Steelers Draft

[MISKO]

hey DD how many steeler fans came over with ya ?

 

[Droopdog51]

There were quite a few memebers of the Steeler Nation on the CBS board, but I haven't seen any on these boards yet. Don't know where they went.

 

[MISKO]

well I seen a few with the steeler logo that came over

 

[Droopdog51]

Yeah. I know there has to be a few. To be honest, I threw in the towel on the Steelers last year when they lost to the clowns. That game was pathetic and I couldn't stand watching it. I saw a few other games and all they did was piss me off. It finally got to the point where I did my Honey-Dos on Sunday and kept saturday free to watch the Aggies.

Nice new Avi!!!!

yea they pissed me off last year also .. kinda makes me think that there was some decention in the locker room ... and wallace tanked a lot of passes

thanks on the avy she is my good luck charm ... figure we need all of the luck we can get in the draft

Will the Pittsburgh Steelers get their hands on Jarvis Jones in tonight?s NFL draft? They desperately need him.

jarvis jones huh?

 

[MISKO]

Three Players the Pittsburgh Steelers Could Select in the First Round that Would Leave Some Scratching Their Heads

 

[Droopdog51]

If they draft Vacero out of Texas, they better hope Ryan Clark and Troy Polamou can teach him to tackle.

I really dislike him.

I'd much rather go with Elam, Cyprien, Reid or either of the Thomas if we're addressing the S position this year with actual 'grooming' guys. Personally, I think this draft is prime to reload offensively and I would draft the replacements (at least at 1 S slot) next year.

I think he has a high boom bust, even if he only played 4-5 years for us the upside is high, but Worilds actually looked *decent* when he got to play on the correct side last year. I'd like to see what we really have in him.

But I am pretty sure that if the draft falls the way it seems it should,
*if* we stay at 17, we're picking either

Jones, Eifert, or Hunter.

this is the way our draft on the SportsHoopla mock fell so far

1 (trade down)
25 Pittsburgh (from Minnesota (from Seattle)) - LOC, Jarvis Jones, LB, Georgia

2 48 Pittsburgh - LOC, Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee

3 79 Pittsburgh Steelers - LOC - Vance Mcdonald, TE, Rice

3 83 Pittsburgh (from Minnesota) - LOC, Aaron Dobson, WR Marshall

5 143 Pittsburgh (from Buffalo) - LOC, Christine Michael, RB, aTm

6 186 Pittsburgh - LoC - Rontez Miles, S, Cal(Pa)

6 189 Pittsburgh (from Minnesota) - LOC -Zeke Motta, S, NotreDame

6 206 Pittsburgh (Comp) - LOC- Michael Mauti, ILB PennState



With our OL mostly set, and our offensive skill positions reinforced, the 2014 draft would focus on an overhaul of youth on D. Hopefully Lebeau would finally let the rookies play--- out of necessity.

This won't happen, if anything Spielman is looking to add picks by trading down. Maybe pick up a mid 30's.

blame your hooplaGM, not me!

 

[JohnRandle]

well at least they are thinking about it so who knows ?? I just dont want us to be like the vikes and cleavland and find a decent qb and just throw him straight into the fire that never seams to work out .... and it does work out but on very rare occasions

That does suck, and it wasn't the Vikes intent, but McWorthless played so shitty they figured they might as well get him some experience.
It doesn't always end badly though, Ben was fine.

[LeaderOCola]

if the draft really did play out that way for the Steelers, I would be happier than a world without Geico commercials
