Not bad, although I'm looking at Chance Warmack in Round 1. If we don't fix the OL once and for all we will never get the ofense on track and we will waste the years we have left with Ben.

I don't think Warmack is there at 17. I would love them to bring Starks back again. Let Gilbert and Adams battle for RT. Loser and Beachum would be quality backups.

[RuthlessBurgher]

A nice, well-rounded draft that fills multiple needs. And now you can change the mock in your sig that has us taking Cordy Glenn last spring!

Does anybody else like Urtz from Stanford? He looks like he could be a great addition to the 2 TE set. A big body who does well going up for the ball much like Jimmy Graham or Gronkowski.

[Mister Pittsburgh]

I'd be happier with the one in my sig....we take a lot of the same positions though.

He is a phenomenal TE, but why use a first round pick on a position that is far down the list of team priorities? For what you are asking of Ertz (2 TE's set formations), the Steelers can get in the mid to late rounds.

It won't be another Guard. I think they will draft a Guard in the 3rd-4th Rd. This is a very deep guard draft. You can get one in the 3rd to back-up Colon (Who will be back and starting).

Yeah, but we'd likely have to use our 2nd round pick to land Zach Ertz, and we have more important needs to fill with our high picks (unless Heath's knee injury is worse than we think).

I agree. Love the kid but a guy like Stoneburner or Jack Doyle late is more like it. FA is a possibility here too.

What do you think about Joseph Fauria of UCLA? Here's a guy who is big target, good hands, and caught 11 TD's in an offense that was run-oriented.

I remember his uncle Christian was a passable #2 TE for the Seahawks and Pats a decade or so ago.

I'd be fine with him in 6 or 7. Very weak year for TE's after Ertz and Eifert.

[MeetJoeGreene]

That is a remarkably cogent and comprehensive mock draft whose foundational premises address the Steelers multitudinous deficiencies while providing substantive depth at several essential positions.

[Dee Dub]

1)Johnathan Hankins-DT-Ohio St.
2)Stepfan Taylor-RB-Stanford
3)Tony Jefferson-S-Oklahoma
4)Kenny Stills WR-Oklahoma
5)Kevin Reddick-ILB-UNC
6)Jake Stoneburner-TE-Ohio St.
7)Sean Renfree-QB-Duke

By the way, I like your draft. Finally!! I would probably prefer Jesse Williams over Hankins for two reasons. I love Hankins but he did have a little bit of a down year. And two, I think Williams is the more pure NT for a 3-4.

What is there to not like about Tony Jefferson? You can move him all around the field. Stills and Reddick could be better players in the NFL. They could really surprise at the next level. And Taylor is a solid back.
