    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.

    I'm not trading a 2nd round pick next year for Chance Warmack when he has a good shot at being there in the 15 to 20 range.

    A. He's a pure guard and like Decastro, will drop further than people think.

    B. This is one of the deepest guard drafts in a long time. You can get an impact guard to start in the 2nd or 3rd rd. Ala Ben Grubbs when he was selected by the Ravens or the guard from the Falcons that went that same year.

    C. There will be an impact player available at 17. I have heard scouts and a lot of G.M.'s say this is a good year to be outside of the top 10.

    Not when the QB's are these guys. 2 Qb's might go in the top ten if they are lucky. This year is more like 2005 then 2012.

    Here is the draft order:


    1. Kansas City (2-14)
    2. Jacksonville (2-14)
    3. Oakland (4-12)
    4. Philadelphia (4-12)
    5. Detroit (4-12)
    6. Cleveland (5-11)
    7. Arizona (5-11)
    8. Buffalo (6-10)
    9. New York Jets (6-10)
    10. Tennessee (6-10)
    11. San Diego (7-9)


    You can make a case that every team in the top 11 needs a LT desperately except for the Jets, Cleveland, and Buffalo. That leaves eight teams he could go to in the top 10.

    KC, AZ, and NYJ are the teams that need a QB like yesterday. AZ isn't picking one because the Bidwells still want Kolb to work out.

    Likely landing spots for Fisher could be: Oakland, Jacksonville, Philadelphia, Detroit, Arizona, Tennessee, and San Diego.

    San Diego in particular has an atrocious LT situation. You think they are just going to give-up Fisher for a 2nd round pick? Puh lease. You are California Dreamin and don't even know it.
    Here comes the BOOM!

    A player that will get significant playing time either in rotation or starting by the end of the year. Add production to this as well.

    They may not. They may rather get Lance Johnson LT at 17 and add a pick. But again, there is a very good chance the Steelers could actually get up as high as the 8th overall pick by trading next years 2nd rounder. This is an 8-8 team and in the eyes of most in the NFL they are not a strong candidate to be picking at the back end of round 1 next year. Especially after the purging of the roster that is about to take place.

    Forget impact players. What I am talking about is "immediate impact" players. I do not see anyone at 17 expect maybe Kevin Minter who should be taken between 25-32 not 17. And if Rob is trying to tell there is, chances are he's lying to you.

    We have different idea of what an impact player is. If he is a rotation guy he more than likely int making an impact. A contribution?....yes, but not an impact. See Jason Worilds last year. Decent contribution but hardly an impact.

    Of these teams, Kansas City, Oakland, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Arizona, and Buffalo all need a QB's.

    It would take more then next years 2nd rounder to trade up to 8th. Next years pick is worth a round lower this year.

    They may not. They may rather get Lance Johnson LT at 17 and add a pick.
    Hate to tell you, teams aren't going to give up a franchise LT to protect Rivers (A major problem this year). If Fisher was to be available at 11, SD would want way more than a 2nd rounder next year to give him up to the Steelers.

    However, if the Steelers can trade up to grab a player they absolutely view as BPA and an areas of need, I'm all for it.

    Not true. It doesn't lose it's value. It worth just as much this year as it will be next year.
