2009 NFL Draft Open Thread - Round 3

Big opportunity for the Steelers in Round 3 today. They possess the 15th pick in this round (#79), the 20th pick (#84), and the 32nd and final pick of the 3rd Round as well (#96). Should be fast and furious fun.

Happy Saturday.

Hey, Chad gave us a couple really good years, then he signed the big contract and mailed it in.

It's true what they say...Even the NFL's Big Wigs hate the Steelers. On the plus side, I can now tell my future grand kids about Hines Ward and how the NFL made rules because of him. Roger Goodell, you make me sick.

Mike Mickens What's wrong with Mike Mickens???

Rather have an offensive lineman.

I guess so but man oh man

Mickens would’ve been a great pick. Sigh, Fenuki Tupou anyone? I’m good with this draft if we get another offensive lineman and Frank Summers

Needs getting filled

DL – got one
OL – got one
WR (speedy and can return) – got one
CB – got one

Are we lucky that value was available at the positions that we needed, OR is the benefit of smart trading, OR are we stretching a bit, OR …

SteelCityInsider's Frank Tursic

Had Keenan Lewis on the “Do not draft” list, saying he’s a press corner only and not a tackler. For what it’s worth.

by syrsteelerfan on Apr 26, 2009 12:10 PM EDT reply actions  

I had thought of him as a good pick but then decided

that I liked Mike Thomas better. After I heard Mayock’s analysis I’m impressed.

Keenan Lewis, CB, Oregon State

from nfl.com

Teammate Brandon Hughes might get more attention, but opponents chose not to throw to Lewis’ side of the field, limiting his playmaking opportunities. He was honorable mention All-Pac-10 in 2008 with three interceptions and eight pass breakups. For his career, he has six interceptions and 29 breakups. A 45-game starter, Lewis has the experience in the pass-happy Pac-10 to be able to make an early contribution to an NFL franchise. Blessed with a long, lanky build, strong hand punch and an explosive burst to close, Lewis is well-suited to the aggressive man-to-man schemes Oregon State prefers. He lacks the eye-popping athleticism and gaudy interception totals to warrant a first-round pick, but could ultimately be a better NFL corner than players drafted ahead of him.

Now i'm looking for us to try to use one of those 7th's

to move up into the late 4th or more likely early 5th. Developmental tackle and DL prospects there.

Well if there is a team to that can teach him how too, we have it!

Here is what Pro Football Weekly Said

Not tough or physical. Will not tackle his own shadow. Often late to support the run. Struggles to mirror receivers at the top of routes. Marginal ball skills. Cannot play off coverage. Average instincts and feel for the game. Does not make many plays.

Guess what

Keenan Lewis just said he and Mike Wallace were best friends growing up. There’s a story right there.

We don’t have a round 4. Rd3. Pick 32 was only 4 from being round 4. Interesting pick though. Must have seen something in him they liked.

by OHSteelerfan on Apr 26, 2009 12:26 PM EDT up reply actions  

I don’t think there is a lot of pressure on him right away.

With Gay playing so well last year and the guy we picked up he’s got some time to develop.

Never saw anyone here mention the possibility of getting Parrish from the Bills

Mike Wallace nixes it, and might be better not doubting him, but Parrish has already proven he can play. Anyone hear if the Bills were asking way too much?

Overall, looking pretty good. Addressed the needs, and I won’t second guess the Steelers’ and Colbert’s decisions.

from the 08' 53 man roster

The Steeler’s lost an OT, OG, DE, CB, S, WR, and RB. So far they have drafted a DE, OG/T, WR/kr, and a CB/FS. The Steelers have 5 picks left. So far they are filling holes at great draft value. Who is next?

by SteelBuckeye on Apr 26, 2009 1:26 PM EDT reply actions  

possible OL picks

Meredith, Johnson, & Robinson dropping like rocks. Majority thought they would go in 1st three rounds. Interesting

I believe we are doing a great job so far.

Wish i had the NFL Network… hate ESPN. all they’ve done all day is discuss the genius of Belicheat and the Patsies. Not a single discussion about what the NFL Super Bowl champs have done.

by Hypocycloid on Apr 26, 2009 1:56 PM EDT reply actions  

Surprised Meredith and Robinson still there

I had my eye on Duke for round 2, and then when we traded I thought maybe both Duke and Meredith, yet both are still there in round 5. I wouldn’t mind trading up in Round 5 to get one of those 2 for some more competition on the OL.
