    how about a trade back to around 25 or so and getting matt elam then taking a chance on rambo in the 3rd. Use your 2nd on a WR like justin hunter or whoever they like in that area.

    I dont know the trade value chart but moving back 7-8 spots in the 1st might land us an extra 3rd.

    I'm actually not a big Elam fan. I would put Swearinger, Cyprien, Vacarro, and Philip Thomas above him.

    Elam is a pure SS. He is limited in coverage and was exposed against Louisville of all teams.
    Here comes the BOOM!

    Youre absolutely correct, so allow me to rephrase.

    In my opinion expecting McClendon, fangupo or ta'mu to perform even at the level of 2012 Casey Hampton is a bad plan.
    same with expecting Allen and/or golden or a rookie to play as well as Clark is a bad plan.

    To me a plan would be to be getting reps to the eventual replacement and that didnt really happen. I'm sure they have a plan, they're professionals, it simply hasn't revealed itself yet and IMO what I see isn't much.

    We'll see as they say

    Hampton was an average player this year. Hampton gave you a handful of plays a game where he showed what he could do in the past but that was it. If you don't know where Hampton is at in his career...Watch the Browns games. Hampton was Mack's B!tch. Mack is a heck of a football player but when I see Hampton getting reached, turned, and driven away from the play by ONE guy & he is the C....Game over. At that point you need some type of athletic abilty to get yourself back in the play....Which he doesn't have. Most of the big running plays that were given up this year had alot to do with Gs getting to our LBs clean or LBs over persuing because they were late getting to the gap fighting off blocks. The X's & O's say he is done, the CAP says he is done, and the depth chart says it is time.

    Jadeveon Clowney should be the top pick in the 2014 draft, and it shouldn't be close. I have no idea what Clowney's girl and mom look like, but I'd prefer to see them at the games in black and gold, if that means that Clowney is out there eating opposing offenses for lunch.
    Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

    Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

    We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

    We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

    It has never been the Steelers way to "clean house" and gut a unit of the team. They have always managed to keep key experience in times of transition.

    I agree with JPN, wonder if the docs saw something they didn't like and his or the team's hand has been forced....

    It's this sort of analysis of Hampton that makes Chadman fearful of what we'll see next year at NT. If McLendon or Ta'amu couldn't force the Steelers hand to rotate Hampton out more often last season- where does that mean these young NT's are in their own development? If Hampton was 'done' last season, how ordinary were McLendon & Ta'amu??

    And what should we expect in 2013 as a result?
    The people that are trying to make the world worse never take a day off, why should I?

    Light up the darkness.
