For the record- if the Steelers ARE going OLB at some stage in the first 2 rounds- Mercilus & Bruce Irvin would be the 2 Chadman would consider the best options.

Not being funny- but can you explain why? He's 260lbs, which is bigger than Farrior ever was, and quite agile.

There may have been a slight over reaction in there somewhere, Chadman suspects...

Too much baggage for my taste re: Irvin.
If Roquan Smith falls to late teens, trade 1.28 & 2.60 to SEA for 1.18 & 4.120:
1.18 LB Roquan Smith
3.92 FS Jessie Bates
4.120 RB Royce Freeman
5.148 DT Ken Norton
5.165 TE Chris Herndon
7.220 WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling
7.246 OT Brett Toth
If not:
1.28 LB Leighton Vander Esch
2.60 C/G Billy Price
3.92 FS Jessie Bates
5.148 DT Ken Norton
5.165 TE Chris Herndon
7.220 RB Ito Smith
7.246 WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling
I hope all this talk of taking more LBs in the first 2 rounds is a moot point. We need big uglies now as in an OT, 2 OGs, and a NT, Casey and Colon are no guarantees to perform at a high level early this season if at all. At least we have Harrison, Timmons, Foote, Sylvester, and Woodley to start this year at full strength.
Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, hear the lamentations of their women.
Read an interesting report on him that suggets that the way he interviewed & addressed his previous issues may actually get people onside with him- a guy that went through the tough times & emerged a better man- sort of deal.
In Chadman's opinion, there is NO BETTER pass rusher in the draft.

I agree. IMO, G and OT are our biggest needs. It just seems like the Steelers FO places higher value on defense and pass rushers especially. If one of the premiere pass-rushers fell to us I don't think they would be able to resist.
Another AS masterpiece.
I am a fan of Bruce Irvin.
If Steelers want an OLB then i would go with Bruce Irvin or Nick Perry. BTW how can anyone go wrong with a PREDATOR aka Bruce Irvin
Steelers Draft 2015
Rd 1: Devante Parker - WR/ Kevin Johnson - CB
Rd 2: Danielle Hunter -OLB
Rd 3: Steven Nelson - CB
Rd 4: Derron Smith - S
Rd 5: Henry Anderson - DE
Rd 6: Wes Saxton - TE
Rd 7: Deon Simon - DT
More defense early in this draft will doom any attempts Haley makes to improve the offense. We've got about 5 more year of ben being the starting QB. I would prefer he was not injured on the sideline for a significant part of that time. We need OL. Defense does not win in today's NFL, offense wins.
