A small bit.

We kinda knew it was the end with Hawkins drafted.

Somebody will pick him up...I thought he just needed more reps to really see if he was getting it or not...got hurt again again AVill got his shot and took full advantage.

If they choose to go with 8, then it will likely come down to Hawkins & Hubbard for the final spot.
1. Pouncey
2. DeCastro
3. Foster
4. Gilbert
5. AVill
6. Harris
7. Wallace
8. Hawkins
9. Hubbard

Rookie Jersey Numbers:

82 Demarcus Ayers WR 5-11 190 R Houston
83 Canaan Severin WR 6-2 205 R Virginia
*Severin better make the team if he's going to wear Heath's number!

25 Artie Burns CB 6-0 197 R Miami (Fla.)
*From Ryan Clark to Brandon Boykin to Artie Burns!

46-D Tyler Matakevich LB 6-1 235 R Temple
41-D Travis Feeney LB 6-4 226 R Washington
*The new Will Johnson and Lee Flowers

28 Sean Davis S 6-1 202 R Maryland
*Is he going to be a Cortez Allen or a Chris Hope? lol

65-O Jerald Hawkins OT 6-6 305 R LSU
*Faneca wore that bad boy for 2 seasons. Then Al Woods?

79-D Javon Hargrave DT 6-2 305 R South Carolina State
*Trai Essex? Probably the only name I can remember wearing this number lol

The only other #79 that I can remember is Larry Brown who started out as a TE then converted to a OT. He played during the Steelers' 1970's Super Bowl era. I think he was a TE for the first two SBs and then an OT for the last two.

With FA and the draft officially over...The way too early look at the Steelers starting/key player line up. STs omitted.

OFC.

QB...Ben
OL...AVill, Foster, Pouncey, DeCastro, Gilbert
RB...Bell/DWill
FB...Nix
TE...Green/James
WR1...A. Brown
WR2...Wheaton
WR3...DHB/Coates/?

DEF

DE...Tuitt
NT...MCullers/Hargrave*
DE...Heyward
OLB...Dupree/Moats
OLB...J. Jones/Harrison
ILB...Shazier
ILB...Timmons/V Williams
CB1...Gay
CB2...Cockrell
CB3...Golson
FS...Mitchell
SS...Golden

Bold italic = new starter
* = rookie

Barring any major injuries, is this lineup good enough to win the DIV and make a serious run at the AFC Title?

I say yes but you have to throw out a few other "IFs"

IF...Golson is the real deal at nickel.
IF...Golden picks up where he left off at SS
IF...Green can deliver in the RZ
