    24. Pittsburgh Steelers -- Dontari Poe, DT, Memphis
    Nose tackle Casey Hampton is 34 and will likely have knee surgery. The 6-5, 350-pound Poe is cut out of the same mold and should be a strong force in the middle of a 3-4 line.

    Hopefully a guard or nose tackle. I won't have a problem with inside linebacker

    #24 candidates at the moment include:

    O line - Peter Konz, Cordy Glenn, Zebrie Sanders & Brandon Washington
    D Line - Dontari Poe
    LB - Donta Hightower, Zach Brown & Whitney Mercilus
    WR - Mohammed Sanu & Alshon Jeffrey
    CB - Janoris Jenkins, Chase Minnifield & Stephon Gilmore
    RB - Lamaar Miller

    I think Upshaw, Worthy and a few others are gone.

    I would take Peter Konz from that list

    I would love it bud, but I think both the Stanford O-linemen are gone in the 1st 15 pick.

    DeCastro would be nice, too.

    Since we're dreaming, how about both?

    I'd love DeCastro, but last time I checked, he is staying for his senior year, but I could be wrong.

    If Colbert is eying extra picks, acquire an extra 1st and 3rd from a team trying to sign Mike Wallace and not match the offer.
    Then pull a possible Polamalu type trade up (from the 27th spot to the 16th)

    Then I’d target Stephen Hill – 6’5’’ – Georgia Tech – (aka the next Limas Sweed) with one of the 3rd round picks.
    Receiving corp is Brown , Sanders, Cotchery , Hill, Ward

    I posted this at another site in relation to trading Wallace for the rights to draft DeCastro. I said that I would trade Mike Wallace straight up for the rights to select David DeCastro. It directly relates to your post Steelreal


    I believe the Steelers would trade Mike Wallace for the rights to draft David DeCastro based on the information below.

    1. Mike Wallace is a Restricted Free Agent this year. The steelers front office has had the chance to offer him Contract 2. They havent.

    2. He will be offered the highest level RFA tender which equates to approximately $2.5 million dollars and a 1st and 3rd round tender for
    another team to gain his rights. Yes the steelers have the right to match but that is risky. Thus they are prepared to take this risk

    3. Currently we are sitting at #24 in the draft. Using most draft trade value charts this pick equates to 740 points. The 3rd round pick equates to 150 points. At 890 points
    Mike Wallace can be had for the equivalent of the #18 draft pick

    4. All good judges admit that David DeCastro will be a top 15 pick. That equates to 1000 points plus.

    5. Using that draft logic the Steelers front office ( at this point time, unless a contract is offered to Mike Wallace) would be prepared to consider the option of letting Mike Wallace go for the equal value of David DeCastro.

    6. Therefore leaving the draft in April you could theoretically have

    David DeCastro
    1. #24 Donta Hightower ILB
    2. #56 Josh Chapman NT
    3. #88 Kevin Zeitler OG
    4. #110 George Iloka FS
    5. #142 Jarius Wright WR Arkansas 5'10 180" 4.34 speed
    6. Who ever you want from here to fill any other holes
    I wouldnt be drafting the next Limas Sweed. I would be trying to find the next Mike Wallace / Antonio Brown. You dont need to draft the next Limas Sweed because I believe he will be back at training camp this year competing for a spot ( if healthy)

    I like the idea even if it were a top 10 talent that slid and we trade the #24th to move up. Colbert put most of the cap money on the defensive side of the ball last season for a reason, The offense has to suffer some kind of loss and its Mike Wallace or the Oline,

    I say we go best available at 24... or TRADE DOWN and have the luxury of having first rounders for the next five years. Aka. What the pats do every year

    Not trading.

    I am suggesting that as a restricted free agent I am willing to see if anyone makes him an offer.

    Wallace is going to be a free agent and he is going to command big money ( as he thinks that he is top 5). The restricted free agent tag may actually work in the teams favour in a number of ways

    1. If a team offers Wallace top 5 receiver money and it is more than you are prepared to pay you let him walk and you collect a 1st and a 3rd
    2. If a team offers Wallace top 15 receiver money then you offer the sheet and get him to a reasonable contract
    3. If no teams make an offer you have him on board for $2.5 million and you get a year to negotiate. You remind him that if he was a top 5 receiver why the hell didnt 27 teams line up to sign him as a RFA

    All three scenarios work in the steelers favour.
    NOTE if you had balls of steel you would only offer him the mid RFA tender that was a sole first round pick and slightly less money. Now that would scare the shit out of him).

    Another perspective

    http://bleedblackandgold.com/blog/20...-for-steelers/


    Other teams forums are already talking about Wallace being potentially available. It could become a reality

    I don't know Limas is 27 injury riddled compared to a 20 year old Raw talent in Stephen Hill

    I would add OT Mike Adams to that list...it wont be too long before Zebrie Sanders starts sliding, and Adams works his way up to the top of the 2nd or the bottom of the first. I have NO idea how a scout can rate Sanders higher than Adams. Adams is a LT prospect who has great knee bend and is more athletic. Sanders is a waist bending RT who seems slow to me.

    I am starting to play with Poe in the 1st, but you know me, it would be very hard for me to pass on a lagitimate LT like Adams when the pick is actually made. When I look hard at this draft Ta'amu within reach in the 2nd, a player how's strengths are just what the Steelers ask their NTs to do, and players like Silatolu, Zeitler, and Kelemete likely there in the 3rd.

    I'm also starting to lean toward George lloka in the 4th. I love Eddie Whitley, but lloka has the. size and speed I like in a FS

    I'm not sure how that works, but the Mocks I have seen posted today still have Denver picking one spot behind us.

    They may not have fixed it since the weekend. But the way I understood it is that the playoff teams go in the order of their records (except the SB teams) not in the order of elimination. I would love to have the 24th or higher pick...but I have a feeling we may end up in the 26-28th range when its all said and done.

    That's how it's used to be. Now it depends on what round you were eliminated then record. The Steelers locked up the 24th pick last Sunday and that is the pick they hold until they trade it away
