So Who Will The Steelers 1st RD Pick Be ?

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

I'm sticking with Greedy.

[hawaiiansteeler]

the Steelers want Devin Bush, we just need to find a willing trading partner so we can move up and get him.

if not, whoever the BPA is on the Steelers board at one of our positions of need.

My point of this topic is take your best guess or think who they will draft Thursday. My bad and should have been more specific, So you are going with Bush ?

Brian Burns Edge FSU

Matt Gay, K, Utah

Why? The last time that we won the Super Bowl, we had a “Gay meter”. Yep. It’s science.

Darnell Savage, he's smart, a hitter and a ballhawk.

Byron Murphy

[BlackAndGold]

Had to bet money I'd go with Devin Bush but I like Savage.

Can do multiple things on defense. SPARQ athlete, playmaker with 8 interceptions in the past two years.


Yes Colbert and Tomlin were not at his pro day, mostly due to the fact the NFL annual league meeting was during the pro day. They seen him at the senior bowl and combine plus they brought him in for a pre draft visit. Also having a guy named Savage was meant to play in Pittsburgh.

and a second rounder by most publications

[Mojouw]

It is all about who falls to 1.20.

In order of the Steelers priority, I think they will work their board like this:

Pass Rusher
ILB
TE/WR
CB
Hybrid DB

And take the guy who is the highest ceiling and biggest drop-off from him to the next tier of prospects at the position.

Tomlin’s son committed to Maryland; ergo, Tomlin has been on Maryland’s campus quite a bit. I’d bet dollars to donuts that there were some “unofficial” conversations between Tomlin and the coaches.

[st33lersguy]

I'll stick with A.J Brown, they'll draft a WR high, possibly in round 1. However, rumors are buzzing more and more that it will be a DB, possibly one that isn't receiving 1st round grades even.

Steelers 2019 draft odds

By JIM WEXELL

Sometimes you nail them, like in 2011 when I had scant 3-1 odds on the Steelers drafting Cam Heyward with the 31st pick of the draft.

But sometimes you fail them. I didn't have Bud Dupree or Terrell Edmunds on the tote board at all in the years they were drafted.

Most times, though, I've had the Steelers' first-round draft pick pegged at about 8-1 odds, so that may be the place to make your money. Over the past 10 drafts, I've had Ziggy Hood, David DeCastro, Artie Burns and T.J. Watt at 8-1 odds. Ryan Shazier was 9-1 and climbing at the time he was picked.

This year figures to be as difficult as last year's, when I should've had better awareness of Edmunds at pick 28. The buzz was in the air, but I chose to ignore it the same way I'm ignoring Jerry Tillery, Noah Fant and DeAndre Baker this year. Not that there's any Steelers buzz about those three, other than they would fit.

But this year, even with the Steelers picking at a more predictable 20th spot, the chances of them trading up or down has opened up the tote board to some 40 players. That was what I took away from the Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin press conference Monday.

Colbert discussed trading up to answer the many questions about the Steelers going and getting Devin Bush or Devin White. But Colbert repeatedly gave me the vibe that he wants to trade down.

The latter makes sense because of the many defensive playmakers being graded in the 25-50 range. I can actually see a trade down and then a trade back up for a team that can definitely use all 10 of its picks, if not more, to re-stock the depth chart (and special teams) of a franchise that's been drafting 24th on average the last 10 years.

So let's get to it.

as a side note he has Byron Muphy size wrong , says he isnt even 5'11" making it sound like he is 5'10 ( he is over 5'11" ...5'11.4" basically 5'11 1/2 "( 6 tenths of an inch shy of 6 feet )

[Rotorhead]

They are going to trade the house and grab Devin White!

I think Devin White is out of reach and will cost two houses, imo Devin Bush is who they are targeting.

[BlackAndGold]

Bush is the target but I feel confident that Savage could be the guy. All Colbert and Tomlin talk about is, playmakers and sub package football. He fits both descriptions.

I agree, plus Savage has the type of position flexibility and versatility Tomlin loves. Savage would even be great covering Julian Edelman.

wouldn’t it be great if we could trade up for Devin Bush using one of our 3rd round picks this year and then trade up for Savage in the early second using next year’s 3rd round comp pick we’ll get for Leave’on Bell?

That would be the "best-best" scenario

[Hound]

Brian Burns, crazy how his combine numbers are comparable to Von Miller. David Te’ Thomas(scouts honor podcast) the draft expert said on his podcast that he could move inside and in his opinion be better than both Devins. Strange how one of the better OLB hasn’t been mentioned or brought in by the Steelers. Fingers crossed

[BlackAndGold]

Adam Schefter on ESPN just said the Steelers are trying to trade up in the top 10.

Lol you and your TE's.

They have their sights on Bush. They may get him

[teegre]

I’m not a fan of this. There’s no one in this draft that makes me say: “He’s the missing piece... he’s the one guy that I absolutely have to get.”

I’d rather trade up in R2 and/or trade away the later round picks in order to get more Day 2 picks.

[Bluecoat96]

They should in theory get a decent comp pick for Bell, so they could conceivably throw in a 2020 third or fourth round pick into the trade package to sweeten the pot.
