Here’s something I didn’t know until the other day: the Patriots have six of the first 92 picks in the NFL Draft. That fact had somehow escaped me, although given Bill Belichick’s penchant for wheelin’ and dealin’, it’s not at all surprising.
But it got me to thinking: what would the Steelers do with all those selections? Fans have been begging for offensive line help every year this century, now there are also needs at defensive back, and to lesser degrees along the defensive line and at middle linebacker.

So as promised on the podcast (http://www.steelerslounge.com/2011/04/steelers-lounge-podcast-42-offseason-part-vi-dick-hoak/): the players I would draft if the Steelers had the Patriots’ first six picks.

By the way, if you’re looking to kill some time at work today (and you most certainly are), I encourage you make your own selections in the comments. It turned out to be way more entertaining than it should have been. Of course, the reality that the Steelers only have three picks, all at the end of rounds, will sober you right up, but consider this a distraction from that, and the fact that we’re still without football...........

He has around that many every year for the past several years now. He has accumulated them in previous drafts. He will either keep them, or deal down a few spots for extra picks in 2012 draft, so that way he has several picks in the first 50-75 picks to be a wheeler & dealer again. This is nothing new for him.
