so many have us taking hightower that i don't think it'll happen now for sure

I could really see us going a number of directions in the first round at this point.

Dont'a Hightower, John Martin, Mychal Kendricks, Bobby Massie, Nick Perry, Kendall Wright, Kevin Zeitler, Stephen Hill, Peter Konz, Jerel Worthy, Coby Fleener, Josh Chapman, Andre Branch... These are all possibilities. And there are probably about ten more I could list. But at this point it's time to finish the speculation regarding the talent of players and wait to see how everything plays out. Who knows who eventually ends up being within our reach when tomorrow night rolls around.

It will certainly be a fun, interesting night.

I'm hearing a lot more news lately of him being gone before our pick, with the possibility of the Ravens trading up before us to take him. If he is gone, I'd like to see an OG drafted. I can only dream that DeCastro would drop to us.

04-25-2012, 06:26 PM
They probably take an OLB or a TE or some other position they don't need. Peter Konz might be the best player at a critical position of need if he can play guard

If the Steelers were to trade up, then I want them to trade up to take DeCastro from Stanford. I don't feel that there is another player worth moving up for in the first round for the Steelers.

If the Steelers stay at #24 (which is what I think they will do) then I want them to either take Hightower (if he's there) or the best guard prospect available (Konz or Zeitler).

If you're referring to Chapman's torn ACL, that's well-known. His agent said this, so take it with a grain of salt, but he is expected to be ready by training camp.

The draft is 25% skill, 25% luck & 50% hype. "Jamarcus Russell could be a top 5 QB in a couple of seasons." OMG, he held up the Raiders and now he is a dumb, fat punk who will never do anything meaningful in his life again and he still hasn't reached 25 years old.

Without the ACL injury I think he is a 1st round pick, but I do look for him to slide.

With the 1st round climbers I think someone is going to slide and foul everyone mock drafts up. I have been hearing Glenn or DeCastro. I hope that is true.

Depends on how you look at it. Drafting Clairborne moves Sheldon Brown to FS...which allows TJ Ward to play in the box...which helps the run defense. Still wouldn't want it though. Then again, I'd rather see us trade down a few spots and pick up a 2nd rounder (or more). :D

It's stupid because they need a RB much more than a CB.

They'll take Claiborne. With him and Finnegan, they've got 2 very good CBs. The Rams have 2 2nd round picks where they can get a WR. They also have 2 first round picks in each of the next two years. They're not turning that team around in two years so they have to build gradually.

Please dont jinx it. I think if Martin is there, he plays RT for a year. He's a bit more raw than you like to start right away, but has the tools to be a solid LT, while Gilbert can play RT long term. Although, the knock on him is he isnt a great run blocker, but I dont buy that.
