    An interesting draft. What I am inquiring about is that Corey Lemonier. The name cropped up in the thread by Ed Bouchette about the Steelers missing on OLB's in rd 1. But in the article he mentioned Corey Lemonier as a possible early round pick.

    This made me scratch my head. That was the 1st time I heard of him or saw his name mentioned.

    Prior to that in threads 4 possible DE/OLB or OLB/DE were talked about as possibles. Datone Jones UCLA Ezekiel Ansah BYU Dion Jordan Oregon and Alex Okafor Texas.

    I noticed that all 4 played against Oregon St. I was going to post the youtube links and let the board compare. But now out of the blue so to speak comes this Corey Lemonier. Wha?? Who is he? There are some vids on him but is he really in the same class as those others? Oh well, I am just going to wait till April and see what happens.

    If you gave Timmons an entire offseason and training camp to work at OLB and actually left him at that position instead of switching him to different positions from week-to-week, he'd be fine...

    It wouldn't make sense to switch Timmons at this point as he is playing at a high level on the inside. Who in the heck would replace him on the inside with the same results?
    L.T. had 106 tackles, 6 sacks, and 3 int's in 2012 and he's getting better, plus the critical thing is he has the speed when he has to drop back in coverage.

    Worlids most likely will take Harrison' spot, and we might draft an OLB but whoever we draft probably won't see the field much outside of special teams. Worlids won't be JH but I think hell be good, thats why I think if we do draft an OLB it will be later in the draft, Safety or CB look to be positions they want early in the draft.

    I see some of you are a little warmer to this than you were 2 months ago.

    I read a (respected) mock with:
    1. Jarvis Jones
    2. John Jenkins

    THAT would be winning the lottery... i think I'd pass out!

    Lt not going to move to OLB you can forget it. Think we might see a move to a 4-3

    If Worilds fails, I have a feeling that they'll try something that they've experimented with in the past... Standing Kiesel up and having him play OLB.
