A Worild of Difference

[BigRob]

Yup. Steelers are stuck with him for years, for better or worse.

He reminds me a lot of Terrell Suggs.

Suggs was very good early on, and then let his conditioning go and had a few mediocre injury ridden years. All of the sudden he wants paid again, gets in very good condition and goes on to win DPOY.

I think it was Keith Butler that said during pre-season the thing that was holding Lamarr back was his conditioning. If he was in the best shape of his life he would be unstoppable.

Gildon 2.0?

Would Woodley be any good playing at ROLB you think?

[BigRob]

He's just not as dominate a run defender as Harrison. However, he may benefit from playing next to Keisel.

Only on a Steelers board would you ever find someone complaining that they are 'stuck' with LaMarr Woodley.

The dude is a beast. Injuries happen.

I for one am already on the OLB in the 1st and Harrison out for 2013 wagon. Worlds performance was a pleasant surprise but he will have to put a string of them together before I say he is the future.

Oh Geez JPN...going to have to disagree with you! NT now that Ta'amu is gone, SS, FS & WR if Wallace moves on are surely higher priorities as there is no real progression plan for these spots.

Aldon Smith of the 49ers has 16.5 sacks already. And in this upcoming draft it seems loaded with Aldon Smith types. All quick of the edge, and long and lanky.

Bjoern Werner
Barkevious Mingo
Sam Montgomery
Damontre Moore
Dion Jordan
Alex Okafor
Jackson Jeffcoat (hurt but still could declare)
Corey Lemonier
Cornellius "Tank" Carradine ( he too is injured but still may declare)

Keisel is the same age as Harrison. If you are thinking about moving Woodley to Harrison's spot when Harrison leaves, it doesn't matter if he'd benefit from playing next to Keisel, since Keisel would be on his way out as well around the same time that Harrison leaves.

Ta'Amu isn't exactly gone. He's on our practice squad right now. He'll be back in Latrobe again next year fighting for a roster spot. And since Hampton's contract is up after this season, I expect McLendon and Ta'Amu to split time at NT next year.

Not gonna lie if Louis Nix III declares and is available for our 1st pick I would be happy.

Safety isnt elite but it is deep this year and I think good quality guys could be taken in rounds 2-4. I still think ILB is something we should do early. Good amount of guys coming out that play in a 3-4 system might shorten their learning period.

I think that the production from Wallace shows that we dont need a burner in this system. I think a mid round WR is best, this draft looks deep at WR. The FO has shown they know how to pick those guys, I think if they take one it will be middle draft.

Might be a dumb question, but do we get a comp pick for Willie Gay going to Arizona?
