Sammie Coates should turn out to be a very good draft pick as long as Wallace108 doesn't use him in his signature.

I'd like to think that I don't have the ability to curse our players. But I'm beginning to wonder.

26 pages so far. Any mini meltdowns worth a search?

Not really... just some mild gnashing of teeth.

There was one. But it barely registered on the meltdown scale. It didn't even cause me to spill my beer.

I wouldn't call it a meltdown. This is mild compared to the nuclear fallout we would get at SF! There would be F-bombs flying everywhere and active planning to storm the castle.

This is mild and calm by comparison.......I'm a little disappointed in the membership. The entertainment value is way down.

Coates is a talented receiver. He's big, strong, and fast. His one problem is catching the football. He has struggled with drops his whole career. He showed a lot against Alabama and had a great game, but his entire career has been filled with drops. They must feel it's something that can be cleaned up to take him this high. When it comes to drafting wide receivers, I would definitely give them the benefit of the doubt.

Since Sweed anyway.....

this draft has sucked so far steelers drafting clones of former players

Dupree a Woodley clone, Dupree might have a couple of good years then after he signs a big contract he'll start eating his way out of a job.

Goldson a smaller William Gay clone has some ball skills but will get run over by RBs.

Coates has Sweed written all over him big fast and can't catch a cold.

yea brag about draft now but i'll be reading the negative comment on this board about these players in the future that you're loving and bragging about now.

Anthony Harris from UVA?

They just said on the show that I guess there are some injury concerns. They did not get more specific than that.

Give me holliman or oleary

Think I want another corner with our pick or a safety.

Man, I hope Ifo is there and the steelers take him.. There I just jinxed it.

stress fracture in foot showed up a few weeks ago. I wish we had an earlier 4th to take him. Good pix by vikings who needs him.

I wanted him in the 3rd, so they probably still won't take him in the 4th. I think him, Doran Grant at CB or Drummond and Derron Smith for safeties.

So they will probably take a WR or LB.

I hope your wrong.. I like your picks though.

Good pick!!

Called it. It's Grant.

Nice. Happy.

Love it.

Nice pick, Doran Grant. Now lets get that LG we need.

Good pick. Happy with it.

NFL Network has no idea what they're talking about. Mayock and the other guy both just said Cortez Allen was our #1 corner and that our starting corners are Allen and Webb. Did everyone forget Gay just had a career year?
