OFFICIAL 2006 NFL DRAFT THREAD - WHO DEM STILLERS GONNA PICK

[Draftnik]

I wouldn't be surprised to see them move their 5th with the Seahawks 3rd to move up in the 3rd round and get Bing.

[Ron`]

I think they get him, if they want, without moving up.

[Ron`]

4-2 WBS in third for those who care

[DelPen]

Well, Bing is there if they want him. I'd go DB here and O-line next pick.

[Ron`]

I say lineman, then Bing

[Ron`]

Shows what we know lol

Anthony Smith's profile is rather unimpressive.

[Ron`]

I'm thinking special teams and coachability. They must feel they can coach him up. ESPN said he had a terrible year but has upside like the link you gave said.

He looks to have a ton of raw talent and will be good in kick coverage. We'll find out in a year or two if he can be coached I guess.

4:21 left WBS 4-2 hang on MAF

4:21 left WBS 4-2 hang on MAF

4-3, PP goal by Bridgeport, less than 2 minutes to go...

And Fillewich scores an EN with 1:08 to go.

And Bridport scores with 44 seconds left, 5-4...

[Draftnik]

As it stands now the Steel have 9 picks. Factor in an undrafted FA or 2 making the team and they don't have enough roster openings for all the picks. I think they will trade a few tomorrow to get a high 4th round pick. With the Steel's depth they ended up cutting at least 2 picks last year (Gibson & Herron) that made other teams.

Who has very few picks tomorrow? And I don't think we can trade the compensatory picks which stinks.

[Ron`]

5-4 final WBS

[Ron`]

Can't trade the compensary picks, your right. I don't think anyone trades for tomorrow.

[Ron`]

Bing might not get past Dallas

[Draftnik]

They can't trade the compensatory picks but they still have a 5th, 6th, and 7th they can deal. I think they have a 4th, 5th, and 7th in compensatory picks.

I think they will unload a few picks tomorrow since they can afford to.

[Bowser]

not impressed with the pick of Anthony Smith at 83.

I'm guessing QB at 95 with Reggie McNeal.

[Bowser]

Steelers draft Willie Reid, WR, FSU...

ummmm

Actully not too bad. Looks like a very good punt returner to start and I'd rather have Holmes strictly play WR and no special teams.

[Bowser]

Delpen - I agree needing a returner so they can keep Holmes safe but a third round pick on a guy that probably could have went way later in the draft.

[Ron`]

You just never now bout dem stillers, lol. Hey they usually pick players, guys that can be coached. I have to give them the nod that they knew what they wanted and they picked the best they could. Night all

[Draftnik]

I've been watching hockey so I don't know what Kiper is saying, but this draft seems to be very off the board in terms of many guys going earlier/later than projected starting around the 20th pick and continuing right through the 3rd round.

[Bowser]

Kiper said he would be a good return guy and could be coached up to be a decent WR. Since they selected Reid, I guess the love affair by ESPN Radio hosts will not have Jeremy Bloom to drool over.

[Draftnik]

Reid averaged 15 yards per punt return with 2TDs last season, so they must see him being an impact return man. Scouts Inc had him pegged in the 5th.
