    Philly is on the clock...

    Over at Steelers Fever, every year, hawaiiansteeler & I would coordinate a "Steelers Fever Consensus Mock Draft".

    We would start with the first pick... with a thread, a poll, and a discussion. The poll/thread would be up for 12 hours, and then, we'd move on to the next team. So on & so forth until we would get to Pittsburgh's selection, where the poll would stay open for several days.

    Why??? This will allow for us to get a sense of who might ACTUALLY be there at pick #25. No joke: we've come pretty close every single year. Have fun with it.

    So... as not to break tradition...
    "First Annual Steelers Universe Consensus Mock Draft".

    1. TENN: Laremy Tunsil, LT, Mississippi
    2. CLEV: Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota St.
    3. SD: Jalen Ramsey, FS, Florida St.
    4. DAL: Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio St.
    5. JAX: Myles Jack, LB, UCLA
    6. BAL: Vernon Hargresves III, CB, Florida
    7. SF: Jared Goff, QB, Berkeley
    8. PHI:

    Philadelphia is on the clock... and will be on the clock until around 12:00 midnight (EST).

    Re: Philly is on the clock...

    Elliott is the best fit. If I'm Philly, I just plain out suck next season and draft Watson.

    Watson & Elliott would be a good QB/RB combo.
    1. Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia 2. Zach Frazier, C, West Virginia 3. Roman Wilson, WR, Michigan 3. ​Renardo Green, CB, FSU 4. Mo Kamara, OLB, Colorado State 6. Logan Lee, DT, Iowa 6.Khristian Boyd, NT, Northern Iowa

    Elliott all the way. An immediate answer to a glaring hole that they created for themselves.

    6-0 lead for Elliott already, makes sense considering their failed DeMarco Murray experiment.

    we may be able to close this poll soon also and move on to Tampa Bay...

    Re: Philly is on the clock...

    This is a very intriguing pick, IMO. Philly has several needs and no 2nd round pick. Elliot would fill a need but is that the 'homerun' pick the Eagles need to make here? Buckner is the closest to a sure thing on the board. The Eagles need pass rush help like just about every other team and they have to be thrilled he is still available.
    I vote DeForest Buckner is the Eagles' pick.

    After the DeMarco Murray experiment failed, Zeke Elliot will not pass by Philly. Honestly though, I expect a trade up

    I should have been clearer, I expect the Eagles to trade up. I heard somewhere that their GM likes to trade up, plus with the way the Eagles have been dealing, it wouldn't surprise me any

    Elliot. Even if they throw the house to get another team's pick and draft one of the top 4 QB's, their running game needs to sustain them. and none of their RBs can handle the load right now. Ryan Matthews might, but he's hardly ever healthy

    I expect the Eagles to do something in the form of a trade. If they pull off a trade, they could possibly try to get a quarterback. If they stay put, I think they are most likely to take Ezekiel Elliot.

    I think they'll take Zeke.

    This is worth posting here. Not sure if it is true, but they did try to trade up from 20 to the Titans pick at 2 last year in a deal that included Cox, and 8 to 1 is more realistic than 20 to 2.
