We are up to the Steelers pick in round 2 of our board mock. Who would you take here?

[pfelix73]

BPA- Teo. Take the card up immediately and don't look back..

[NJ-STEELER]

LBs do... Woodley and Timmons both played significant time as rooks... so much so that Foote left and went to Detroit....

Iirc. Timmons started in his 3rd year. Didnt do much as a rook, mostly just special teams. Played some more in his 2nd year. Started in his 3rd. For being the 15th pick in the draft, that's not really impressive IMO

woodley was the one who played his rookie year (late). Had 2 sacks in playoff game vs jags. Then started in his 2nd year


ps. For all the crap foote gets on here. He was a starter at ILB in the 2 years we won our last titles.

Considering both of our safetys are 32 and 34 years old, and Reid is a top tier prospect at his position, I felt this would be huge win for the steelers.

It probably won't happen just because I think he will be gone already, but this is who I would pick if he were available. (Although Hankins is a tough one to pass up.)

[buckeyehoppy]

I voted for Hankins. But, really, there are a lot of nice options on this list if they were all available. Allen, Banks, Franklin, Minter and Te'o all would contribute immediately, if selected, and have a lot of value in that draft slot.

Picking Hankins, however, brings up an interesting situation: what do you do with Ziggy Hood, especially now since Stevie Mac has re-upped? If you select Hankins, do you try and get as high a draft pick as you can to ship Hood off to another team? Remember, Hood is in the final year of his contract so that will also be a factor.

Really, the Steelers should be looking at all their options to amass picks later in the draft. Realistically, I don't see them getting much higher than a 5th for Ziggy, though I'd be pleasantly surprised if they could get higher. But considering who we have on the DLine already, wouldn't it be proactive to get something for Hood and put another pick in our pocket to use for DLine depth on the third day?

[phillyesq]

A lot of great options here. I went with Franklin, hoping to add a playmaker to the running game. But I'd be fine with Minter, Allen, maybe Hankins - plenty of interesting options here.

I think in reality from your list most of them will be off the board at pick number 48. So I say...

Sio Moore LB

In reality, most of them probably will be gone, but in our mock, they all happen to be here (and I don't think that we've had many picks that are completely out of left field...it's quite possible that the quite a few of those guys listed above could fall out of the top 47 next week). I know that I would love Allen at 48. I would love Minter at 48. I would love Te'o at 48. I would love Reid at 48. If all of those guys happened to be available, what would be your preference?

By the way, this is assuming that we took Jarvis Jones in round 1 in our board mock...so why would you take another OLB in round 2?

[Chucktownsteeler]

I went Minter. A tackling machine.

[Shoe]

I would go with one of the RBs, depending on whether I thought I could get Franklin in the 3rd. If I do, I will go someone else (e.g. Te'o). If I don't think Franklin would be available down there, then I take Giovanni Bernard, who may be a bit better than Franklin.

With Fitz and a 1st Rder last year. I see no way the cards go for hunter in the 2nd

Nice pick, Cowah!

If I ran the Cards, I may have doubled down on o-linemen, since their o-line has been awful for a looong time, instead of going QB-WR. I would have taken Lane Johnson in the first and then maybe Larry Worford in the second. Or they could have done the opposite and taken Chance Warmack in the first and Menelik Watson in the second. They also could have considered a pass rusher like Ansah or Mingo in round 1 (or an Okafor/Montgomery type in round 2).

[raycafan]

I picked Reid I think its time to start grooming a young safety.
