We can scratch Gould off since he just got tagged. The rest don't really jump off the page to me. Bailey is talented but he's been hitting at a bad clip the last two seasons. Bryant is intriguing but he's also pretty old.

Maybe give Nick Folk a look? I know he's been getting some attention with the AAF.

Few AAF kickers have been decent but they all sucked in the nfl:noidea:

Steelers: "We want to avoid and move past drama."

Also Steelers: "Let's show interest in Antonio Brown's cousin who is nicknamed 'Hollywood.'"
Anyone want to make a bet that it’s Tomlin doing that combine interview?

absolutely. The standard is the standard, the expectations are just that, the expectations. We expect these young men to learn from others mistakes, and to come in and contribute.

The standard is a circus. Rinse & repeat.

not a terrible mock. Hits what we need.
Pittsburgh Steelers Pre-Combine 7-Round Mock Draft | The Draft Network

kinda throws some sand on your LB @ATL96Steeler

Hard to grade w/o seeing who was on the board at 20 especially, but as you said, hits needs.

I would be very surprised to see a RB at 20, but I would be happy with Hanks in the 4th...probably won't be the week one starter, but he projects well.

Edited to note...DB, better. I've actually seen him play...as a CB I think I like the kid from WAS outside, but this kid has some versatility....is he ready to play outside right now would be my question.

This was a great draft.....PRE-COMBINE.

Gardner-Johnson, their projected 1st round pick, ran a 4.5 40 which is about middle of the pack for guys at the same position, 17 bench reps which is middle of the pack as well.
Trayvon Mullen, who they have as our 2nd round pick, ran a better 40 (4.46) than Gardner-Johnson, but that's all he competed in.
Terry McLaurin, their projected 3rd round pick, won't be around at 84 after his combine. 4.35 40, which was 5th amongst ALL wide-outs and the 8th fastest 20 yard shuttle.
Hanks, the projected 4th round pick, had the SLOWEST 40 out of the 23 LBs that did it.

Correct positions and probably were the right looking guys before the draft, but they aren't the right guys now.

Man, I hope there is a bidding war going.

Would be nice to get two firsts from Oakland, or a first and their high 2nd.

Or even a first and Gareon Conley.

Let's fleece those idiots again!

Something to tinker around with really.

We're going to know a whole lot more in a day or so if the news on AB getting traded this week holds true.

Assuming it's OAK and #24 or another lower 1st round pick...do they get aggressive and try to move up to get White, or do they hold serve and take both picks?

That would be nice!!

Just ready for both of those ass wipes to be in the rear view mirror...but of course we know AB will have some parting shots in the media wherever he does land.

If we have two late round picks, I'd try to package them to get into the top 10-15 and try and get White or another better talent than what we would get at 20 or 24. But then again, this is the Steelers front office and they probably will NOT be trading up in the draft.

If they announce the trade before he can officially be dealt, and that trade partner is an undesirable location for a WR.... then buckle up.

AB is going to pull out all the stops he can this weekend. Parents hide your children.... or at least don’t take them near any balconies in downtown Miami.
