Right. Honestly though, I didn't think Dennard would be there at 15 for quite some time. But now it is sounding like he may be. And as much as I like Gilbert, Dennard is the better fit.

Excellent mock draft.
cogent. Reasoned. Merits praise.
epic and beast dude!

Those are my top two guys as well. I was asking about Urban the other day on here and I see you've got him going in the 5th. I was thinking that he would make a good target for our 3rd round selection, but didn't know if that was too high. Either way, I like what I see with him and your mock is indeed epic and beast.

Not bad...reminds me of someone else's draft, at least at the top end.

Jordan Tripp was practically in my backyard...think he will be a good one.

This may be the first year I have seen so much agreement on the top 2 picks. This probably means we will completely whiff and miss

Everything I have read says that Dennard is more a man on man cover guy who struggles in zone. Kyle Fulller seems to be the more natural fit for how the Steelers play their DBs.

It wouldn't shock me if the Steelers are not high on any of the top dbs and roll with Mosley if he is there. But, if they are high on a DB, I think it's Dennard. If they roll with a WR in the first, and I don't think they will I hope it's Brandin Cooks.

So? Steelers play a ton of man coverage. What do you think they have been running with Ike Taylor on the opponents number one every week? What makes Dennard the best fit is the fact that he can play man coverage. He gives them options elsewhere, around what he does. What they can do behind his man coverage. Sort of like when they had this corner named Rod Woodson. Remember him? Also Dennard is a very physical corner. He is far more so than Gilbert or Fuller. Adding a blanket corner like Dennard, will no doubt add more pressure coming after the QB. Win-win situation.
