Official 2014 Visit Thread


I figured it was about time for this year's annual visit thread. I enjoy this time of the year almost as much as the regular season due to all the speculation and discussion that comes with it. This thread, like past years, will hold all info on any official, local and unofficial visits by potential draft picks prior to the draft. In the past we have averaged 4 draftees from these lists so it is a good reference point to get an idea of future Steelers. Here are links to previous year's threads: [URL="http://www.planetsteelers.com/forums/showthread.php/40310-2013-Official-Visit-Thread"]2013[/URL] [URL="http://www.planetsteelers.com/forums/showthread.php/37087-Official-2012-Visit-Thread"]2012[/URL] [URL="http://www.planetsteelers.com/forums/showthread.php/33952-2011-Official-Visit-Thread"]2011[/URL] [URL="http://www.planetsteelers.com/forums/showthread.php/28441-2010-Official-Visit-Thread"]2010[/URL] [URL="http://www.planetsteelers.com/forums/showthread.php/23830-Official-Visit-Thread"]2009[/URL]

Nfldraftscout lists Trey Millard as a FB, so we're probably viewing him in a FB/TE/H-Back type of role...

Yea, he was listed as a TE/FB so I picked TE because that is more of a need than FB for us and his measurables are more along a TE than a FB at 6-2 247.

[Ernie]

not sure why they had Carey visit. As a projected 2nd round pic...RB would be a waste of a pick at that Round for the steelers.

So many needs...much bigger than RB. We are fine at RB with Bell, Dwyer, etc

IF there were 2 2nd round picks would you feel the same? But I wonder if a trade down in the first would bring a 2nd 2rd pick though. If this draft end's up crazy maybe Carey drops to our 3rd rd pick? Wonder what Value the Steelers have on Carey?

Pretty much... RB ranks very low in terms of Steelers' needs IMO.

No surprise, [URL="file://localhost/search"]#Steelers[/URL] to meet with CB Justin Gilbert tonight. He thinks he might run a 4.2

Fla. State free safety Terrence Brooks, who picked off 2 vs. Pitt and dropped 2 others, has met with the Steelers.

Interest in DEs, More Big Receivers, and fun interview w/ ILB Jordan Zumwalt who met w/ [URL="file://localhost/search"]#Steelers[/URL]

With the visits so far we can start to gather a good idea of how the Steelers are looking to go this draft. Strong on D with WR for sure on O with potential of TE/RB. I still fully believe we go WR in the first. Benjamin/Evans most likely, unless Watkins somehow falls. D the rest of the way.
