We had next to no pass rush last yr. It's fixed now or at least addressed.


You are over rating Jenkins He may still be there at 54. Either way In your scenario You would have reached for Jenkins there and missed on any possibility of an edge rush. Now we have the edge and can look for OT later and the combination is MUCH better doing it this way

My guess there will be at least 3 good OT at 54

That makes no sense.

I will say this: I hated the Nelson pick for positional value, but still thought he would be a good player. I just hate this pick. I hate it, and there's no other way to put it. There goes Darrisaw to the Vikings at 23, and here comes Jenkins to the Steelers to maul Paye for the next three years at 24.

Using what?

A next year pick? That is the only ammo he has.

If you're going EDGE, why on Earth would you take Paye over Ojulari?! Now watch the Titans take Ojulari and the Steelers take Jenkins. Because everything always sucks in the draft.

They better get a tackle to protect Wentz, the more he gets hit the more he throws to the wrong colored jersey!! I guess Ballard has given up on Bonago! Could have had one of the best tackles in the draft, but will have to settle for what ever is left with our next pick.

Payton Turner, who will likely be better than Paye, will likely be on the board at 54. Teven Jenkins will not.

Ballard likes Team Captains
