Steel Maniac's Time-Based Prediction: Lamar Jackson will be a bust and total flop in the NFL.
What Actually Happened: Lamar Jackson became the youngest two-time NFL MVP winner ever.

Boom........Knuckle up. Punk.
My IT guy...Hahahahahahaha
I wouldn't have a problem with Jones.. but please, please, please pick up Ertz in the second. We need playmakers on O.
Sign me up for both Jarvis Jones and Zach Ertz with our first two picks!
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.
ditto... i'd take that.

DeVille's final Mock
1.20 - Tailiese Fuaga, OT, Oregon St
2.51 - Zach Frazier, C, WVU
3.84 - Luke Mccaffery, WR, Rice
3.98 - Andru Phillips, CB, Kentucky
4.117 - Maason Smith, DT, LSU
6.178 - Travis Glover, OT, Ga State
6.195 - Dillon Johnson, RB, Washington
I think that you can disregard the "Lebeau doesn't let them play for two years" argument here. There are usually two overriding factors behind why our D players can't get on the field right away:
1) They have to learn a new position and scheme
2) There are already superior vets in front of them
Hood and Heyward had Smith and Keisel in place ahead of them. Hood was new to the 3-4. Timmons was moving inside in a 3-4 to from outside in a 4-3. etc...
In this case, you would have a player coming in who was a 3-4 OLB in college. He is not coming in behind 5 time pro-bowler, two time all pro, former DPOY James Harrison. He would come in and compete with a group that includes Worilds, Robinson, and Carter. A group with 13 combined career starts.
good point...with 13 combined starts between them I think Jones could pull a Woodley... ehh, first year Woodley, not last year.
Stop introducing logic into the discussion a rookie should never have to wait a couple of years to play and, particularly, a 1st round rookie. He should be inserted into the lineup immediately, many teams do this every year and are successful from what I hear.

Exactly! If Jones is drafted by the Steelers at 17, he comes in and starts from day one regardless of what this organization has done in the past. In this case, the history of what this origination has done draft-wise does not come into play because of the factors you point too.

Has anyone mentioned that Tyler Eiffert is available in the draft this year? I hear he's a pretty good tight end.
