    we need 2 more gators

    starks, pouncey and a improving gilbert have been nice florida gator draft picks that have made our O line decent....
    Lets stick there for our line prospects

      okay I will settle for that then....I'm not even a florida fan, but they have supplied us with some nice linemen

        cordy glenn at LG from UGA would round it out nicely.

          i like it, and the best part is, it would be a young line that we could have for many years, outside of starks, all are under 25 I believe.

              I don't think there's a Gator O-Lineman worth drafting now...based on where we'll be in the order, we should start familiarizing ourselves with guys like -

              1. David DeCastro, Stanford
              2. Peter Konz, Wisconsin
              3. Ryan Miller, Colorado
              4. Quentin Saulsberry, Mississippi St.
              5. Derek Dennis, Temple
              6. Joe Looney, Wake Forest
              It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust & sweat & blood...

                DeCastro is a great choice. He is a very good pass blocker and a tough and athletic run blocker. Ryan Miller has not looked good this year.
                Even if Bill Belichick was getting an atomic wedgie, his face would look exactly the same.

                  I really like what I see from Gilbert but we need to have a good back up for him because he is always limping off the field or taking a few plays off to get taped up.

                    That does seem to be the case doesn't it?...I'm hoping it's just him not being in shape & that he needs to get stronger. If he stays at RT for another year, do the coaches move Colon move inside? Either way, if we get our hands on DeCastro this line goes from below average to good the moment he signed his contract.

                      I would love that!! Sign me up for him or David DeCastro from Stanford.

                      Cordy Glenn, David DeCastro, or FS Markelle Martin of Oklahoma State I think will be at or near where the Steelers are drafting and all 3 fill a need.

                        The legend of Tim Tebow:

                        50% ESPN hype

                        50% benefitting from playing behind the Pouncey twins and Gilbert in college.

                        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.
