Get ready to laugh, here is MY Steeler 7 round Mock Draft!

[LLT]

Just my two cents...all things being even, a big technically sound defensive lineman will beat a small technically sound offensive lineman more often than not.

Hudson's best chance in the pros is as a center for a team like the Bears...perhaps because they have had a great deal of success with Olin Kreutz who is virtually the same player as Hudson. Kreutz plays at about 6'2 295 lbs and has been solid enough to make 6 Pro Bowls BUT the Bears know exactly what they have in Kreutz, and they scheme to have a guard help him with the big uglies like Hampton.

Kreutz is a superb technician who will always need that help with that big and experienced NT....because , like I said, a big techinically sound defensive lineman will beat a small technically sound offensive lineman more often than not.

I think Hudson has a chance of going to the Chiefs, Seahawks, Bears, 49ers or Vikings as a 2nd round pick...so that 40-45 spot is just about perfect for his potentail.

I would also steer clear of Johnny Patrick...its one thing to be charged with assault...its another if you are throwing a female to the ground. That smells like "punk" to me.

Ohoo, great find LLT ( You Da Man )....God. I wonder why then the Steelers are even entertaining this guy ? Now that I see this, I may have to adjust my 3rd round pick in my above draft.

Thanks for the 411.

No problem...I remembered PFW having some questions about his character but couldnt remember the details. The Steelers may have just wanted to give him an interview and find out what happened and if he actually learned his lesson.

He did enter a plea bargain of quilty in exchange for having the charges reduced to "harrassment with contact".

Well I saw that it was settled. And that it was June of last year. If Patrick was completely clean this past season. And he was open and honest about the incident, I can see teams not calling that a continuing Character concern. But it all depends on how the meeting with him and the steelers went.

Pouncey and Hudson are beasts...IMO Pouncey is the better prospect....and in many experts opinions Pouncey is the better prospect because they have him as a 1st round pick and Hudson is a 2nd round pick....I'm going to bring up a guy that we realistically have a shot at in the late 2nd and I would like to see him sporting the black and gold!...His name is Orlando Franklin from the U....this guy would of been rated higher if it wasn't for some recent injuries....the Steelers have showed a lot of interest in this guy and if healthy he can be a steal in the 2nd round....check out some of his highlights to see for yourself...the guy played T and G for the U...He's projected as a G at the next level....let me know what youguys think.....

Settled with a quilty plea isnt really "settled"....its going to remain a red flag for most teams. His only saving grace will be if he showed up at the Steelers interview with a humble, rependant attitude. If he does the whole "thats in the past and I want to move on" mantra.....he is toast!!!!
