And Coach Dunbar was at TA&M's proday. I am not off the Nick Ford bandwagon yet either.Originally Posted by teegre
That's pretty effing good!!!
Wyatt is the third, forgotten Georgia D-lineman.
Petit-Frere… we all know that I love him. Plus, Tomlin & Colbert love Buckeyes.
Taylor:
The Steelers have focused on Ross at Clemson’s pro day, and had dinner with the other Ross at Michigan’s pro day.

1(20) Daxton Hill Safety Michigan: pre-Honey Badger mock
2(52) Roger McCreary CB Auburn: Senior CB with versatility. Probably slot CB starter mid-season.
3(84) Calvin Austin III WR Memphis: Smaller WR with speed to get deep quickly. Nobody could cover him at SR Bowl.
4(138) Max Mitchell OT Louisiana: Swing Tackle that could find a chance to start at LT or RT early.
6(208) Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa Edge ND: A bit small for DE and a bit heavy for OLB. I think he adds 15lbs and becomes a 1/3 tech DL.
7a(225) Nick Ford IOL Utah: Versatile OL that can play both OG spots and OC at an all-conference level.
7b(241) Connor Heyward FB/TE MichState: Just makes sense to add a guy that can do so much on offense, plus has NFL/Steelers bloodlines.
I failed to get an ILB this draft. That would open TC with Bush and Jack. I'm pretty good with that actually. Even though, Joshua Ross is my top prospect at ILB currently.
In THEORY Myles Jack pushes ILB a year. I hate the depth, but they gotta try Jack and Bush for as many games as they can. In a perfect world, both players rebound and they’ve found their ILB duo for several years.

In a perfect world...
Bush with Myles Jack, Buddy Johnson, UG3, Marcus Allen, Tegray Scales, and is Spillane still on the roster? I feel like some combination of Josh Ross/Michael Clemons/Jaquan Brisker could legitimately be in play though.
If the steelers went WR in the 1st I think it will be Jahan Dotson. Even with as much attention has been given to George Pickens and Skyy Moore I think Dotson is the target.
If they want their first round pick to play a ton this season then WR, OT, and safety are the clearest runways to playing time.
I’ve stopped trying to guess their WR plans. They always know more than me!
I will say that with WR prices are right now, draft several and no one gets a second contract. Ever. I would’ve been behind DJ at like $12-15 million but like $20 million? Pass. They make more WRs every year.
draft 1 every year , maybe 2 every couple years stay stockpiled and hope to collect 3rd or 4th round comps when they leave
Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles didn't value him either , now he is a Stain at the Mistake by the Lake 3 teams in 4 years more of a shooting star than a superstar
I’m on board.
All the more reason it’s super duper important to get that next franchise guy. A QB with elite talents will shine throwing to whoever. A lesser QB and you gotta sign those big ass second contracts so he has elite weapons. Uggghhhh.

20. Sam Howell QB NC
52. Nicholas Petit-Frere OT OSU
84. Justin Ross WR Clemson
138. Nick Cross Safety Maryland
208. Joshua Ross ILB Michigan
225. Michael Clemons OLB TA&M
241. Connor Heyward FB/TE MichState
you can pretty much tie any one of those players to the steelers , so its likely we end up with a few of those players
- - - Updated - - -
neither of these are likely , but with these mock draft sims you take whats on the board and be happy with it and I did just that ,..... no trades !

R1:
R2: my current favorite RT
R3: the Steelers certainly showed a lot of interest in him
R4: Tomlin’s son’s roommate
R6: they had dinner with him
R7: Dunbar worked him through some drills
R7:
if we do not draft Pickens , I sure hope he isnt drafted in our division , we have plenty of trouble with Carl Pickens back in the day
not saying Carl is his dad as his dads name is never mentioned but he is Bo Jackson’s nephew.... so blood lines are present regardless of the Carl factor

The Steelers have definitely shown interest in George Pickens
Yep

@Dwins
I really like the idea of trading back.
Pierce AND Pickens is very interesting.
Two questions:
-no O-line?
-Connor Heyward?
Array title="Born2Steel has a reputation beyond repute">
Not meant to be picking I swear....
Not a big fan of this one initially. You trade back out of the 1st round yet end up with 6 draft picks instead of the 7 the Steelers started with. So unless there is some 2023 round 1 or early day 2 compensation I don't get the total appeal. I do see and like those 6 picks are basically all top 150. That would be nice too.
Ridder would not be my choice. I got to watch him several times in the AAC and he did not impress me at all. I just don't think he's NFL accurate with the ball.
Double dip at WR is probably a good idea this draft. Not sure I would go back to back on day2 but those are both viable options.
Nick Cross is high on the Steelers board I do believe. I am thinking he will be the 3rd round pick myself. But that is just my gut feeling.
I do see you mocking Luketa often. I'm just not a huge fan and not sure his fit in the Steelers' defense. He's a run stopper that plays on the edge with limited pass rush ability or pass defense experience. Not a NO, just a I don't think so.
Robinson is a huge RB and maybe a good option to take those short yardage/goal-line snaps and hits off Najee. Just my opinion but I would rather Connor Heyward in that role. The Steelers have always been a workhorse RB offense so reps will be limited whoever they put in this role.
yeah a trade back but wind up with an extra pick at 48 and 3 picks in the first 52 , yes just 6 total picks but the last pick is at 164 and I get a player rated by many as a top 120 prospect at the cost of two picks in the 200's ( increasing my chances at an potential impact player at the cost of 2 later round picks that often do not make the roster )
as for Ridder plug in his tape again , watch his release , I think that is a lot of his issue ..... a mechanics issue the ball comes off his hand late thus a lower trajectory and it causes a lot of balls to be batted down that should have no issue going over the the LOS without issue , that singular fix would increase his completion percentage even higher and help with some of the accuracy issues IMO...
Ridder has a lot of tools to like , but he isnt the perfect prospect but if his mechanics are worked on I think he could be a pretty good pro ,and potentially a really good well rounded QB who you would have to defend the entire field against ...
but only time will tell , where he lands will likely play a large part on whom he becomes as a pro
Luketa I think moves inside at the next level esp if drafted by a 3-4 team and he becomes a tackling machine
Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles didn't value him either , now he is a Stain at the Mistake by the Lake 3 teams in 4 years more of a shooting star than a superstar
traded back and up and all around ... the result is IMO impressive 9 picks in the first 111 and a 2023 4th rounder

Just give me Jameson Williams at 1:20 and I’ll be happy with the rest.

Throw in Bailey Zappe in R4 to fill out the QB room.
Do you have any concerns about his knee? about his inability to run a complete route tree? the lackluster history of ‘Bama receivers in the NFL?
He’s a taller version of Mike Wallace… which is pretty good. But, I’m not sure he’s who I’d want to take (if I’m choosing a WR at 20).
well lets be honest Brian Robinson Jr is 10 times the player he just isnt related to cam but I will loan them a pocket knife to blood brother with if that helps lol

been a lot of emphasis of picking up Cams brother late in the draft so kind of shocked there isnt the same sort of table pounding being done for Carnell Lakes son since we do need help at Safety too

I think TP43 has a nephew or some relation in this draft as well.
the nepotism could get out of hand in a hurry lol

His knee would be the only reason he's not gone in the top 5-6. He literally blows past SEC DBs like they're 1-AA. He's a game changer like Hill (aka child beater). As long as his medicals are on track for a full recovery I'd assume the risk.
The Steelers couid save on seats in the “family” section of the stadium.
Troy’s nephew could sneak into the latter part of Day 3. Carnell’s son would be a priority UDRFA. I could realistically see both being brought in.
Lots of mocks showing the Steelers going DEFENSE at 20… and then trading back into the end of R1 to get a QB (Ridder).
I would be happy with Stingley and Ridder. I never put much weight into those mock drafts though. Have the Steelers ever traded back into the first round?

They haven’t needed to. But, the fifth-year option makes it ideal (when drafting a QB).
