Mike Adams in many mock drafts

[Dee Dub]

I am a Buckeye fan and I would draft him...

I think Adams is a guy who would respond well if put in the right situation...

I dont want to use the 24th overall pick on a guy who needs the right situation in order to respond. That's what mid to late round picks are for. I want a guy who doesnt need it to be a certain situaton in order to reponsd. We are talking about a very important pick for the Steelers. We need it to be a can't miss.

Big difference.

What constitutes "can't miss"? Chadman sees Hightower as your #1 pick in your mock- but there are questions about his lateral ability & his ability to cover recievers. Is he "can't miss"? There are questions asked about Cordy Glenn's fitness & conditioning. Is he "can't miss"?

I want to trade up for DeCastro...he's as close as you'll find to "can't miss" in this entire draft.

With my meaningless opinion and complete lack of real football knowledge I would like to select with the 24th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft---Cordy Glenn as "can't miss." I'd take him over Adams and Hightower in a millisecond.

Agreed. Glenn would be my pick as well.

There is no such thing as a "can't miss" draft pick in the second half of the first round...there are either questions about work ethic (Adams, Glenn) or athletic ability (Hightower) or both...if there were fewer questions, they would be early first round picks...

The Steelers have made a living off of drafting capable starters in the first round, especially during the Colbert era...whether they choose Adams, Glenn or Hightower in the 1st, I have faith in the organization and their track record that the choice will be the right one...

Now we're talking. If the Steelers are showing interest in Adams, Chadman is willing to trust their judgement in him.

There's no such thing as "can't miss" anywhere in the draft (see Couch, Tim or Russell, JaMarcus).

I too have faith in the organization to do the right thing here. They have proven themselves over and over. They know the real needs of this team and the type of men they want wearing it's uniform. That said, I would love it if we could get Keuchly as the QB for this Defense, though I know it's probably a dream.

[RuthlessBurgher]

The latest Drafttek projection had Kuechly falling to us at #24 (of course, Draftek, while a neat little idea of a program, typically sucks when it comes to ranking players).

Well Steelers are showing more interest in Mike Adams compared to Donta Hightower at the moment. Still lot of time left for the draft.

Mike Tomlin, Todd Haley and company visited Ohio State Pro-Day. Now Mike Adams visits Pittsburgh Steelers.

Scott Brown of the Trib has some news regarding 2012 NFL Draft prospects in whom the Steelers might be interested. The Steelers have recently had visits with three players from outside Pittsburgh, and [URL="http://twitter.com/ScottBrown_Trib/status/184623594863734784"]one of those[/URL] was Ohio State’s Mike Adams, an offensive lineman who looks like a likely first-round pick.
The other two [URL="http://twitter.com/ScottBrown_Trib/status/184624231194181632"]were[/URL] Cincinnati defensive end Derek Wolfe and Florida International wideout T.Y. Hilton. The Steelers love their defensive linemen, of course, but Wolfe’s visit is still a bit surprising — the Steelers need a nose tackle, but not so much a defensive end, since two of their last three first-round picks have been defensive ends. I can’t find anything to suggest that Wolfe can be an NFL nose tackle. He’s a likely mid-round pick.
Hilton also will likely be a mid-round pick. It wouldn’t be surprising to see the Steelers take a wide receiver at some point after the first couple rounds, since the team can use a bit of depth behind Mike Wallace (assuming he returns), Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders.

If the Steelers are truly interested (which I think it's more curiosity than true interest)...but if they are I will agree with you. As much as I have watched the Buckeyes and Adams, if the Steelers think he is the man, then based on history I am bound to be wrong.

That's it, we're putting Shawn down as "maybe" then for Mike Adams with the 1st Round pick!

[Chadman]

So they went 'en masse' to his Pro Day, and now they bring him in for a visit.

Chadman is guessing he's in "The 1st Round Bubble".

[Shawn]

I think they see first round talent, and are looking at him closer. My opinion is when they look closer they will see a guy who doesn't want to be great.

I'm always in favor of drafting Buckeyes...even Mike Adams.
