Who could be available in the next draft and who could help the Steelers, whether this is in the first or second round?

Jack Campbell Iowa, 6'5"-245LBs.
Tommy Eichenberg OSU, 6'2"-240LBs.
Drew Sanders Arkansas, 6'4"-245LBs.
Noah Sewell Oregon, 6'3"-250LBs.
I can't meet your 1st/2nd round requirement just yet. Still a lot of testing needed. These 4 ILBs meet the size and physicality I would like to see at this position though.
Depends on where we land in the upcoming draft. If Sewell is there then grab him but that’s a long shot. I’m going trenches with my first pick if Porter is gone. I’m taking LB with one of my 2nd round picks. If Sanders is there I’m taking him with one of my 2nd’s. Love the kid from Baylor, Ika to plug in the middle as a run stuffer. There are a few scenarios but I have my guys who I like in fall back situations during the draft.Quote:

He will be at the Senior Bowl.Quote:

Smith played at OLB/Edge at GA and is considered a very strong run defender that needs to develop as a pass rusher. My immediate thought is Lawrence Timmons 2.0. Maybe not a 1st round guy like Timmons but a real value at 31-40, IMO.
Smith is gonna be a heck of a player he just needs a little time to finish putting it all together and I do not think he has as far to go as many seem to think and I to am an advocate of kicking him inside to take advantage of that thumper mentality he has and he has enough speed and athleticism to play sideline to sideline and a frame that would let him pack on 10-15 more pounds without hurting his quickness IMO...Quote:

Pretty early in the evaluation process for me, but I'm really starting to lean towards Drew Sanders if they take one early. 17 is too early for me, but the 2nd round seems like a good fit.
Patrick Queen went 28 a couple years ago, and I don't see Sanders on that level, but every year is different.
Nice :nod:Quote:

I'm actually starting to think this could be the pick at 17. The DB class is really deep this year. The OT class is not so deep but the IOL class seems to be. Jack Campbell is huge, moves well in space and coverage, and is one of the best tacklers in college football.
I like him too but not at pick #17! In round three, heck yes.Quote:

He sure would be on my chalkboard!Quote:

With the recent signings at ILB we now have a room of Marcus Robinson, Cole Holcomb, and Elandon Roberts. I don't 'think' those signings are to keep Campbell, Sanders, or Sewell as high priority. I am still leaning toward Nolan Smith, Trenton Simpson, or SirVocea Dennis as possible draft targets. Going to need to dig a little deeper into the draft pool.
I would follow the Aaron Curry trail, but other than a mid-rounder in Dorian Williams (Tulane), he went to Wisconsin a week later possibly to see Nasty Nate's younger brother Nick Herbig who at 6'2" 240 may be viewed as an ILB after playing OLB for the Badgers.
I think the 3rd or 4th round will go towards an ILB pick unfortunately as I like Campbell or Sanders, and they'll go way earlier than that.
Scout Kelvin Fisher has also been at a lot of the LBers Pro Days and he came from the west coast tour to Iowa. Field of Dreams tour? Maybe.
Or he wanted to see Jack Campbell in person after seeing the others.....
