    There could be a bright spot in all of this....

    Can you say Manti T'eo!!!! There's a chance. Right now Steelers are at pick number 16 and could go up as high as 7. If they get anywhere near pick number 10...it's on!!

    Major centerpiece to any defense.

      Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh where did I say we needed to trade away draft picks? If thew Steelers continue to slide, they will end up around the 10th overall pick. And there is a very good chance that T'eo could be there at that spot.

          I really like T'eo. Seems like a playmaker and a good kid. But I'd rather have the shot, however slim, at a playoff run.

            I'm really torn because I love making the playoffs and anything can happen, but I really think this team doesn't have it this year and I don't want that sick feeling of being one and done like last year.

            A chance to get Manti T'eo would be a sweet consolation prize.

              T'eo in black and gold...I like the idea. I think he could really help this team. We need playmakers and leaders; he seems to fill the bill on both counts.

                What if the bright spot was Lombardi #7 in the case?

                    If T'eo isn't available I would try and trade away our first for an early-mid 2nd rounder and a 2014 1st. The 1st next year looks awesome and having 2 picks in the first would be crazy

                      because next year keisel, hampton, harrison, clark, troy, foote are all another year older

                        We would draft him and he may contribute by 2014!

                            I think just Hampton and Foote from that list.
                            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.

                              Others are Lewis, Mundy, will Allen. I thought Keisel was as well and McLendon. Guess not.
