It’s always a bitter pill when you have to let a high draft pick go. It signals several different things and none of them are good. With Le’Veon Bell returning to the Steelers today, the front office must cut loose a current player on the roster in order to stay at the 53-man level. While I’ve heard some calls for Roosevelt Nix, I think it’s time to finally admit that Dri Archer wasn’t what they thought was.
Through the first two games, Archer has returned one kick for a total of 22 yards. His action yesterday against the 49ers involved him turning around to see the kickoff sail over his head.
