It's always funny when anyone is questioned for leaving--they could have gone UDFA and it doesn't make it the wrong decision
Really happy for Strange and Scruggs. Didn't think they'd go 2nd round but here they are!
Houston even traded up a couple spots to get Juice. Must have thought someone else was on him. Great 2nd round for Penn State and the Big Ten.
Wonder if the Steelers would consider taking Dawand Jones from oh-high-ya to really bulk up OT........
I'm thinking OLB or WR at80 93

Good story with a comeback from serious auto accident; built himself back up
Ji'Ayir to the Niners--great fit for him too
4 Penn Staters off the board today--really nice
This is the stuff that truly helps recruiting.

Happy Valley Insider - Penn State's Brenton Strange and Juice Scruggs drafted in second round

No first round picks especially JPJ not going first round isn’t good for us. A lot of positives in the second round with Tig, Stange, and Juice going in the second along with JPJ which is a disappointment.
Sr. is a documented idiot. I believe JPJ takes more after his Mom.
JP Jr has said in the past that he tries to be like his father on the field, and like his mother off the field.......
Being super intense doesn't make him an idiot. Porter was as competitive a player as the Steelers ever had. He won a playoff game against Cincy when he wasn't even playing. Goating Pac Man and their other cheap shot artist into taking stupid penalties to win a game Cincy had in the bag.

After day 2, Ohio State, Michigan, Iowa, and Penn State each have had 4 players drafted.
And Porter did go 32nd, which is in the 1st round any other year.....
And obviously the Steelers looked at Porter as a 1st round choice, to turn down the packages they were offered to move down.
It’s really a perfect situation for the Steelers. A first round pick on a second round contract. Hard to beat that.
Actually, a player's compensation has as much to do with his 'slot' in the draft as his round selected.
"After the first pick the salaries will drop consistently and the 31st pick in the first round - currently Kansas City's pick - will be able to sign a deal worth around $12.75 million.
In the second round of the Draft, contracts will be worth between $6 million and $12 million."
So, the estimated difference between being last in the 1st round and 1st in the 2nd round is $750K
NFL draft and salaries
Did not know that, thought there was a drop-off after the first round. Thank you for the clarification.
Another Georgia player headed to Eagles. As an Eagles fan, I'm loving this draft. Masterclass from Howi Roseman.
Not an Eagles fan lol but he's killing it.
Carter might be the best player in the draft, Nolan Smith was great value, Steen might sit this year but starts next year then added secondary help. Can't do much better.
Would be a nice addition. But the Steelers seem to need LB's, an inside LB and a pass rusher to play behing Watt and Highsmith.
Bungles beat the Steeler to CJ....
That burns. Division rival. 1 pick before Pittsburgh next selection.
There's no LB here I'm interested in. We missed that boat when we traded down from 80 to 93 which is fine. You can get an edge here but Jones was better value than those guys. Bengals got the perfect replacement for Boyd when he leaves next year.
What happened to the 2nd pick of R5? Tracker shows it going from 1 to 3 (136 and 137 overall).
Raiders trading up to get Aiden after the other 2 went off the board starving some teams for the position.
Clifford to GB in the 5th---good for him--thought he'd be a 7th round guy
