The Gipper Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 All that aside the guy the Steelers took, Edmunds on a couple of prospect sheets that I am following, the highest he was rated was the number 99. And all the other ones had him in like the 200s. Hopefully he lives up to his predraft rankings of mediocrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like he would not have been there later for them. When the good ILBs were all off the board I actually expected Pgh to trade out of the 1st.round. I think in later rounds they have an extra year of control or something. Pgh not good at evaluating and drafting DBs. Can’t say they have come up with an outstanding one in years.

Tour2ma Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 DraftScout had this Edmunds ranked 88th in the class, a Round 3 grade, and the 3rd ranked SS. He's in the Steelers' physical mode and tested great at the Combine... much better than the #2 SS, which remained BAMA's Harrison. Sure looks like a reach, but Steelers obviously liked him a lot and felt he would not be there at their next pick at 2.28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDDawg Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 I don't know what the NFL were trying to achieve with that but what I saw was a young man crippled by a game. Individual determination to pull through but a crushing indictment of NFL football, really sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Buffalo Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 I was impressed. Most people in his position would still be in a wheel chair. He has a determination to get his life back to as close to normal as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigalow80 Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Yeah, not a ringing endorsement for the NFL. Hey guys, you are about to join these guys...one of whom is crippled for life because of this game..but you might make a bunch of money, if you can make it to your second contract, which only 30% of you will....

Tour2ma Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 We all know Shazier's head down tackling is what ended his playing career. Hard to think of a better spokesman for the NFL's "Heads Up" program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gawdammed incredible when you think about it. I hope he does play again. It would be the greatest comeback in the history of sports. For the first time in my life, I'm rooting for a Steeler.

Hard to think of a better spokesman for the NFL's "Heads Up" program. Pains me to admit it but this is spot on. Some of the missile tackles he had while at tOSU (one against Cal I remember vividly because I was there) were a big foreshadowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reid and Harrison...the top safties ranked above Edmonds. Edmonds has speed with good size at 6'2, 210 and a hard hitter. Makes you wonder about the "experts". I like the pick a lot.
