    BAD feeling on the Steelers PIck
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

And if someone wants us to throw a mid-70s pick and give us a chance to drop back and pick up an extra early 2nd round talent, that's historically a Gutekunst deal. He may go for that.
    We already have a ton of picks that are relatively early. It made sense to move back if players that filled needs were gone, but that isn’t the case now. We will have very good DBs to choose from.
    It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!

    moving back to 28 so bufalo gets their reciever, picking up a late 2 or 3 would work

    All good, and still in UT.

    Under/over guess on number of games before Sam Darnold gets benched for McCarthy?

    Troy Fautanu

    Overview
    Ready-made brawler without an ounce of finesse in his game. Fautanu has starting experience at tackle and guard and is well-coached, but he will default to unruly hand-fighting when his technique gets away from him. He plays with average hand placement and can be beaten by length, but his tenacity and footwork keep him connected to base blocks. He’s capable of getting to reach blocks in zone and chaperoning running backs wide as a pulling guard on the next level. He’s a pop-and-reset pass puncher who uses active hands and feet to help with extended mirroring he’s forced into. Fautanu needs to prove he has the leverage and hand quickness to play inside, but all signs point toward him becoming a good future starter.

    Strengths
    Plays with lateral hustle to make back-side and play-side zone blocks.
    Works to center and land with firmness post-contact.
    Generates push from lower half on down blocks and double-teams.
    Sets out to rusher with good lateral quickness and knee bend.
    Maintains active hands and feet to stay in front of the rusher.
    Keeps weight back to avoid being countered off-balance in protection.

    Weaknesses
    Longer opponents gain extension and rid him of block sustain.
    Run-blocking technique eventually gets away from him.
    Has issues with hand slippage due to inconsistent placement.
    Slow to fire his pass punch and rarely closes rusher down with hand latch.
    Gets beaten inside when he’s too eager and oversets the edge.
    Ring the bells that still can ring
    Forget your perfect offering
    There is a crack, a crack in everything

    No idea, who knows. Sammy boy sucks and the other guy is a rook.

    Doing good, and will be doing great if Gute delivers on this draft like he did on last years draft.

    If we draft that wide receiver, Thomas, Will Rogers rush the stage and start throwing steel chairs like a WWE show??
    I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
