Post combine and week 1 of free agency mock draft.

[hawaiiansteel]

You’re giving 30 spots and only getting a 2nd,3rd and 4th ?

that’s poor value

yes, very poor value.

[whisper]

I too am remaining optimistic that someone is going to drop to us at # 17.

It just better be a REAL player, no more Burns or Edmunds in a reach move.

We’re probably going to need a wr or 2 or TEs to go in top16 for that to happen.
hopefully these pro days spring someone up the board.

Fingers crossed.

[Joel Buchsbaum]

but its Stetson Bennett!!

another misguided mock to take a QB. At least he didn’t try to move up to get a RB in the first.. lol

Robinson will be gone before pick #17.

[Steel Maniac]

Robinson will be gone before pick #17.

I hope … that will push another good line prospect down to us.

[hawaiiansteel]

Robinson will be gone before pick #17.

a lot of mocks have him now going to the Bears.

[Joel Buchsbaum]

a lot of mocks have him now going to the Bears.

He might. The man is a talent ( B Robinson ) He also might go to New England or Houston. The internet mock are often slow to reflect the real value of players.

I do not think I gave up too much in the mock draft. If it makes anyone feel better we have the 2nd round pick next year as well.

The Steelers trade down in round with new England getting our their first round pick and Steelers gaining New Englands 46th ( 2nd round ) ( 76th ) 3 round and 4th round ( pick 107th ) pick. And next years 2024 2rd round pick.

With the activity in free agency and guard now less of a need and the need for ILB greater I thought I update my mock draft.

The Steelers trade down in round with new England getting our their first round pick and Steelers gaining New Englands 46th ( 2nd round ) ( 76th ) 3 round and 4th round ( pick 107th ) pick. And next years 2024 2rd round pick.


This gives us this year:

2nd round pick #32
2nd round pick # 46
2nd round pick # 49

3rd round pick # 76
3rd round round pick # 80

4th round pick # 107
4th round pick #120

7ht round pick #236
7th round pick # 243


We select:

2a) OT D Jones - A huge RT with gigantic hands, long arms, and muling ability. Did not give up a sack last year.

2b ) ILB J Campbell. A 3 down ILB. Can shed blocks and tackle, cover, and is very smart and a leader.

2c ) CB Philips. A nickel corner with great feel and smarts for the game, and great play making ability. Has 9 career interceptions, 4 of which for scores.

3 a ) DT / NT Dexter. An active and big player who gets a lot of tackles and is hard to move. Not a traditional NT.

3b ) QB Benett. Showed a good arm velocity at the combine. Quick as a cat. Hard to sack. Mobile enough to make the defense pay. Tough and accurate. SEC battle tested

4a ) G Vohress. A super strong player who can block on the second level. Got hurt as the combine so he falls to us.

4b ) S Brown. A very productive player who fills the stat sheets. More than the sum of his parts.

7 A. P Turk Has a big leg. Good hang time too.

7B ) ILB Heyward. An active type who made plays all over the field. If the name looks familiar yes he is related to iron head.

Does anyone have the old Jimmy Johnson chart? I think we got enough in the trade downs ( TWO 2's this year and next ) , a 3rd and 4th) in exchange for our 17th pick.

[whisper]

Someone will drop to 17 so no thanks on trading that spot away.

Maybe 32 is a possibility to trade depending on who is there to take.

I wonder if with Kahn, do we still "run" up to the podium to make our picks, like we are so super smart and "know" how great our picks are without any question? That hasn't been the greatest look, really. How "genius" do we look after taking Bush so high? Run, run up there!
