Did you say DJ Williams? That sounds like an excellent second round selection. :P

No way i draft D J Williams in Rd 2. He is 6'2" and 235 lbs. I think he could be drafted to replace Johnson but Rd 2 is too early for a player like him.

I would take a guy like Luke Stocker over D J Williams.

Talking to some people well connected. The Steelers are very interested in getting ahead of the Ravens who are drafting #26. It would probably mean giving up their 2nd and getting back a third.

Hmm..is it for a CB?? I think Ravens will look for a CB in Rd 1.

The Ravens also have OL issues at RG/RT (Yanda and Chester are both free agents, Gaither's future there is questionable after missing this past season with injury). Moving ahead of them would also be moving ahead of NYJ, CHI, NE, and ATL as well. All 5 of those teams could possibly be interesting in taking Mike Pouncey. If Pounce is available at #25, we may Pounce.

to move up to #25 (720 pts) would require the Steelers to give up their #31 (600 pts) and #95 (120 pts) - the trade works out perfectly point-wise.

in other words, we give our 1st and 3rd to move up to get Seattle's 1st round choice.

essentially the same deal that got us holmes. i guess drafting 32 that year , we needed a little more in points and also gave a 6th rounder up

Actually, we gave up our 3rd and 4th to move up from 32 to 25 to get Holmes in 2006.

We gave up a 3rd and a 6th to move up from 27 to 16 to get Troy Polamalu in 2003.

Re: SKL live from Indy

According to Gary Miller, Smith wrote off those issues as "youthful mistakes [during] freshman year." However, teams have asked him about it over the last several days. Smith, it turns out, had been charged twice for possessing alcohol as a minor and had a positive drug test.

guess Jimmy Smith is going to get drafted by the Bengals, seems like a perfect fit...

Before or after they draft Ryan Mallet?

Re: SKL live from Indy

I think Ruth nailed it. Matt Birk will be 35 by the start of the season. Pouncey has expressed he wants to play C. The competition between the Pouncey twins is a friendly "heated" battle. Steelers & Ravens just love each other. Does anyone else see a better way to add some heat to a rivalry that seems cold, dead, & non-existent??? I can see ESPN's segue into the "Heated Rivals" theme opening up the first Steelers - Ravens game in 2011. A Pouncey standing in the mirror where it looks like he sees his reflection...The camera pans back and one is wearing a Steelers uniform & the other a Ravens. OH GOD...My tradeup theory just became more relivant with the added urgency of keeping P2 away from the Ratbirds.

For those of you that take things to seriously...That was called humor. Suggesting trading up for P2 is about getting P2 and not keeping another team away from him.

1 (TU W/1 & 3) M Pouncey G
2 (TO F/ 3* & 4*)
3* Lawrence Guy DE
4* Buster Skrine CB
4 Cortez Allen CB
5 Jah Reid OT
6 Chris Neild NT
7 Da'Norris Searcy S
