  • I just wanted Gilbert cut, but THIS FO gets rid of him, gets a pick for him, AND dumps him on Pittspuke! LOL

    And you know who else I bet believes "life is good" ? Justin Gilbert.

    A stud in college and high on almost everyone's board, the sentiment out there is that all this guy needs is a change of scenery, from a losing culture to a winning one. Many view Gilbert as being "rescued". We shall see.

    Having legit 4.3 speed, he would be the best kick returner on the Steeler roster.

    Which is fine for the price you paid for him, but for the price we paid, we expected much, much more than a STs guy.

    Let's just hope the days of trading first round picks for fifths and sixths are over.

    Truer words have never been spoken.

    But the Steelers have had high priced first round busts too. Their Jarvis Jones is like your former LB Bark Mingo, maybe worse.

    Ok I go with this draft. Drafting Corey Coleman with #15 was an epic fail.

    Based upon?

    @tour2ma said:

    Shouldn't take a WR in the first half of the first round unless you can get a Julio, AJ, Megatron, etc. or if you are a really good team missing a piece. Coleman is an undersized guy for a #1 and even if he reaches his ceiling by the time the Browns are any good he'll be out of his rookie deal or close and then you'll have to pay him. Like putting a BMW hood ornament on a Hyundai.

    LMAO You know this after 1 training camp and 2 pre-season games?

    They had many more "real" needs. For arguments sake let's say Coleman turns out to be Sammy Watkins. When you can't stop the run or pass and can't block for your washed up QB what good is a WR? Maybe he sells jerseys but the Browns are devoid of talent at essential positions. Bitonio and Erving aren't lighting the world on fire and Thomas is old. The D Line is suspect as well. If in todays NFL controlling the line of scrimmage should be the first order of business.

  • Somebody kill this thread already, ding dong Gilbert's gone....

  • Not much else to talk about this team is a dumpster fire that won't win more than 4 games. Oddly enough even the sunshine pumpers realize this year.

    Yea, our future HoF olineman sure has accounted for many, many wins during his illustrious career.

    Personally I'd go with defense, defense, defense, defense and hope in that 4 years I could piece together some form of offense.

    Not arguing, but come on man, this team had so many holes and they all couldn't be filled in just one off season. We could argue all day until we're blue in the face on whether we should've gone QB, OL, front 7, back end, a lil' bit of every position this first off season, but the reality is the FO could only do so much.

    Lets give the guys until at least Oct 1 before we all cry to blow it up again.

  • Who cut Gilbert's Grapes?

  • Gilbert couldn't cover my grandmother.....and then he couldn't tackle her.

    I've been a hood ornament guy myself, but the cards have been dealt.

    In a short 4 weeks Coleman will be our #2. There a quite an number of great, undersized WRs in the league, ones shorter than Coleman. Let's hope he's good enough that we have to pay him.

    Thomas is "old"? He's 32 and entering his 11th season in a league where great OTs play 15 years... even ones that have suffered serious injuries. If we trend upwards, I think he'd like to ride along at least that long.

    Was it the route I'd have taken? No, but again the hand's been dealt.

    As D pointed out... you can't fix everything at once. If we come out of 2016 at least having fixed WR, then that will be one position more than we've fixed in a while.

    Can't keep blowing it up just wished they'd have a plan. I was so excited with Pettine and Farmer coming on board that I thought they would at least have a defense worth a shit. I liked the Shelton pick even though the jury is still out on that one. I was hoping they would have stayed put this year and taken the best DL or LB available to add to Shelton. They trade down and take, what I believe to be, a #2 WR to put with a shit offensive line, questionable RBs and a washed up QB. I don't know what Sashi's plan is but I don't know if he really has one.

    Not to worry- we have picks galore the next two years. 🙂
