Who's the No. 24 Pick in the 2012 NFL Draft?

Mike Adams, OT, Ohio State

Mark Barron, SS, Alabama

Coby Fleener, TE, Stanford

Dont'a Hightower, ILB, Alabama

Peter Konz, C, Wisconsin

Doug Martin, RB, Boise State

Whitney Mercilus, DE/OLB, Illinois

Nick Perry, DE/OLB, USC

Devon Still, DE/DT, Penn State

[Oviedo]

I took Konz. The interior of our OL will get Ben killed and render our running game ineffective unless we improve it. Konz is the type of guy with positional flexibility who is better than either Guard we have and is a great insurance policy if Pouncey's leg injuries continue to occur.

I'm voting for Mark Barron. You?

I'm with you Ruthless. If I have to pick at #24 and these are the players left, I'm sticking to my board and taking BPA. Happens to be a position of need...Just not the highest position of need. I re-arranged them to how I have them on my board. On a side note, I like David Wilson better than Doug Martin.

Mark Barron, SS, Alabama
Nick Perry, DE/OLB, USC
Whitney Mercilus, DE/OLB, Illinois
Mike Adams, OT, Ohio State
Coby Fleener, TE, Stanford
Devon Still, DE/DT, Penn State
Dont'a Hightower, ILB, Alabama
Doug Martin, RB, Boise State
Peter Konz, C, Wisconsin

I took hightower because I didn't like any of the Oline available.

[Sugar]

Looks like Hightower is the man so far. Imagine that, Steelers fans like the Linebacker!

[steelz09]

I chose Barron.

[ikestops85]

I chose Barron.

Me too. If we don't have a shot at DeCastro or Glenn then I think Barron is the guy who could make the most impact.

i've been predicting barron for a month now

[grotonsteel]

I chose Devon Still. Move Hood to NT.

[Oviedo]

Looks like Hightower is the man so far. Imagine that, Steelers fans like the Linebacker!

And they will continue to complain about "inconsistent" offense when we get no help for the offense. The "Fire Haley" and "Haley Sucks" threads should begin soon after the first game where we fail in short yardage with our terrible Guards and Ben gets sacked three times.

[steelblood]

yes, I'd take Barron in a second!. He'd be a little out of position at FS, but I think he and troy would be great together. Our interception numbers should go up as well.

[steelz09]

I've watched Barron play and I'm certain he can play FS. He looks to be good and coverage, aggresive in the run support, and the ability to close and make the interception.

I would prefer Glenn or DeCastro because of our interioir line situation but if both are gone, Barron would be a good pick.

[SteelBucks]

Peter Konz. Draft him, plug him in at Guard and enjoy an improved OL.

Even though the position he is best suited for is currently occupied by one of the best the game has ever seen? Mark Barron is not a free safety. He is an NFL strong safety. And the Steelers do not need to be using a first round pick on one of those.

[steelz09]

I disagree. I've seen some very good coverage skills from Barron.
