Ok fellas as promised I would give you a little info about a Corner that is off our board. I am not gonna tell you the source, but, I will say that he is the NFL agent for 2 VERY prominent members of the Steelers organization.

I have a couple more nuggets to share later.

If I had to guess, I'd say the Steelers researched the Smith's past history getting caught underaged drinking as a freshman and also a failed drug tests as well. Steeler brass already knew the answers the questions that they were asking, and he probably lied about them. Pure speculation on my part.

I will go with your assumption.

On Friday, there was a report from a Detroit beat writer that the Lions would not look at Colorado Buffaloes cornerback Jimmy Smith with the 13th overall pick because of off-the-field issues that teams were aware of already. Smith addressed that and several other questions during Sunday's combine activities.

According to Gary Miller, Smith wrote off those issues as "youthful mistakes [during] freshman year." However, teams have asked him about it over the last several days. Smith, it turns out, had been charged twice for possessing alcohol as a minor and had a positive drug test.

Moving on from that, Smith then discussed comparisons others have made between him and one of the top corners in the league, Nnamdi Asomugha. Smith "believes he has better ball skills." Nothing like a little boast to pique interest, right?

Smith noted as well that he hired Drew Rosenhaus as his agent recently to get "better representation." Rosenhaus is known to be a tough negotiator, and this move could drop Smith's stock a bit.

1. You get high walking down the street in Boulder.
2. A college kid drinking and smoking weed? What has the world come to? Craziness.
3. We won't draft a guy for smoking weed but we'll move up in the first to draft a guy who admits to selling drugs, has three kids, multiple fights, etc. Yeah, that makes sense.

The Steelers have met with Tyron Smith, Noel Devine & DJ Williams.

[steelblood]

Did you say DJ Williams? That sounds like an excellent second round selection. :P

No way i draft D J Williams in Rd 2. He is 6'2" and 235 lbs. I think he could be drafted to replace Johnson but Rd 2 is too early for a player like him.

I would take a guy like Luke Stocker over D J Williams.

Talking to some people well connected. The Steelers are very interested in getting ahead of the Ravens who are drafting #26. It would probably mean giving up their 2nd and getting back a third.

Hmm..is it for a CB?? I think Ravens will look for a CB in Rd 1.

The Ravens also have OL issues at RG/RT (Yanda and Chester are both free agents, Gaither's future there is questionable after missing this past season with injury). Moving ahead of them would also be moving ahead of NYJ, CHI, NE, and ATL as well. All 5 of those teams could possibly be interesting in taking Mike Pouncey. If Pounce is available at #25, we may Pounce.
