The Jets are on the clock...

The Jets are on the clock...

Over at Steelers Fever, every year, teegre & 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".

[Mods, we don't want to garbage up the front page. Please, move/erase the Bills thread.]

[SteelMember]

Someone should be trading up with Treadwell still available... Vikings maybe. If the Jets stay put, I'll say they take one of the CB's... Eli Apple

[Dwinsgames]

Hard not to say Apple ( in the big Apple) but I may be in the minority here but lets face it they do not have a QB even if they find a way to come to terms with Fitz he is really just a very good backup and not a starter in this league ... so I went with the best option at QB on the board and arguably in the draft with Cook .

I know all the others get more praise and hype but he is the only 1 of this group that has year in year out WON at a high level program vs solid competition and at the end of the day I want a winner playing QB for me , Cook is that guy

[steelreserve]

They need a pass rusher, so Spence is my #1 possibility as the best one of those left. Wouldn't be surprised if it was Apple, though.

Good thing they signed McLendon, or this would be a DT for sure. Still a chance of that, though, since he's on the downhill side of his career and there are a lot of good ones still on the board.

I also would call an outside chance of Hunter Henry, as I believe TE is one of their weak spots. Probably not here, though.

I actually figured Cook would be ranked much higher before the year began. Then it was all about "why aren't you a captain" questions. Go figure.

[Born2Steel]

Jets' Oline needs will have to wait. They could go TE here. From what I have read they have a huge need at LB, inside and outside. BPA of who do they like better. Floyd, Spence, or Ragland.

The NY Jets select Noah Spence.

[BlackAndGold]

Deciding between Spence or Ragland.

Heard Spence could fall to round 2.

[Psycho Ward 86]

I got Ragland. They already drafted Jace Amaro early not long ago so i dont see tight end. Brandon Marshall and Decker make up arguably the best receiving tandem and Matt Forte is back there so they arent really short on weapons. I can see them trying to trade back up to get Cook later, kind of like the vikings did for Bridgewater if i recall correctly? Their Dline can do it all so i dont think they're too worried about not being able to rush the passer

[teegre]

Lynch goes one pick before them... OUCH!!!

How is Treadwell still there???

Floyd or Ragland... which one?... which one???

[Born2Steel]

Looks like they have NEED at all LB spots. Any of Ragland, Spence, Floyd make sense here. If they do plan on trading back up for Cook or a QB, they may take Treadwell now to add weapons. We know they will get OLine later.

[hawaiiansteeler]

Lynch goes one pick before them... OUCH!!!

How is Treadwell still there???

Houston and Minnesota at #22 & 23 are both great candidates to go WR in Round 1...

[Psycho Ward 86]

none of the teams yet seem to have an incessant need to take receiver in such a weak class. Skins are up next and their defense still has a lot of holes in the 2ndary. They have plenty of weapons so they seem unlikely. Texans are probably the first ones that will prioritize. And even then, i think they pick Will Fuller and diversify their receiving corps. They already have some big bodies to throw to. Time for another game breaker to pair with Hopkins and take advantage of the efficacy of play action because of Lamar Miller

I've also seen a lot of mocks that have the Texans taking WR Corey Coleman or WR Josh Doctson.

I think Treadwell's best chance to get drafted is with the Vikings...

[polamalubeast]

I think Laquon Treadwell will be drafted by the saints.

[hawaiiansteeler]

I think Laquon Treadwell will be drafted by the saints.

the vast majority of mock drafts have the Saints selecting either DTs Sheldon Rankins or A'Shawn Robinson or DE Shaq Lawson...

[Born2Steel]

Treadwell....Big receiver, very physical, good hands, average top speed, excellent route runner, willing to go get the ball and fight for it,...sounds like a Saints pick doesn't he. I don't think he makes it that far though honestly. I think he could go anywhere in the 7-15 area.

[pczach]

I went with Reggie Ragland ILB, AL.

I just think with the talent on the board, that this addresses the team needs best with the value of the pick.

With Lynch gone, the Jets will have to draft a QB later.

[Mojouw]

Nghalk;jsfl;kasjflaksjdfalksjf or whatever at DT. They then trade Wilkerson for a bevy of picks, etc.

[st33lersguy]

Treadwell slips to no. 22 to the Texans in this scenario. The Redskins have weapons and won't be looking WR but the Texans could use someone across Hopkins and Treadwell is a steal who fills a need.

BTW: a proposed option for pick 21, Vikings leapfrog Texans and take Treadwell. Vikings are desperate for a WR as well, and Washington can acquire an additional pick and still get a nice DT which is what they will likely be targeting

HYPOTHETICAL:
Laquon Treadwell is there at 25. Do you take him?

[Dwinsgames]

HYPOTHETICAL:

no .

sure its great value but a pick is only truly as valuable as his contributions and on THIS 2016 Steelers roster he would be without a helmet on most Sundays and if he gains one that means Coates is not getting his .

[Born2Steel]

HYPOTHETICAL:
Laquon Treadwell is there at 25. Do you take him?

I'm thinking about it. Definitely not going to dismiss him just because we have AB, Wheaton, and Coates. Bryant is gone for now, and 1 more he's gone forever, IMO. I would have to consider it. A lot depends on what the board looks like at 25, obviously. Does he come in and start over Coates? I think he would. Upgrade is upgrade.

[st33lersguy]

HYPOTHETICAL:
Laquon Treadwell is there at 25. Do you take him?

Hypothetically speaking, no. Need to upgrade the defense. Not worried about it though since he never makes it past Houston or Minnesota

[teegre]

no .

Good point.

Counterpoint:
Treadwell would replace Bryant. The Steelers usually dress 5 WRs...
AB, Treadwell, Wheaton, Coates, DHB.

hell no. i would try to fleece a team into trading up with us though for more picks

That's sort of where I'm leaning, too...

Who kept Coates from a Helmet last year ?

this getting old shit is for the birds I can not think for the life of me who kept him from dressing on Sundays until the end of the year ???

[Dwinsgames]

DHB???????


The power of special teams........

DHB will be dressing this year as well ..

Coates in Bryant out ... where is the room for Treadwell ?

was thinking we only dressed 4 WR a game and 3 TE , 2 FB , cant think for the life of me who WR #5 was to change my thinking
