The exact science or shall I say the inexact science of professional sports drafts. In the NFL people in the know will always say we have our targets or we have ten special players in this draft we have in our top 10 in order and without drafting needs we will grab that one player that is in that top 10.
Looking even closer all 32 teams in the NFL have needs but needs are based on that 53-man roster moving forward or that one piece they think can put them over the top as you will hear the term used often," he is a plug and play guy" which mean a day one starter you put him in and the transition is seamless.
Well that Pittsburgh Steelers 2k17 NFL Draft with Steelers GM Kevin Colbert and the Steelers draft scouts targeted three players and they hit not one not two but three grand slams on these three:
OLB T.J. Watt #90
#AWholeBunchOfBadgers Pick #30 (Rd 1)
The Steelers needed an outside backer as they missed on former fist rounder Jarvis Jones and folks have to remember the abrupt retirement of one Jason Worilds from "Beamer Ball" Blacksburg dba VA Tech Football. Watt has been everything the Steelers thought and more as he has been at times the best Red Jersey Collector on that 53-man roster.
WR Ju Ju Smith-Schuster #19
#FightOn Pick #62 (Rd 2)
An All-American Safety out of famed Long Beach CA Poly turned WR at Southern Cal and was at times the key cog in that passing attack at USC that had Jags WR Marquise Lee and Eagles WR Nelson Agholor...yes that talented. Ju Ju was the Slot WR (Y) and played X and Z (WR1 and WR2) and excelled at all three. You will hear Steelers QB Big Ben Roethlisberger say he was ready coming out of college knowing the Route Tree as he played all three slots at #FightOn!.
Note: Steelers 2k18 2nd Rd Pick WR James Washington is just now starting to play more because at Oklahoma State he played WR1 and that's it and the way the R.P.O. College Passing Attack is the route tree is not taught in its entirety like college teams who run somewhat of a pro-style attack. Washington had to learn the route tree and it will take sometime that's why he is now being implemented in the line-up!
RB James Connor #30
#Pitt Pick #105 (Rd 3)
There is no denying his talent and before that serious ACL Injury and Cancer Treatment (2 major setbacks) many scouts had this young guy in that first round heap. An old school punishing runner who learned so much his rookie season from one Le'Veon Bell you can see it transformed in his game. What surprises not the Steelers but opponents in 2k18 is Conner's "Make you miss Ability" as most thought he was a A-Gap B-Gap Runner and he his but has some wiggle in space and surprising 2nd level get up! (ACC M.V.P. as a Sophomore RB 26 TDs)
Current Numbers Overall NFL Rank ( ) in 2k18 from #90 #19 #30
#90 Watt (Tied 4th) Red Jersey Collections 10 also had 36 solo Tckls 13 Asst 49 combined
#19 Smith-Schuster (12th) 64 grabs (12th) 866 yds
#30 Connor (5th) 173 att (4th) 796 rush yds (3rd) 10 TDs (6th) 1,207 scrimmage yds
