I'm thinkin 3rd Rd now that the Steelers have Manqueef.

1. Smith-Schuster
2. Moncrief
3. Washington
4. Switzer
5. Rogers

Would like to see 1 more lengthy WR in the mix.

I still think Rogers can be a sneaky good 4/slot ahead of Switzerland’s. I’m a big fan

I like Rogers too, but I think Switzer earned a lot of respect last year. Kid is tough as nails.

Justin Houston signed with Indy.

2 years, 24 million.

too much for a one trick pony at this point IMHO

I agree, and with his durability issues, I'm glad Pitt didn't sign him. Not for that.

Probably, but he'll likely double Dupree's sack output.

I'll be happy enough if the Steelers select an OLB in the first three rounds though. Especially getting one of Burns, Polite, or Winovich.

Josh Allen would be a pipe dream, of course.

I'm learning about these guys on the fly to be honest....couple of my golf buddies are big Sat football guys...Burns is the one I know the most about, but PIT had a full complement at MICH pro day and I'm sure they were looking at more than just Bush...Winovich I think the took out to dinner, so there has to be some interest there.

IMO if they hold serve at 20, they need to use some of that draft capital to move up in the 2nd round.

Rogers needs to stay healthy...he may have more flat line speed than Switz, but I like Switz a lot and he seemed to bond with Ben...I look for his targets to be in the 60-70 range this season...had less than 50 LY.

For that much the Steelers were never in on him.
Colts have a ton of Cap space and could afford to overpay him.

MACK WILSON, ALABAMA
At 6' 2" and 239 pounds, Wilson’s frame and skillset line up nicely with today’s NFL. Alabama defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi often drops the junior back into coverage, where Wilson patrols the field with the awareness and fleet-footedness of a safety—instincts that could elevate him to the late first-round level. Just about every top-tier SEC linebacker can hit hard and run fast in space, but Wilson is so adept at reading the quarterback’s eyes and leaping up to tip passes. He’s an all-around talent, but when he rushes offensive linemen up to 90 pounds heavier than him, Wilson sometimes gets pushed around. Bulking up a tad could help, but he doesn’t want to lose his elite speed and agility. Wilson has not yet decided if he’ll enter the 2019 NFL draft, as he recently hinted at returning to Alabama for his senior year.

hes growing on me as a fall back

This Hanks kid from New Mx St is gaining a lot of steam...reportedly has the speed to cover and has NFL starter athleticism. If PIT misses out (probable) on Devin White...this might be a name we hear called for PIT.

shame dude ran a 4.8 40. thats bad

I think were gonna see in the coming weeks here some vet LB'ers with bigger contracts get cut. By no means are they the solution, but like we tried to do with Bostic, we may be able to find a plug. Im suggesting a cheap signing. Im already reading about:

nick perry
possibly jamie collins
conner barwin

just a few none im suggesting we sign, but there may be some to take a peek at, while drafting a guy high.

Oh please sign Jamie Collins!
