We might be picking higher than nine.... like #2.
Yeah, I think we have a shot at one of the two top LTs in this draft. And I'm thinking as a LT, the guy in my sig from Alabama may have more upside than anyone in the draft.
Lewan sounds good to me.
Shawn--I think the kid from Alabama is being projected more as a Right Tackle at the next level.
If the Steelers end up with a top 5 or top 10 pick, which is looking likely, I would love to see them grab an elite LT and lock down the position for the next decade.
This team has needs everywhere, but you can rarely grab an elite LT outside of the top 10.

I don't think so. From my understanding the kid from Alabama is the most athletic LT in the draft...quick feet and hands. Let me pull up a profile.
If the Steelers got a Joe Thomas-type to protect Ben's blind side, that would definitely offer some comfort if the season continues to circle the drain...
I don't care if it is Lewan, or Roby (CB), or Barr (OLB) or whoever. I don't want to reach though, for a need... even one as glaring as LT for us. I hope we are out of range of drafting a franchise QB though, cuz I would have to pause for thought.
If we do get a LT, would you guys prefer we re-sign Pouncey to his 2nd deal too?
The fact that Steelers fans are talking about the draft before our 5th game of the year is more depressing to me than the teams performance thus far.

no doubt...and we all know we aren't drafting an LT in the first round next year.
