We didn't reach for a safety we took a 2nd round guy in the second round

If i was you stay away from bridges if you get you knicker in this much of a twist about not drafting the guy you wanted
I agree we got 2 3rd and lots of good players left

I completely disagree. This draft is not deep with nose tackle talent. There are players available, but that doesn't mean they're any good. That's why the pick bothers me so much. I am in no way convinced there are good nose tackles out there. Hell, Miller was available too when we made our pick but even he was a reach for a true nose tackle. Defensive tackle, yes. Nose tackle? I'm not so sure.

You have obviously been given very good intel. :grin:

He also came back last year & was quite productive so is the injury really a worry
I wouldn't have taken him solely for that reason. His age is a legit concern too. I sincerely hope he pans out and becomes a HOF'er for us, and we do need S badly, so I don't hate the pick, but this one feels like a reach we didn't need to make. Was he really BPA or was he just BPA at that position?

In this case, BPA should've been the way to go.

Do they ignore NT and go Pregnon/Dunker and then Sarratt?

On the other hand, the Texans believed he was worth trading up for. And suffice it to say, they seem to have a decent eye for defensive talent.

33 years it will comeback to Pittsburgh and all those bored to tears now, will be replaced with a new group of first timers.

Why do we need a 3rd+ round WR, when we have 2 second year players working on their game the same way any WR from here on out would be doing? Or are we short on WR's on the roster?

TEs coming off the board with a lot of talent still there. Pretty interesting.

No one's saying that. It's very reasonable to say there were better players on the board that could've potentially filled a bigger need. We've seen our trenches get pushed around for years now and there was a legit DT for the taking. That's not doomsaying. It's a reasonable opinion.

Holy crap, Haulcy still on the board too. I'm hoping Raiders can somehow get Big Citrus & Hurst.

double dip at DT with G. Halten or T. Onyedim.

Also like WRs Branch & Burks. I like Burks a little more.

LB K. Louis or Hill JR would be a good pick as well. I like Louis a good bit more

Chiefs probably go Branch, as you know he's small but explosive.

It wasn't the "reasonable opinions" that I was responding to.
