Hypothetical. If Addison is somehow available at #32...

[Gunga_Galunga]

Kenny just said he runs a 4.3 and on a good day could clock higher.

It’s a thin WR class so jordan isnt likely to be there at 17, let alone 32. If anyone dreams of Addison wearing black and gold, they better hope JA does run the 40 and has a really bad day.

I think you’re right. He’s a 1st half of round 1 pick if he doesn’t run the 40.

If he's a legit 4.3 guy, I actually think he should run at the combine. I just don't think he is. Maybe on the southside with a stopwatch, but that's a different ballgame than the combine.

 

[Jeffburgh]

What is his 40? Is he a 4.3 guy?

I would take the over and under at 4.45.

This thread is amusing because if Addison was still at Pitt we’d see posts suggesting the Steelers trade up for Addison or run to the podium if he was there at 17.

Yep...to think that Jordan Addison will be there at 32 is a pipedream and then to think that the Steelers shouldn't do a full sprint to the podium to select him is idiotic!

And if Addison never played at Pitt, we wouldn’t even be talking about drafting a WR in the first round

Is it? Walterfootball has him going 29th to the Bills.

Technically, the second round.

Should the Steelers take him?

Addison is a top 20 player in the draft, maybe top 15 so yes they absolutely should take him if he's there at 32 (he won't be).

Not because they don't need another receiver but because the draft is thin with top wide receiver talent.

 

[wbrpanther]

I would take him in a heart beat

Instead of OL, DL, LB or Corner?? That would be insane. Their first 3 picks need to be at those positions.

And I had stir fry for dinner - so what?!

Um...if you haven’t seen the Steelers this year - they are woefully short on receiving talent.

Respectfully, the Steelers have been awful recently when it comes to drafting players at those positions. Yes, their needs are for those 4 positions. The insanity will be seeing which "no name" and/or "over-rated" players they draft. At least with WR's, the Steelers have been pretty consistent drafting plug and play picks. Addison (if available @ 32) is a no-brainer

I'd try to sign a LT who is good to protect Pickett, instead of hoping to land a good one in the draft. Not sure if a good LT will be available in FA?

Good tackles usually are not.

Yup. You can not find: Edge Rushers, Shut down corners, Left tackles or QB’s in free agency. You have to draft them. You can find everything else on the market if you have cap room.

Looks like the OT from KC did not sign an extension and will be a FA. Might be worth it for the Steelers to pay him and bring him in, and not have to worry about guessing right in the draft.
