    2020 NFL Draft: Latest positional rankings show plenty of options for the Steelers

    The Pittsburgh Steelers might not have a first round pick, but they certainly will have options when it comes to adding quality talent to their team in the upcoming draft process.

    Interesting how they have Ben Bredeson from Michigan ranked so low and Jack Driscoll of Auburn so high. I thought Bredeson showed that he is a between the tackle mauler at the Senior Bowl. I like Driscoll, but he looked more like a tall, athletic technician at RT in the Shrine game that probably needs to bulk up and get stronger to move inside, or even be more a force at RT in the next level.

    It's going to be interesting to see his combine numbers. Not sure #1 TE potential is there.

    FYI, Hargrave has signed with The Drew.

    I officially moving interior DL to the top of the Steelers' draft needs.

    NT Nevil Gallimore, Oklahoma
    DT Ross Blackwell, TCU
    DT Raekwon Davis, Alabama

    Gallimore is the clear choice of this group. But we're going to need a quick, big ugly up front without Hargrave.

    He weighed in at 238 and ran a 4.42! I thought he would run well, but he exceeded my expectations. I already believed he was a threat down the field, but he really showed explosiveness and good hands to go with that size and the ability to make contested catches.

    Teams have been talking about drafting him as a TE, but with that speed? He has the frame to put on more weight, and remain a very athletic and fast player. He could be a matchup nightmare for defenses.

    I really like this kid and thought he could be a steal and a possibility for the Steelers. He is so physical as a blocker and WR. I thought he might go under the radar a bit, but after that 40 time.....no chance.

    The more I hear about some of these RBs that are going to be available in R2, I wouldn't mind going that way. Taylor or Dobbins would look good in Black and Gold. RB might be the best value in R2... and I see it as a position of need. What we have right now is not getting it done.

    Taylor just ran a 4.39. No way he last until out pick in round two.

    https://www.nfl.com/prospects/jonath...1-5dd6b2d0b829

    This RB class could use a bit more depth. I like JK Dobbins too. For whatever reason , this RB class lacks speed and has issues with fumbling, at least many of the top prospects. We might have to roll with Conner if the value isn't there for us in round 2-3. No reaching at RB.

    that 4.8 or whatever it was is gonna hurt his stock guess that is why he was at Dayton , shame because I read some good stuff on him but fear 4.8 is just gonna be to slow for most teams to spend any real draft capital on him
    Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles problem now

    Keep in mind that is 4.8 at 6'5" and 250lbs. That is not terrible just not WR speed. He would run mostly shallow crosses or seam routes so hopefully trying to get open against LBs. 4.8 is nothing special but not a terrible 40 time for a TE. What I like to watch is can he pass protect/pass pro and release, and how does he block in space on the move. Beyond that is how well he catches the ball. All this to say I don't think he goes until the 3rd/4th rounds but all of them are projects this year.

    Very True. Did you see that Trautman had the best 3-cone time of 6.78 seconds for TE and the 2nd best short Shuttle time of 4.27 seconds? In comparison, WR Jerry Jeudy had a short shuttle time of 4.53, WR Denzell Mims of Baylor had a 4.43 in the short shuttle.

    So a guy like Trautman is posting better short area quickness times as a 250 lb TE than most of the 190-200 lb wide receivers that run 4.4 in the 40? That is what shows up on film as what kind of a route runner he can be getting open underneath. As you say, the 4.80 isn't bad for a TE and also, he looked very fluid in receiving drills in pads a the Senior bowl, which you cant tell as much at the Underwear Olympics that is the Combine.

    I think the process of Combine, Senior Bowl, Video are all pointing to the evidence that Adam Trautman is : A big TE ,that is a good athlete that runs good routes and gets in and out of breaks well, while also being a decent blocker. The only question is his level of experience at the position and playing against top competition.

    Re: 2020 Draft Prospects Thread

    I don't believe the Steelers will select a QB in this draft but you know, never say never. Putting the 3 I find the most intriguing prospects on here. Jordan Love, Jacob Eason, and Jalen Hurts. Obviously we won't even get a sniff of Burrow, I just can't trust Tua's injury history at his size, and Fromm is a statue in the pocket and we already have one of those.

    Re: 2020 Draft Prospects Thread

    Not sure if highlights or game film would be of much interest on the "big uglies". Anyway here is a list of C/G prospects I would consider at pick #49. Some of these names may be a lower value on many big boards but considering the Steelers don't pick again until #102, these names will hold a higher value in the Steelers warroom, IMO and could very well be in play at #49.

    In no particular order but these guys are considered both C/G prospects and therefore IOL flexibility.

    1. Lloyd Cushenberry LSU
    2. Cesar Ruiz Michigan
    3. Jonah Jackson OSU
    4. Tyler Biadasz Wisconsin
    5. Matt Hennessy Temple

    I would have zero issue with any of these guys being the pick at #49 and I believe all could step in immediately if the need arose.

    I posted my top 4 Edge defenders that I think have a chance to drop. Okwara 2nd? Anae 3rd? Highsmith 4th? Garvin 5th? From what I see on their tape are guys that can win one on one against OTs, have primary rush moves and secondary counter moves at least, and show some ability to play in space. Still have to question can they hold an edge against the run. I still don't think any of these guys are round 1 talent but quality depth and special teams contributors day 1, and high ceiling prospects. There are some tweener guys, DE/OLB, that I don't think are a fit this draft. I think if the steelers go DL it will be interior DL and just not enough picks to get every position. For instance, I could see a Gallimore pick at 2 if he fell and then not taking OLB depth at all. OR getting an early/mid round OLB and looking for a Benito Jones type later. Also on the back end of the defense, I see a Safety being selected but one that can also play nickel LB role. Same on the offensive side of the ball. Need OC/OG help so this pick should be a position flexible guy. I see this being a very nuanced and interesting draft.

    Very good points. 4.27 shuttle is good for a DB, meaning he can explode side to side quickly and the cone time 6.78 shows change of direction and cutting ability when running. I believe Health Miller ran a 4.8

    If we don't pick a TE in round two, I'd be happy taking Trautman in round three. He's be worth that pick. Based on what I saw he can block and catch.

    Just google up "Adam Trautman Senior Bowl practice" and add blocking, route running, etc and you can find all you need.

    I watched the coverage that week and there were cases where the commentators, evaluators, etc said "Trautman runs routes better than some of the receivers here". "nice down block by Trautman on the D tackle", "Trautman is making a case as being the best TE here this week".

    I watched the San Diego game that you posted and pm'd Shoes a couple months ago to keep an eye out for Trautman in the process. He flashes the skills on tape, but the question was how would he do against top D1 talent and he showed the week in Mobile that he can win against them. I personally like him and Harrison Bryant the best out of FAU as potential fits for the Steelers.
