Stuff that happened 30+ years ago obviously is not germane to this discussion.

That had to be a hard decision to take Mims. With Hubbard coming off injury and Hendrickson asking for a trade (Verse). Tee asking for a trade (Thomas). A quality CB still on the board (Mitchell). Another decent OT on the board (Fautanu).

Just couldnt hate the Mims pick

Steelers just picked a guard, not an OT. He is not projected to be a RT or LT in the NFL.

Hope I’m wrong but I just don’t believe in Pollack.

Then Pollack is the problem, not the Mims pick. 

And no matter who we picked, Trent Brown was still the short term starter.

1 more Offensive Tackle in the 1st ties the record 2 breaks it. I called it back in November lol.

Umm only start 8 games. And evidently play only 15 snaps in the biggest game of the year….while not being injured. There’s your answer.

You do realize he isn't a project? Projects are players with red flags (he has none) and/or raw (he isn't). His collegiate pass protection was perfect. He just lacks as many starts as the others.

Mims shares a story about his visit to Cincinnati and Zac Taylor standing up at the board talking about how he wants winners on the OL.

You can hear it in his voice, that message has an impact on him.

Random thought: I wonder what Fred thinks of the pick.

He was a stud last year when starting we needed a OT but knew we could ease them in so for FO they had him high on board and after his play  .

Steelers have guards they need Offensive Tackle and Center. Fautanu is a Tackle.

[wanga]

Happy they went this way. I thought they’d go Thomas for sure.

[Destro]

Can we draft an O-Line coach?

[Joelist]

Mims is obviously going to be groomed to be the RT next season and likely will be starting by the end of this season.

Second round I hope is DT.

Totally clueless post. Might want to do your research before making ignorant post...
