    I like Weatherspoon over McClain myself. I think McClain is too slow. He seems better suited as a MLB in a 4-3. I bet the Giants pick him.

    One position everyone seems to ignore is RB. With Parker gone, all we have is Mendenhall and Moore. If the Steelers don't pick someone up in FA (which they already tried with Chester Taylor), I can see them going RB within the first three rounds of the draft.

    I don’t know…he excelled in Saban’s 3-4…why wouldn’t he do so at the next level?

    Good point, he did. But the speed in the NFL is another beast. He probably will be a very good or even great player. I just feel that Weatherspoon will be the better pick for the Steelers. Then again, they both could be busts. That is the beauty of the draft.

    On that inside Middle LB spot he doesnt need to be a track star. Now having said that I too am leaning more towards Weatherspoon. There's just something special about that guy. I think he is going to be a difference maker.

    I haven't. CJ Spiller at #18.
    Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!

    If they don't go CB, I'd be happy with Spiller.

    Wow….Jared Odrick going as high as 12. Interesting.

    Haden! Tate shouldnt even be in the conversation.
    Not even if these Santonio rumors are true?[/quote:mmzd2kst]


    Even if they are true, which I have no reason to believe they are, Mike Wallace can hold down the spot for 4 games.
