I like them all better than the OT projected here.Godsbrother said:I don't think it will go down that way but if it does probably Noah Fant, DK Metcalf, Brian Burns or Jerry Tillery

The only first round prospect O-lineman that I've heard the Steelers having interest in is Cody Ford. This pick would make sense because Foster doesn't have much time left, and the team could let Finney walk next offseason. I wouldn't like this pick, so hopefully it won't happen, but Ford is talented.I like them all better than the OT projected here.
Per Jeremy Fowler: Steelers dipping into @TheAAF pool. The team is expected to sign center J.C. Hassenauer pending a physical, per source. Hassenauer spent time on Falcons practice squad before playing for Birmingham Iron of Alliance.
I was kinda hoping they'd pick off one of the top 2 corners from the AAF. A backup center with hopefully some position flexibility doesn't hurt, but isn't a need.
Hassenauer was a reserve guard/center for most of his time in school but played extremely well when given the opportunity. He started in the National Championship and graded out as Alabama’s best offensive lineman in that game. After an impressive pro day, Hassenauer got the attention of some scouts. He’s a versatile player that could add some badly-needed extra depth behind starting center Alex Mack.
I think the stepping on the ankle was more egregious of the two.Not a good look for Tillery, but it was a couple years ago?

This is part of the reason I think that the Steelers might actually use all 10 picks instead of combining them to move up, just because they've used a lot of picks at the top on D and it hasn't quite worked out. Maybe by taking the scattershot approach like some other teams we might have more success. More picks increase the odds of more viable players, as long as they can discern the talent within Training Camp and Preseason and not cut players that go on to future success.I can see the Steelers calling Burns' name. All these high picks on D, hopefully they start to pay off, Cam, Tuitt, Watt, Dupree, Davis, Burns, Edmunds, Hargrave(Jarvis and Shazier too)....should be Steel Curtain 2 around here with all that invested.
Last two new mocks I saw from the past week had him at #29 and #32.In the first? I thought he was a second or third?
What?! You don’t want an olineman?!I like them all better than the OT projected here.
I sort of view the top cb prospects as all fairly even. I'd be happy if the Steelers waited until rd 2 or 3 for a cb and they go bpa in rds 1 and 2.I would be ok with him at 52, and happy with him at 66. He has flown up analyst big boards, but he's not as athletic as other prospects, and I'm not sure he has the upside that many other players do. I'd rather take Savage at 52, but he's moving up too.
I saw a mock yesterday where the Ravens traded up to 18 to take Devin Bush. If that happens, I'm gonna lose it.
The top 3 CBs are growing on me, but I still think there will be great value somewhere else if we let players fall to us.
He seems to be a lot more self aware and appears to be a genuinely good person. He's visible in the community and volunteers his time. AB was known to show up late, or not at all, to volunteer events for kids. I think we just ignored the signs that he's a d**k because he played so great.If he becomes a complete a$$hole like his predecessor I'm really gonna be pissed.
I know. Completely out of character for me.What?! You don’t want an olineman?!
Me too, it's looking better everyday.I take back my criticisms of the front office for not getting anything for AB. A bag of chips would have been suffice to get this loser out of the building.
Okay that's fine but from here on out JuJu needs to stop responding to Mr. Big Chest.AB started taking shots at him out of the blue for his fumble in the New Orleans game. AB has shown himself to be a clueless, classless putz, especially since JuJu took responsibility for the loss and blamed it all on himself (and the day it happened, not like 3 months later). AB always struck me as a classy guy who maybe liked fun too much (actual fun like TD dances, not partying and whoring around). His metamorphosis into what we see today is totally bizarre and caught me completely off guard. Maybe he's always been this way and just hid it well, but the two personas are so vastly different that it doesn't seem like they could coexist in the same body. I'm shuked
Anyways, I thought JuJu handled it well.
If he becomes a complete a$$hole like his predecessor I'm really gonna be pissed.
If they don't go CB or Bush, I think it's D-line. I think that could be the surprise pick.After all of these mocks, I'd be willing to bet the Steelers' first round draft pick comes from one of four players: Devin Bush or one of the top 3 CBs.
I'd be extremely surprised at anything else.

with the FA signing of Nelson, I am thinking less and less CB. If Bush is gone, I could see Edge or (if one of the Iowa TE's fall) TE. Both of those positions are extremely thin.If they don't go CB or Bush, I think it's D-line. I think that could be the surprise pick.
If we trade back in the 1st I think we go CB or WR, and if we trade up I think our only target is Bush.
I wouldn't be mad. I think the pick can be better spent elsewhere, but I wouldn't be mad taking a QB that was thought to be a top 10 pick early on.Dwayne Haskins stock is falling, if he falls to 20 is he worth taking? Is he a significant upgrade over Mason?
I wouldn’t. I have seen DK Metcalf dropping as well — he I would run to the podium forDwayne Haskins stock is falling, if he falls to 20 is he worth taking? Is he a significant upgrade over Mason?

Or WilliamsI don't see the Steelers taking a TE in the first round. I think if Vance can stay healthy they already have a decent weapon there. They do need TE depth but you don't use your #1 on depth. Now if Hockenson was there at #20 I would grab him in a heartbeat but he won't and as much as I like Fant as a receiving TE they have greater needs elsewhere.
Assuming the two Devins are gone then the Steelers will take either Baker or Murphy, possibly Burns.
agree 100% with the bolded. If somehow Hockenson fell and Bush is gone, he would be my #1 choice.I don't see the Steelers taking a TE in the first round.

they must have updated since your post. Harmon is going to Buffalo at 40. The 3rd rounders for the Steelers are Hakeem Butler and some guy I don't know (Oshane Ximines)I absolutely hate this draft for the Steelers, other than Harmon in the third.

I meant Butler, sorry. I'm ok with Butler in the 3rd. Harmon would be better of course, but Butler in the 3rd is a decent pick. As an ND fan, I like Mack in the 7th too, but I don't like Fant in round 1 and it fails to adequately address the defensive needs, in my opinion.they must have updated since your post.

what are you thoughts on Miles Boykin?I meant Butler, sorry. I'm ok with Butler in the 3rd. Harmon would be better of course, but Butler in the 3rd is a decent pick.

I love the guy. I think he was underutilized in ND's offense, has great measurables and the ability to shine in the right system. I'd be pretty happy with him in a Steelers uniform for a 4th.what are you thoughts on Miles Boykin?
I don't know, he reminds me of the other Combine Warriors who are athletic, but not great WRs (Kevin White/Brashad Perriman). He's jacked and can run fast, but his catching ability is mediocre, his route running ability is limited, and he gets hurt a lot. I'm not sure any WR this year is worth a top 25 pick with so much defensive talent on the board.I wouldn’t. I have seen DK Metcalf dropping as well — he I would run to the podium for

FYPI really hope wedon't take a WR with a #1.take a Devin or a CB with a #1
Yep. We need an impact defensive player or two from this draft.FYP
I know you'd also be ok with an edge rusher.
I think it could happen. It really largely hinges on Cinci.Whenever I see a mock draft with Devin Bush falling past pick #20, I know that the person writing the mock hasn't done enough research.
If Haskins falls to them, would they take the QB?I think it could happen. It really largely hinges on Cinci.
I hope so. Home-state guy. Definitely a gate draw.If Haskins falls to them, would they take the QB?
