RD 1 pick 21 the Chargers take Quinton Johnson WR. TCU. It came as a disappointment to me at first. I don't watch college football so had never heard of him. There was lots of guys left that I had kind of wanted just because they were the guys I'd heard people talk about. I really really wanted another speed WR to go with Guyton who runs a 4.3ish.
Now that I have researched the guy a little I like it. Mike Williams and Keenan are ageing. Welcome Quinton all you have to do this year is help Guyton take the top off the def and Herbert will do the rest. I'm excited as I always am.

I read a couple articles that said Omar Khan would not just sit & wait for their pick that Pittsburgh would trade up to get their guy. After the Cardinals picked P.Johnson an the the Bears & Titans both took offensive tackles I thought it was all smoke about trading up. Then Pittsburgh makes the trade with New England to land the 2nd best OT in the draft and the Jets losing out.
I was stoked to see the Steelers draft Broderick Jones at 14 and with the 1st pick of the second round they have another player they really want in Joey Porter Jr. still available.

I'm loving what the Steelers have done so far in this years draft. Trading down in the 3rd round from their 80th pick to 93 and getting a fourth round pick which they didn't have after the trade with New England was a good move an they got a huge target at the tight end position in 6'7" Darnell Washington.
The Steelers have addressed the top 3 needs in OT Broderick Jones,CB Joey Porter Jr. & defensive line in Keeanu Benton.

I guess he was rated top TE in draft but dropped due to a lingering knee issue. Reminded me of how we got Keenan in the third. I was willing to take the risk due to Keenan. I don't really think we needed a TE that bad though. Seems lots of Charger fans think we do. We have Gerold Everett who had a good year last year and Parham is great if he can stay healthy. Oh and Parham is 6'9"

Well we got a speed guy that I've been yelling for ever since Guyton got hurt last year. Now we have Guyton and Davis. Watch the jet sweep in this video. The DB's have the angle and he just halls ass. 4.3 40.
Oh and he's a kick returner. Which we need after not resigning Andre Roberts. oops I mean DeAndre Carter who I was pissed we didn't keep. He really came through when our other WR.s were hurt. Now he's a Raider.

We definitely nailed it. That last graphic with the 49ers that close a 2nd is way too close IMO. The Cowboys a distant 3rd, and they are a joke choke.

A new era has begun in Pittsburgh with GM Omar Khan. Gone are the days where the Steelers hardly ever traded up or down an just waited for their turn to pick. Khan moved up in the 1st round to land one of the top left tackles without giving much up to get him an then traded down in the 3rd round to acquire another pick an still got the player they wanted.
Its been said that this was the best draft the Steelers have had in a long long time. Looking forward to this season an how this group of players pan out an for what the future may hold with Omar Khan's more agressive style.
I know its early but they're already talking about how loaded the 2024 draft talent will be..

Faster than Tyreek Hill. Worth the risk.
last season derius davis clocked 23.47 mph in a game — the fastest run in all of college football *and* the nfl

Sorry you are working so hard but it might be a blessing come football season because your team is going suck.

Actually I think the Raiders off season and draft is kind of well recieved. I'm pissed they signed DeAndre Carter. He was a good KR and decent WR in a pinch when all our guys got hurt. I like that we replaced him with Darius Davis though in the draft.
