Fragen und Antworten » Who did AFC North foes add to become future villains

for Steelers Nation?"The third day of the NFL draft brought even more Pittsburgh Steelers for Steeler Nation to cheer for. The list includes a punishing rusher Rod Woodson Jersey , a couple of sack masters and a 6’8” TE. But with that, it serves up more players to serve as instant rivals to boo. Here’s who each team welcomed to oppose Pittsburgh as new members of the AFC North. Baltimore RavensGM Eric DeCosta continued to upgrade the offense in a big way. The Ravens got even speedier with Justice Hill and added, not just a backup QB, but a possible offensive weapon in Penn State’s Trace McSorley. All in all, it was a pretty solid first draft for DeCosta. Ravens have the potential to be epic on offense, but their defense was pretty close to being ignored.Round 4 Pick 113RB Justice Hill - Oklahoma State Round 4 Pick 123OL Ben Powers - Oklahoma Round 4 Pick 127CB Iman Marshall - USCRound 5 Pick 160DL Daylon Mack - Texas A&MRound 6 Pick 197QB Trace McSorley - Penn StateCleveland Browns After so many years of appropriately being labeled so Franco Harris Jersey , the Browns are working hard to no longer be mistakes by the lake. After no First Round selections, GM Phillip Dorsey looked to follow up a solid Day 2 by bolstering their defense. The Browns picked up Mack Wilson, who could be a find in Round 5 and added to an already strong secondary.

It was kind of an underwhelming draft up top for Cincy, but they added decent depth on Day Three.oRound 4 Pick 104QB Ryan Finley - North Carolina StateRound 4 Pick 125DL Renell Wren - Arizona StateRound 4 Pick 136OL Michael Jordan - Ohio StateRound 6 Pick 182RB Trayveon Williams - Texas A&MRound 6 Pick 210LB Deshaun Davis - AuburnRound 6 Pick 211RB Rodney Anderson- OklahomaRound 7 Pick 223CB Jordan Brown - San Diego StateHow many of the above will haunt the dreams of Steeler Nation and who? That question will take a bit to be answered. But to quote Timbuk3 from 1986 Dermontti Dawson Jersey , “The Future’s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades”.7 Winners and 1 Loser after the Steelers’ 39-24 win over the Panthers The Pittsburgh Steelers won their third and final, meaningless game on Thursday by defeating the Carolina Panthers 39-24 in Week 4 of the NFL Preseason. While the outcome of the game means nothing in terms of the team’s standing heading into the regular season, many players are on the field trying to make plays to secure a spot on the team’s 53-man roster. During this process, some perform well while others who fall short of the standard. This is where the Winners and Losers column comes in. After the game, when the dust settles Chris Boswell Jersey , we decipher who falls into which category. As always, feel free to comment on the list in the comment section below. Be a part of the conversation!WinnersJoshua DobbsDobbs did what he had to do in making it a tough decision for the Steelers concerning whether to release him, also improving his stock with other NFL teams in the process. Kudos to him for a great preseason, and now it’s time to see how things shake out this weekend:Mason RudolphFor as shaky as Rudolph was at times this preseason, he looked the part of a competent backup during his time with the Steelers’ offense vs. the Panthers. Poised and in control — even showing a little push back after a questionable hit on his run for a two-point conversion — I like this kid’s future, and you should too.Matthew ThomasIf Thomas hadn’t solidified his spot on the 53-man roster yet Merril Hoge Jersey , which seemed clear before this game, he certainly did so after his strip-sack and near-TD return. The play showcased his tremendous athleticism and play-making ability — something this Steelers’ defense lacks. Thomas will play a role on the team this year.Tevin JonesJones might not have made the team with his performance, but he might have made the practice squad. Jones’ two — should have been three — touchdown catches showed some promise.Justin HunterWhen it comes to the Steelers’ WR depth, Hunter is a part of this group. He made some nice plays on Thursday night, and he’s starting to show some consistency, which has been the biggest knock on him so far. This is great news for the everyday offense.Overall Depth From offensive line to defensive line and beyond Mark Barron Jersey , the Steelers’ have some quality depth. Sure there are thin spots like inside linebacker and tight end, but fans should be pleased generally with the performance throughout the preseason and realize this organization is still good at drafting and selecting players.Football FansThe preseason is over. Time for the real football to start in just over a week. Football fans rejoice!LosersInjuriesNot every player is capable of making the 53-man roster, but you hate to see injuries get in the way of a player making a roster somewhere. Malik Golden’s knee injury personified just how fragile a player’s chances are, and he wasn’t the only player injured. It’s part of the game, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it. This was the only loser for me after preseason Week 4 — time to bring on the regular season!
