way. My apologies!

[Steelafan77]

A lot can be misconstrued in text versus actual conversation. You’re good Jobu.

No offense was taken. Just wanted to justify the mindset behind my post.

I also agree with brick, just draft an actual Nose tackle for Christ sakes.

I get it though gotta cross all the i’s and dot all the t’s….

WR Denzel Boston, Washington
ILB Jaden Dugger, Louisiana
DT Darrell Jackson, Florida State

Dugger, from Penn Hills, is a local visit. Boston a potential first round WR option.

Jackson is a candidate for one of the third rounders. Not a Boston guy myself.

[Steelafan77]

The Dugger kid seems intriguing from height, weight, speed athleticism perspective.

Never seen a down of him playing.

Where would this type player fit?

Off ball coverage? Or put on 30lbs of muscle and pass rush off the edge?

Looks like he started off as a safety. I've not seen any film either, but maybe a bit of a poor man's Sonny Styles?

I'm not a fan of Jackson. Dugger is the only one that interests me

[Steelafan77]

Few more to add.

The Steelers continue their focus on the wide receivers; Connecticut receiver Skyler Bell, along with BYU linebacker Jack Kelly and Miami defensive back Jakobe Thomas. https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/202 ... 2604080053
