    Who do you want for the Steelers in the 2012 draft?

    I'm thinkin' at least top 15 pick and quite possibly a top 10 pick.

    So if this is the top 20 players on the board, who do you want?

    1. Andrew Luck QB Stanford
    2. Matt Kalil OT USC
    3. Quinton Coples DE N. Carolina
    4. Landry Jones QB Oklahoma
    5. Trent Richardson RB Alabama
    6. Luke Kuechly ILB Boston Coll.
    7. Justin Blackmon WR Okla. State
    8. Jonathan Martin OT Stanford
    9. Alameda Ta'amu DT Washington
    10. Manti Te'o ILB Notre Dame
    11. Riley Reiff OT Iowa
    12. Vontaze Burfict ILB Arizona St.
    13. Brandon Thompson DT Clemson
    14. Janoris Jenkins CB N. Alabama
    15. Cordy Glenn OG Georgia
    16. Matt Barkley QB USC
    17. Morris Claiborne CB LSU
    18. Jared Crick DE Nebraska
    19. Kheeston Randall DT Texas
    20. Alshon Jeffery WR S. Carolina

    I don't know the specific names well enough at this point, but my priority list would start with an offensive tackle, followed closely by a guard. Before the season, I think a corner would have been my top priority, but with the lines continually getting manhandled, I'd like to start by rebuilding the offensive line.

    On defense, a stud DT, a ballhawk at corner or free safety and ILB are the obvious needs, but I would address the offensive line in round 1 and maybe even round 2 as long as the right player is there.

        Matt Kalil is a perfect LT. He really has great movement skills. But, there is no way we get that kid. He will be a top 5 pick and there is no way in hell (with this cake schedule) that we finish with a record that will get us into the top five. I don't think we will even get a shot at Martin. Reiff or D.J. Fluker (if he declares) are possibilities at this point.

        From that list I'd take Kalil.

        Realistically, the best available OL is a pretty good bet right now. But, I think we'll go for a ILB or Ta'amu at NT. CB or FS are also possibilities.
        Even if Bill Belichick was getting an atomic wedgie, his face would look exactly the same.

          Who ranked Alshon Jeffrey at #20? Both him and Justin Blackmon should both go in the top 10, easily.
          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 want OL in rounds 1 and 2...BPA. I think the secondary might actually shape up into a decent unit.
            Trolls are people too.

              OT Riley Rieff. i think he'll drop into the 20's by draft day.

              Also there's an OT fro Oklahoma St. who looks pretty good.

                Also, where is the Kirkpatrick kid from Alabama? Seems like he is in the Patrick Peterson mold, so he should also go top 10, but isn't even listed there in the top 20...no way that guy's late first round pick in my mind.

                  I like Cordy Glenn. Reiff is extremely overrated. SMU has an OT named Kelvin Beachum that I like quite a bit. He probably would be a 2nd rond guard target. I am not ready to put us in the top half of the draft quite yet. After Ben gets his neck broke, yes, but not yet.

                      Optimistically drafting in the bottom 8 of the draft. I think this is a realistic wish list

                      1) Levy Adcock-OT-OSU, Andrew Datko-OT-FSU, Cordy Glenn-OG-UGA
                      2) Kelvin Beachum-OL-SMU, Coryell Judie-CB-TAMU,Brandon Thompson-DT-Clemson
                      3) Marcus Forston-DT-Miami, Vick Ballard-RB-Miss. St., Rokevius Watkins-G-S.Car.
                      4) Jake Soneburner-TE-OSU, Don Barclay-OT-WVU, Doug Martin-RB-BSU

                        These rankings are coming from Scouts Inc.. I agree about Alshon Jeffery and Dre Kirkpatrick that they should be higher but fact of the matter is Alshon Jeffery is having a down year so far. I think that has a lot to do with Stephen Garcia though.

                        I realy think they have Kuechly way too high.

                          I am with 100% on this one. I love Glenn. He's showing me he can actually play LT. I think he would be best as a guard but every time I see him play tackle he flat out dominates.

                            I'm sorry to say this but the Steelers are bad on both sides of the ball. Soft on defense and have major holes on both fronts. I dont care what our schedule is, this team is not very good. I hope they turn it around but I dont think it will happen. I see a possible top ten pick.

                            What we thought was a soft schedule was us looking at it as a defending AFC Champion. This team is far from that now. It is now a very poor football team.
