    PlanetSteelers 2012 Board Mock Draft Commentary Thread

    Feel free trash talk each other, praise solid picks, make fun of crappy picks (within reason, of course...be respectful in your mocking of this mock draft). You can suggest trades to each other via PM, but you can make public that a certain pick is on the trade block on this thread if you'd like. Enjoy...
    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.

    Whoops...151...I posted your pick for the Eagles (based on your PM) right after you posted it yourself. Your post wasn't there when I started making mine...guess you snuck it in there while I was adding funny pictures of Andy Reid. At least the picks are consistent, though, eh?

        First they prevent us from pairing up the Pouncey twins last year, and now they take DeCastro from us too??? I'm ready to start rooting for these Dolphins to get caught in tuna nets.

            A few thoughts on the picks thus far:
            David DeCastro will be a great guard in the NFL. While I'm not sure that's the greatest positional value (especially at 8th overall), he might be the safest bet in the draft (even moreso than his college teammate Andrew Luck)
            Dontari Poe is kind of a boom or bust selection. His tape isn't great, but guys with his skills are a VERY rare breed. I can also understand why the Chiefs would select him. They need a nose tackle.
            Not sure I quite understand Seattle taking Ryan Tannehill. They signed Matt Flynn as a free agent, and I'm assuming they did so with the idea that he'd be their starter. I guess if he doesn't work out in the next couple of years, Tannehill would be waiting in the wings. So I can understand it in that sense, but I may have gone with Kuechly instead.
            Then Dallas' pick of Quinton Coples is one I don't particularly love. Based on pure potential/body type, he's a top 5-10 talent. However, this guy has admitted on TV to not giving his best effort during his senior season at UNC. Makes me wonder what he'll do with a guaranteed contract. Steal if he's motivated, but I could just as easily see him being a big time bust.

                I sent you a PM about that Charger pick yesterday. Did you get it?

                  Yes. I tried sending a reply back, but it said you had a high volume of messages in your inbox and wouldn't allow me to send the reply.
                  That trade is one I would accept.

                      Okay...I will push that trade through now and will make my pick for the Steelers. Nice doing business with you!

                        Cool. Since the Chargers would now have the last pick of today, would it be alright if I went slightly past their new allotted time slot of 4:00 EST to 4:59 EST? I most likely will not be by a computer at those times, but I do have a list of players available that the Chargers would want at 24.
                        If I should PM you with those guys, I guess you'll need to make room and delete some past messages because that is what was giving me problems last night.

                          Nope, I think you should forfeit the pick .....

                          I'm suprised the Steelers have traded up to get Martin!

                            You are the last pick of the day, so you can do it any time this evening (before 9:00 a.m. tomorrow).

                              Great. I'll have it late in the afternoon/early in the evening then.
