Same thing with McShay.
Little side note on Mike.
I used to work with a former Gator, Mo Mitchell, and after we drafted Maurkice, he said that we took the wrong brother but if we had a chance to get Mike the next year we should definitely grab him. He said Mike is so much meaner and actually stronger. He is still really involved in the UF team, knows a bunch of guys and stays in touch. He actually ran a football camp at the school I coached for and had a few ex gators/current and former Steeler players there. was pretty cool.

No doubt in my mind that Mike is going to be a primetime OG. Before this season, both brothers were considered elite OLmen. His move to center wouldn't scare me off one bit.

He may be meaner and stronger, but Maurkice is the better technician, center, and perhaps has better football intelligence. That is why he was chosen to play center over his brother. Still, mean and strong are great characteristics for a RG.

I think that is quite probable. Maurkice has elite football intelligence. I wonder besides playing center why Mike may have struggled this year. His brother is no longer there calling the shots on the OL. If that was indeed part of the problem putting him right beside his brother would be a perfect fit for both the Steelers and Mike. I love the idea.

it's not like we cut them. we can't draft in the middle of a season. Starks will be back. Colon MAY be back if we decide to keep him. You think the FO is panicking? I highly doubt it.

Re: Guess who Walters has us drafting with our first.

yeah but,
you wanna go into a season where 1 stinger and you have jon scott playing LT again?

surgery to correct a bulging cervical disk isn't something to brush off

I haven't really had a chance to see the severity of Starks injury. Just don't bet that they reach for a left tackle because he's hurt, cause they won't do it.

Re: Guess who Walters has us drafting with our first.

why would drafting a LT be a 'reach'

[birtikidis]

Re: Guess who Walters has us drafting with our first.

bc any worth drafting in the first round always go early. we won't get a first round quality LT at the back end of the first round.

Re: Guess who Walters has us drafting with our first.

As interesting as it would be and a nice story line, it aint happening.
We dont need interior OL.
We need so much more than paying high for an OG. Kemo is good enough now.
We need DL and a T before overpaying for G.
If he falls to second, then maybe

What about Essex? You are comfortable with Essex? Why would we "overpay" for a guard? He will be paid appropriately for where he was drafted and related to his position.

Re: Guess who Walters has us drafting with our first.

By the time we're paying our next first round draft pick there will be a rookie salary cap in place. No one will be overpaying for rookies any longer and rightfully so.

I'd have no problem Mike Pouncey provided he grades out properly and the Steelers do their homework which I have no doubt that they do.
