Georgia Bulldogs and possible Steelers draft picks on display

True but sometimes all it takes is giving one a shot as well. And that is something the Steelers rarely do.

Who would you have given a shot to this year, and who would you have benched?

Who would you have given a shot to this year, and who would you have benched?

I was one who thought at the beginning of the year that this teams wasn't going anywhere. As a result I would have given the positions to Cameron Hayward , Jason Worilds, and Jonathan Dwyer (not benched him because he fumbled a couple of times). And I would have drafted different. And it would have been with the thought of giving rookies a chance.

Fair enough, and I certainly respect that you answer the question. As for Heyward and Worilds, they both saw plenty of PT this year. Heyward has continued to grow, and I think that eventually he'll be a good starter at DE, but Keisel is a leader on the defense and I wouldn't have benched him. He may not be as good as he was a few years ago, but he is still an asset. I wouldn't bench Harrison or Woodley for Worilds (as a starter) and I think the coaching staff has seen enough of him that they can properly evaluate him. He seems to be a Clark Haggans level player - a solid 3-4 OLB, but not spectacular.

Georgia is the most talented defense this season, I believe. The problem is that they (as usual) underperformed.

Jarvis Jones is a beast and doesn't take plays off.

Ogeltree and Rambo are both uber talented but lack discipline. They are often out of position. Ogletree is not stout in any way. He is great in pursuit and in pass coverage. Rambo is a great talent, but I don't know if his head is screwed on well enough to be a Steeler. Against South Carolina, Rambo got beat deep, then let a smaller receiver take the ball away from him. Then, he topped it off by taking an awful personal foul. He could be a great value pick on day two and could turn out to be an all-pro with his ball skills and instincts. But, just seems like an Oakland Raider to me.

Jenkins is another guy with great talent, but often underperforms too often.

Shawn Williams allows too many big plays.

Sanders Commings has great size and athleticism but is very inconsistent.

Too me, Georgia is soft too often. Players from a team like this scare me a bit.
