That helps explain it then. Thanks NC!
How does the third place team from the AFC North have a harder schedule than the second and first place teams? Is it because the Steelers have to play the Browns and Ravens while both of those teams...
If the Steelers trade back in the first, then their target is obviously a Center. I can see Barton being taken at 20, but I think he's the only one of the top three OCs who seems to have appropriate...
RT-OC is the way to go! Might need a little luck and a dance partner to get Frazier, but I'm hoping the Steelers are cool with Van Pran as a fallback. You'd have to think that how they rate him has a...
You don't meet with a guy at the combine, his pro day, and top-30 visit just to bait a division rival into taking him. Why wouldn't you believe there is genuine interest there?
That's the thing. They are doing their homework and they have a draft board that might differ from what we all think. I guarantee they are looking at the injury potential for all players, as well as...
Gotta disagree with your thinking on this felix. I agree Moore gets bashed a little too much and that he has been a mostly solid starter over the past few years. However, he is an obvious weak link...
This is exactly my SECOND favorite scenario. I'm all-in on going for a RT in the first round and OC in the 2nd. I'm fully aware of the risk that they may not be able to find a trade partner to move...
You're suggesting they draft a guy at 20 who they and every other team has graded as a second rounder. Unless of course, you're advocating for Barton as the pick - and provided the Steelers have him...
It looks like the centers are maybe being overvalued in all of the pre-draft coverage. I read the below article a few days ago but haven't seen a whole lot of chatter about it since. It does appear...
Sweat wasn't available at 51 all that frequently in most of the mocks I did. If the Steelers get their center in the first round and he does slide, then I would definitely in favor of using our 2nd...
A problem I see with that is that you are sliding back eight spots in the first round and giving up our second third round pick (98) in the process. That pick is worth 108 points and could be...
I agree that I'd take Latham over Mims, if he fell. But if he didn't and Mims is on the board, then I'm still taking him. I'm quite sure the Steelers medical team has looked closely at Mims. So, if...
Which RT do you propose? I just don't see any prospects in that range who could step in and challenge for a starting job this year - let alone have the potential to be dominant. Maybe I'm wrong, but...
You're declaring a winner after one day and 20 votes? Well, I just voted for Mims and tied it up!!
I'm with you on grabbing a RT in the first round 100%. But for me, the question isn't which is more likely to be a 10-year pro bowl player, it's what OT would be available after the first round who...
Only because the pick in the first round was an OC am I able to go with Cooper. I'm of the opinion they must get an OC in the first two rounds at all costs. So, I'd probably take Cooper over any of...
I just looked at the trade chart to see how high the team could move up with its second third round pick (98). It would allow them to move up all the way from pick number 51 to number 40 (Washington)...
You might be right Pap, but I think either JPJ or Barton will be there at 20, if not both of them. But if the team eschews OC in the first round, they may very well have to try and trade up to get...
Nix or any QB at #20 is pure insanity. The Steelers are riding with Russ and Fields is wearing the QB of the future tag. You don't burn your number one pick on a QB with that set up unless a can't...
I don't see any OTs in the 2nd round that thrill me as a potential starter. Who stands out as having the potential to be a dominant right tackle? Not only that, but it also seems every OC in the...
I fully advocate going for an OT in the first round, then OC in the second. Of course it depends on how the board unfolds, but I like that as the primary strategy. If the Steelers are going to target...
If OC is the direction with the first pick, there is still this dude to consider if JPJ is off the board. Or maybe as the article suggests, regardless if JPJ is there.

The offensive line doesn't need to just improve, it needs to improve to the point where it is the identity of the team. It needs to be the force behind a punishing running attack and an impenetrable...
I agree. It appears Pickett was scared of Wilson's resume as much as anything. That said, I don't think Russ is too old and he's better than average. But it's not like the Steelers brought in Patrick...
