My current favorite is Tremble. I really like Eubanks and Farrell too though. I keep reading that Long is going to be'Heath-like', and I can't help but think that's a comparison that's going to end in disappointment. Kind of like the Freiermuth is 'Baby Gronk' comparison. Just not ready to buy into the hype yet.
Dane Brugler had an interesting mock.

thanks for the welcome. i am a firm believer in trading back in the draft. especially in a year like this. i don't know much about who is coming out of college but i have heard there is depth in several of the positions that the steelers need. so my theory is if the depth is there trade back if possible and acquire as many picks as possible in order to fill as many holes as possible or take multiple shots of certain holes that might be thin.

I like Reuter's mocks. He always seems tohave a "plan" for each team. For the Steelers, Reuter's "plan" is to draft guys that will help in the run game... and also, guys with whom we have met.

R1: Creed Humphrey, OC, Oklahoma
R2: Stone Forsythe, OT, Florida*
R3: Kenneth Gainwell, RB, Memphis
R4: Daelin Hayes, OLB, Notre Dame
R4: Rodarius Williams, CB, Oklahoma St.
R6: Jaylen Twyman, DT, Pitt
R7: Ty-tend Obligatory, TE, Who Cares University
R7: Scrub McFodder, S, BFE
*Forsythe has repeatedly been connected to the Steelers, even though I have never seen mention of a Zoom or the top brass ebing at his pro day
There best path to offensive success is to have the most dominant guard to guard offensive line possible. They can get by with weaker tackles due to Jackson's escapability, but they need to just dominate the interior to make their offense go.
Summation (did I get it right?): Dickerson will be a Raven.
Will we do a Steelers' mock draft contest this year? Should be incredibly difficult to predict. So many ways it could fall.
