Hearing the same from others.

rappaport reporting steelers wanting to trade up

i like the idea, but i dont want to give up picks. i think good players could fall to us.

[steeler_george]

who did the browns just pick...wtf!

[Eddie Spaghetti]

I would prefer to sit still and keep out picks as well

[Moonie]

All these poor guys getting picked by Cleveland. Career is over on the day its supposed to begin.

[steeler_george]

All these poor guys getting picked by Cleveland. Career is over on the day its supposed to begin.

i know they look depressed when they show them!

[steeler_george]

leonard is gone much higher than expected!

[Steel Maniac]

Guice is really sliding.

[Steel Maniac]

Colts are having a great draft

[pittpete]

When you finish with the 3rd worst record...LOL

[Eddie Spaghetti]

report out that TMZ has some kind of story on guice

that doesn't sound good. lol

[steeler_george]

report out that TMZ has some kind of story on guice

that doesn't sound good. lol

was wondering why he is dropping...

[SteelBucks]

report out that TMZ has some kind of story on guice

that doesn't sound good. lol

NFL Radio was talking about character issues this morning. Nothing specific though.

[Eddie Spaghetti]

I just figured it had to do with lying about the questions he was asked at the combine but it may be bigger than that

[steeler_george]

could harrison or reid fall to us in the 2nd?

damn kirk went to az

[pittpete]

If Rudolph is there will they take him?
I hope not but what do i know?
LOL

[pittpete]

could harrison or reid fall to us in the 2nd?

damn kirk went to az

Has to be a reason Reid has fell this far?

[Eddie Spaghetti]

damn. there goes nwosu

[Eddie Spaghetti]

maybe an edge like lorenzo carter?

[steeler_george]

damn. there goes nwosu

i liked him too...

[pittpete]

Glad TE gone...

[steeler_george]

damn there goes Goedert!

[pittpete]

Glad don't want a TE...

[pittpete]

Going to go out on a limb and say we grab James Washington from Okl

[squidkid]

Going to go out on a limb and say we grab James Washington from Okl


noooooooo.............

[Rara]

If Guise and Reid are still available for the Steelers... do they draft one of them this time around..?

[squidkid]

still a few olbs out there

[squidkid]

If Guise and Reid are still available for the Steelers... do they draft one of them this time around..?


guise, please

[SteelBucks]

I could see Sam Hubbard or another ILB. Maybe WR, maybe Rudolph

[JUST-PLAIN-NASTY]

WR
Miller
Chark
Washington

Jefferson-Baker ILB?


Guice had to have bad interviews or positive. Would they pass again?

and the one you hate...Rudolf

[Rara]

I have never seen so many trades in the second round, ever.

There goes that wide receiver from Memphis some wanted.

[SidSmythe]

I was disappointed in Hargrave as a True 3-4 NT last year.
How about Harrison Phillips?? I've been one to roll his eyes at the Steelers moving to a 4-3 but this might be the time with our personnel.

I've also been against the BEN retirement talk over the past 2 yrs but I'd be OK w/ Mason Rudolph at this point.

I think the pickup of Burnett and Bostic has changed the Steelers focus in the draft ....I know after the season it was evident we needed FS and ILB but I think the Steelers are happy moving forward with those additions.

[pittpete]

Lightening in a bottle 2 years in a row?

[Rara]

Lightening in a bottle 2 years in a row?

Who would your lightning be?

[pittpete]

Washington...A wr in the 2nd

[pittpete]

Belicheat trades up for Rudulph?

[Rara]

Belicheat trades up for Rudulph?

Duke Dawson

[pittpete]

Hmmm, thought he was going for the QB..
I guess Brady found out and put the kabosh on it...LOL

[JUST-PLAIN-NASTY]

Said Guice immature high maintenance & off field incidents not reported at LSU

If Guice off for character & I don't include S or QB...

Washington & Chark WR HIGHEST Rated

[pittpete]

getting nervous again...lol

[SteelBucks]

Steelers up!

[steeler_fan_in_t.o.]

DJ Chark WR

[8467thekraken]

Rudolph would be nice, here.

[Oviedo]

Has to be a reason Reid has fell this far?


Proof the rest of the NFL knows he isn't as good as Edmunds

[SteelBucks]

Love the pick

[pittpete]

Going to go out on a limb and say we grab James Washington from Okl


woot, love the pick

[JUST-PLAIN-NASTY]

Niiiiiiiiiiiice!


Washington reminds me so much of Sterling Sharpe.

[Eddie Spaghetti]

solid pick

[Slapstick]

https://www.sbnation.com/2018/3/30/17145766/2018-nfl-draft-james-washington-scouting-report-breakdown-wide-receiver

[Rara]

I'm not getting the like of these picks. We have Brown and JuJu taking most of the passes why the love for Washington? I just watched video and would have gone with Chark instead. Another pick that makes me go hmm....

[pittpete]

Niiiiiiiiiiiice!


Washington reminds me so much of Sterling Sharpe.

Reminds me of Anquann Boldin

[Disco1981]

Love it...Got a 3rd for Bryant, Washington takes his spot AND unload his attitude and get an extra pick

[JUST-PLAIN-NASTY]

Reminds me of Anquann Boldin

Yeah I can see some of that.

[Slapstick]

https://www.sbnation.com/2018/3/30/17145766/2018-nfl-draft-james-washington-scouting-report-breakdown-wide-receiver

[JUST-PLAIN-NASTY]

ILB has to be one if 3rds. Be nice trade back -6 from #79 maybe pick of late 4. Love the value 2-4 load up. I want Ballage so be nice to have a 4 to burn on him.

Next up ILB:
Baker, Jefferson, Warner, Avery

[fordfixer]

When do we pick next?

[Rara]

Pick 79 should be Fred Werner if available.

[fordfixer]

Pick 79 should be Fred Werner if available.
Thanks Rara

[Moonie]

Anquann Bolden ran like he had ankle weights on, and dropped more passes than Decker.

[pittpete]

15 and 28 3rd round

[JUST-PLAIN-NASTY]

Well Jefferson would be good value now. Very high ceiling but low floor. Have Bostic so I would go get him & double dip late with Carter from Maryland or Sam. I'm guessing Baker or Jefferson wild care Rudolph.

[Ernie]

Rudolph would be nice, here.

Might be there in the 3rd

[Rara]

Well ****, there goes Werner.

[pittpete]

Ford, we draft 15 and 28 this round

[8467thekraken]

Might be there in the 3rd

Man, that would be sweet. Keep the Rudolph/Washington connection goin'.

[fordfixer]

15 and 28 3rd round
Thanks Pete

[Ernie]

Man, that would be sweet. Keep the Rudolph/Washington connection goin'.

Pitt jumped ahead of Cincy. My guess is rudolph

[fordfixer]

Ford, we draft 15 and 28 this round
Ha thanks again

[Rara]

Go ahead, Steelers...amuse me by drafting Mason Rudolph in two picks.

[JUST-PLAIN-NASTY]

They said traded up & Bakee gone...Jefferson?

[SteelBucks]

Damn. Wanted Baker

[SteelBucks]

Wonder who the Steelers want to move ahead of Cincinnati?

[pittpete]

they there

[SteelBucks]

Sam Hubbard please

[pittpete]

TRaded 7th rounder lol

[pittpete]

Rudolph ..........

[8467thekraken]

Yes!!!!!!!!!

[Ernie]

There it is boys!

[pittpete]

woweeeeeeeee

[calmkiller]

YES! Rudolph to Washington for years to come.

[8467thekraken]

So I guess we have seen the last of L. Jones.

[JUST-PLAIN-NASTY]

Zero complaints now I'm 3rd.

[SteelBucks]

I’m fine with this in the third round

[Disco1981]

I'm freaking pumped

[phillyesq]

Fine with this pick in the third. But what was the point of draft Dobbs last year? I doubt that the Steelers get rid of Landry and go with 2 unproven backups, so this likely means that Dobbs was a wasted pick.

[SteelBucks]

Damn Bengals.

[SteelBucks]

I wanted Hubbard or Jefferson. Bengals take both

[Eddie Spaghetti]

Fine with this pick in the third. But what was the point of draft Dobbs last year? I doubt that the Steelers get rid of Landry and go with 2 unproven backups, so this likely means that Dobbs was a wasted pick.

dobbs was a wasted pick last year

he was never going amount to anything

[Sugar]

Fine with this pick in the third. But what was the point of draft Dobbs last year? I doubt that the Steelers get rid of Landry and go with 2 unproven backups, so this likely means that Dobbs was a wasted pick. My thinking as well.

I was hoping that the Steelers would be trying to win another big one before Ben retired. While I understand the WR pick after loosing Bryant, coupled with this one it looks like a team building for the future instead of trying to win now. Unfortunate...

[phillyesq]

Would like to see Genard Avery next.

[Ernie]

YES! Rudolph to Washington for years to come.

Heck of a job on the mock. You've got 2 of the 3 right so far!

[Ernie]

My thinking as well.

Looks to me like they are trying to Do both

[SteelBucks]

Not sure I understand. Who should they have taken to put them over the top? I firmly believe the Steelers are in “win now” mode. They filled most of their needs in FA and now they’re working on depth.

[pittpete]

Philly, need to see preseason before we can judge.
It's going to create some real true competition while Ben gets to teach and watch.

[calmkiller]

Heck of a job on the mock. You've got 2 of the 3 right so far!

Thanks. As a WVU fan I was Huge on Washington, but I didn't think we could get both, and I thought ILB would be a higher need, so I didn't put him in.

[feltdizz]

Fine with this pick in the third. But what was the point of draft Dobbs last year? I doubt that the Steelers get rid of Landry and go with 2 unproven backups, so this likely means that Dobbs was a wasted pick.

Why is Dobbs a wasted pick? Landry is probably gone.

Rudolph has to show he is legit.

and if he is, we still need a back up once Ben leaves.

[pittpete]

Go get Shaq now!!!

[RuthlessBurgher]

TRaded 7th rounder lol

According to the trade chart, Martavis Bryant (3.79) + Ross Cockrell (7.220) = Mason Rudolph (3.76) :)

[Slapstick]

Go get Shaq now!!!

I think Griffin would be good...

[Sugar]

Not sure I understand. Who should they have taken to put them over the top? I firmly believe the Steelers are in “win now” mode. They filled most of their needs in FA and now they’re working on depth.

We needed another guy to hold a clipboard? Jones did just fine with that until he was called upon to beat the Browns again. This is a team that gave up 48 points to Jacksonville and was run over much of the year. There was seriously no Defensive player that could contribute?

[phillyesq]

Why is Dobbs a wasted pick? Landry is probably gone.

Rudolph has to show he is legit.

and if he is, we still need a back up once Ben leaves.

I think there is almost zero chance that Landry gets cut. And I say that as somebody who is not a big Jones fan at all.

The Steelers aren't going to go into the year with Dobbs and a rookie as backup QBs.

[calmkiller]

Oren Burks, Micah Kiser are ILB options in the 3rd. Otherwise we are looking at the 6th or 7th round based on visits.

[Eddie Spaghetti]

dobbs is not a professional QB and i saw every game he played in college

terribly innacurate

[Moonie]

We needed another guy to hold a clipboard? Jones did just fine with that until he was called upon to beat the Browns again. This is a team that gave up 48 points to Jacksonville and was run over much of the year. There was seriously no Defensive player that could contribute?

This.

Future is not now.

[calmkiller]

Go get Shaq now!!!

Oh hey, I would be okay with that.

[RuthlessBurgher]

Go get Shaq now!!!

I like me some Shaq with our second pick in the 3rd round. Replace the inspirational Shazier with the inspirational Griffin. A couple of guys motivated to do everything they can to overcome disabilities. And Griffin is the only LB faster than Shazier was.

[pittpete]

I think this kid could be an inspiration for the defense....

[Slapstick]

I think there is almost zero chance that Landry gets cut. And I say that as somebody who is not a big Jones fan at all.

The Steelers aren't going to go into the year with Dobbs and a rookie as backup QBs.

They went with a rookie backup QB in 2004...

[Prowler]

Can we get Bo Scarborough next? That would be awesome. Ground a pound in 2019 with Connor and Bo. See ya later Bell, another cancer would be gone!!

[calmkiller]

There went burks.

[pittpete]

Will he still be there in the 5th?

[steelerkeylargo]

Josh Sweat
Dorrance Armstrong
Dorian O'daniel
Ogbo Okowronko
Tim Settle
Jamarco Jones
Ronnie Harrison

[SteelBucks]

Harrison is still available?

[Prowler]

Josh Sweat
Dorian O'daniel
Ogbo Okowronko
Tim Settle
Jamarco Jones
Ronnie Harrison

Great list key largo.

[Steelgal]

We need defense next. Give me Griffin.

[Steel Maniac]

I’m beating the drum load for signing Navarro Bowman now.

[SteelerOfDeVille]

Settle is my guy

[pittpete]

Griffen or Okowronko

[pittpete]

Steelers up!!!!

[Steelgal]

Stupid commercials

[calmkiller]

draft OT Chukwuma Okorafor Western Michigan

[pittpete]

Haaaaaaaaaa

[steelerkeylargo]

Okafor, meh

[Eddie Spaghetti]

hate this pick

you have hawkins as the swing tackle

[SteelBucks]

I’m shocked Harrison lasted until pick 93

[phillyesq]

They went with a rookie backup QB in 2004...

Just a bit of a difference between the 11th overall pick and a third rounder.

[pittpete]

Didn't love this pick...Tony Hills again?

[Ernie]

Just a bit of a difference between the 11th overall pick and a third rounder.

He was rated as a borderline 1st round pick. If the Steelers see him as a franchise qb and bens replacement, who cares when hes picked? I'm loving this pick in the 3rd

[calmkiller]

Didn't love this pick...Tony Hills again?

We didn't have Munchek when Hill was here.

[Sugar]

We didn't have Munchek when Hill was here.

Fact. I was thinking the same thing. If anyone is going to get the most out of this guy, it's Coach Munch.

[RuthlessBurgher]

Didn't love this pick...Tony Hills again?

Nah...Tony Hills' name is more difficult to pronounce.

[Moonie]

Drafting fish. This blows.

[pittpete]

Kid has really quick feet so hopefully Munch can coach him up.
His run blocking is mediocre at best..

[Steelwolf]

This draft is meh for me, at this point they have forgot defense wins championships....

[Sugar]

This draft is meh for me, at this point they have forgot defense wins championships....

I was thinking the same. Last night was a bit of surprise, but it seemed to make sense based on the situation. Getting Washington was fine because of losing Bryant, so OK. Did Fichtner somehow drug Butler and Olsavsky and hide them in the janitorial closet?

[Steel Maniac]

This draft is meh for me, at this point they have forgot defense wins championships....

Boom.........you would have thought the ass whippings from the Jags would have been enough of a reminder. Lol

[RuthlessBurgher]

After the James Washington pick, I'm waiting for Juju Smith-Schuster to tweet "lol that's Antonio browns replacement.not minds take it how you want to I am back."

[Steelwolf]

Lol right, so many needs on defense but guess we will see how it plays out

[Rara]

Finally, a pick I'm happy about...Mason Rudolph in the third is great value!! Roethlisberger's heir apparent!!

[squidkid]

draft OT Chukwuma Okorafor Western Michigan


BPA again...................
