Don't be surprised if the Steeler's can't make a deal they like to get Pouncey that they stay where they are at and take Rodney Hudson.

I would be totally fine with that.

i've checked a couple of sites and they have hudson going close to where we pick in the 2nd round

I believe those mocks are ignoring the fact that Hudson is probably every bit as skilled as Pouncey. Why he won't be the first Guard off the board is probably strickly related to size.

Rodney Hudson is better suited to play center.

we've already got one of those and he's pretty good...

From a skill set or because of his size?

I kind of lean toward taking Cannon over Hudson as he can dominate with his size and could play RT as well as guard. I don't know if Hudson or Cannon is a first round talent though.

I agree with both Hawaiian & Steelblood...Hudson just seems like a Jeff Saturday type & we're set at Center. Cannon offers the positional flexibility that Tomlin treasures & has the kind of upside to anchor the RT spot after learning a year from Flozell.

even Rick Trickett, the FSU offensive line coach, thinks Hudson will play center in the NFL and that's where most NFL teams have Hudson projected to play.

Hudson may have the best technique of any OL in this draft, but at under 300 lbs (his playing weight at FSU was 290) he will most likely be moved to center.

If that's the case, trade down. Hudson can be had in the 2nd.

No. Just passing along some info. I wouldn't be surprised a bit. Hudson can play any interior line spot and will be a long time NFL starter.

:Agree X 10

Cannon will provide much more than Hudson and I would not hesitate to take him at #31.

I think they do want to go up and get Pouncey. I just don't know if they will find a partner and a deal they like.

This team doesn't need 7 draft picks.

SKL, I totally agree with both of those statements. absolutely.
