Let's start a second draft game.

Everyone give me your first round pick. I'll give you till Wednesday. Be bold, but be honest, and let us know your reason. If its just a gut feeling, say so. Wednesday morning the player with the most votes will be the SU first round pick. From there we will go to the 2nd, 3rd, so on and so on. You will have two days per round for the 2nd,- 4th rounds, after that you have one day per round.

1st- Ras-I Dowling.

I had Dowling as a top 20-25 player before his injury. His 40 time at the combine was every bit a good as it ever has been. I think he didn't run the drills to give him more time to get stronger. I believe we will see him show off a little at the pro days.

Brandon Harris, CB, Miami, 5'10" 191lbs

Combine performance will make him a 1st round pick for the Steelers...

Going to stick with Ben Ijalana, OG out of Villanova.

Big, strong kid with a ton of experience. Will be an adjustment moving from LT to RG but I think he can do it.

I'd love for them to take a CB (Brandon Harris, Williams, Smith) but I think they'll go:

Derek Sherrod
Height: 6-6 Weight: 312

Sherrod can play tackle and guard.

One day left on the 1st round. I hope someone will break this 5 way tie. Otherwise I will probably go with the pick that is ranked closest to 31 with out going more than 2 or 3 picks above it. Which at this moment, I think, thats Sherrod.

Well it 7:00 and the polls are closed. Didn't get the turnout I hoped for, but maybe things will pick up in the second round.

There was a wide variety of thoughts but our first round pick is


Derek Sherrod - LT - Mississippi St.

Now let start on the 2nd round. Friday morning we will know who that is and will move on to the 3rd round.


Round 1 - Derek Sherrod - LT - Mississippi St.

Round 2
Kenrick Ellis - NT - Hampton. All the 1st and 2nd round CBs that excite me are gone, but there are a couple of 3rd rounders I have hopes for.

Round 2

Ras-I Dowling, CB

I would very much like this pick, but think we would need to trade up into the middle of the 2nd to get him.

Pouncey

Roudnd 2 - Chimdi Chekwa 6'0 191 4.38 speed Fits the steeler CB mold. (pre combine it would have been Johnny Patrick but his 40 time killed him)

I would think this would be a great trade-up scenario if it was available and didn't cost us too much... 2nd and 4th maybe, only bumps us 6-7 spots, but doubt I would give up a 2nd and 3rd for him to move up 12-14 spots.

Two of us voted for a CB and I think the one ranked closest to our pick is Chimi Chekwa so that will be our second pick.

Still not much traffic in here, but I won't quit as long as there are at least 3 of us. I will go to one day per pick now thought.


Round 1 - Derek Sherrod - LT - Mississippi St.
Round 2 - Chimi Chekwa - CB - Ohio St.


3rd round - Will Rackley - OG - Lehigh I still want a OG and he is the best 3rd round guard.

Rackley would be a GREAT third rounder.

Rack him up Ed.

Round 3 - Will Rackley


Wow, we're on a roll. I had a feeling Rackley was becoming a draft favorite around here. If we don't get Pouncey, Ijalana, or Cannon, I hope we can come out of this with him. Hurd could be another one to watch in the next round.

I think Hairston is a site favorite also....and as a later round OT pick, he should be!!!

Finally an easy one. Will Rackley OT from Lehigh Is our 3rd round pick.

Round 1 - Derek Sherrod - LT - Mississippi St.
Round 2 - Chimi Chekwa - CB - Ohio St.
Round 3 - Will Rackley - OG - Lehigh


Round 4 - Ian Williams - DT - ND, I flip flop between him and Fue but Williams had a little better production even missing 4 game.

Just checked and the player projected closest to our pick is Ian Williams. I think I would be happy with any of the player mentioned.

Round 1 - Derek Sherrod - LT - Mississippi St.
Round 2 - Chimi Chekwa - CB - Ohio St.
Round 3 - Will Rackley - OG - Lehigh
Round 4 - Iam Williams - NT - ND



Round 5 - Martin Parker - DT/DE - Richmond.

Got to admit, I gave the TE from Portland St. a lot of thought here.

Pouncey

It would be awesome if we had 2 Pouncey's as steeler players.. But I think he will be drafted earlier!!

I'm pretty sure your right. A few of us don't think he will get past Philadelphia in the 1st round.

Round 5 - Chris Hairston OT

I like Harrison Aussie, but Parker is ranked a little higher


Round 1 - Derek Sherrod - LT - Mississippi St.
Round 2 - Chimi Chekwa - CB - Ohio St.
Round 3 - Will Rackley - OG - Lehigh
Round 4 - Iam Williams - NT - ND
Round 5 - Martin Parker - DT - Richmond




If anyone wants to keep this going make the 1st pick.
