I can’t believe Reid is still available. I think he’s better than the safety the Steelers drafted 

The safety they drafted was way early supposedly.

New browns pick also a reach per the twitter posse. I have no idea about these guys so whatever.

Chad Thomas (their 3rd round pick) produces music for Rick Ross and had to convince teams that he was committed to football. Lol  did we HAVE to draft him..?

It feels like the Steelers and ravens have had great drafts and we’ve reached on every pick.

Never understood why fans get upset about “reaching” in the draft. The guys you draft are either good or they’re not. If we reach on a player but he turns into a pro bowler is anyone going to remember that we reached on him? Lol

Well just because when you reach it means you could have gotten a better player. And better players usually mean better teams. And this team had so many holes that reaching is usually reserved for good teams who need to fill a certain hole. Not teams like us. We need better players all around. I am fine with who we got, don’t get me wrong. Just can’t help but wonder if we made some mistakes.

It's only reaching in your mind or mock drafters' minds. NFL GM's have thier own draft boards and you never know where some of these guys fall on there. 

Like I said, when you look at the 2014 NFL Draft wiki page, you don't see a little asterick next to someone's name that says "Reach"  you just see how many pro bowls they've been to or not.

So, nothing new.  Although, I have to disagree.  Not really a fan of the Ravens trading up for Lamar Jackson and I don't think Rudolph will be good at all.

I mainly agree with this, except for RBs.  It's a reach to draft them high in the first round.  I'd much rather get a pro bowler at a more valuable position and then pick a RB later, which is what I hope we did with this draft.

Yeah, unless you draft an elite RB. I’m sure NO steeler fan would complain that they drafted Leveon 10 spots ahead of where he was expected to go.

They also didn't draft him in the first round.  And as I have said before, they value him so much that still haven't offered him an extension.

I’m with you. I’m just saying if we grab a 2nd-3rd round RB and he turns into a great player, no one is going to QQ that he was a reach where we took him. 

Wasn’t the Pitts first pick a reach?

Honest question.... Are we ok with this only because Dorsey is a “football guy”? Like if Sashi made these picks you’d know we’d question the hell out of them. 

I still go back to taking ward at 4, passing on Chubb and getting this dude in the 3rd. It seems like we could have gotten Chubb at 4 and josh Jackson later. And the gap between josh Jackson and ward isn’t as great at Chubb and this Miami dude.

No one knows how these guys will do, so just let it play out. 

Callaway and Gordon? The Browns better draft a babysitter with their next pick.

I love the pick of Calloway as long as he stays clean

For me it doesn't really matter.  In the last 10+ years, there have been drafts I liked or even loved and drafts I hated.  We all know how that has turned out.  I already said fuck this "I trust dorsey" bullshit.  A gm has to earn our trust at this point, but I will give him a fair chance like I do most gms.  No sense in getting overly upset or hyped before we even see these guys play a couple seasons.

Superhugh risk high reward pick in Calloway. I’m good with it tho w a 4th. Lot of media on twitter said he was a 1st round talent. Has been training with Antonio Brown and said his new daughter changed his life. Let’s hope.
