Second and Third round wishlist

[SteelBucks]

As I said in the draft chat a few times, I'd love to get ILB Arthur Brown.

[Shawn]

1. I'll be rooting for guys like Keenan Allen, Zach Ertz, and Kevin Minter to fall.

Solid names. I would like Ertz as I feel he is the best TE in this draft.

[calmkiller]

Here is who we brought in for visits that are 2nd and 3rd round graded players:

3	Eddie Lacey	RB	Alabama	5-11 231	4/13/13	1-2
4	Khaseem Greene	OLB	Rutgers	6-1 241	4/2/13	2
5	John Simon	OLB	Ohio State	6-2 257	4/1/13	2-3
6	Jamie Collins	OLB	Southern Miss	6-4 250	4/2/13	2-3
7	Phillip Thomas	FS	Fresno State	6-1 208	4/2/13	2-3
8	Johnathan Franklin	RB	UCLA	5-10 205	4/4/13	2-3
9	Shamarko Thomas	SS	Syracuse	5-9 213	4/8/13	2-3
10	Sio Moore	OLB	Uconn	6-1 245	4/11/13	2-3
11	Malliciah Goodman	OLB	Clemson	6-4 276	4/3/13	3
12	Blidi Wreh-Wilson	CB	Uconn	6-1 195	4/9/13	3
13	B.W. Webb	CB	W&M	5-10 184	4/9/13	3-4
14	Christine Michael	RB	Texas A&M	5-10 220	4/1/13	3-4

I'd also love Stedman Bailey in the 3rd.

[Oviedo]

Offense. Offense. And more offense.

[phillyesq]

I would generally lean towards the offense, with Keenan Allen probably my #1 choice. Depending on how things fall, if Arthur Brown or Minter were available, they would be awfully tempting. Regardless, I think the Steelers are poised to get a good player in round 2.

[Ghost]

I did a quick perusal of revised mock drafts from around the web (instead of working as I should be doing... It's like Christmas in April). Here are the guys I saw listed:

Johnthan Banks - CB, Miss St, Kevin Minter - ILB, LSU, Eddie Lacy - RB, Bama were the three guys I saw on more than one draft.
Robert Woods - WR, USC
Giovani Bernard - RB, UNC (also saw him in Rd 3)

[pfelix73]

Round two--

Keenan Allen WR
Jesse Williams NT
Sio Moore LB
Margus Hunt DE
Manti Te'o LB
Kevin Minter LB
Zach Ertz TE
Matt Barkley QB
Robert Woods WR
Jonathan Banks CB
Terrence Williams WR
Jonathan Hankins DT
Jonathan Cyprian FS
Eddie Lacy RB

Round three---

Le'Veon Bell RB
Vance McDonald TE
Bacarri Rambo FS
Gavin Escobar TE
Jonathan Franklin RB


I'd take any of those guys.

Wow, if Jesse Williams IS there when we pick.........

[steelz09]

I think we will be happy with our 2nd rounder. Well, maybe not all of us.

You have Keenan Allen, Lacy, Arthur Brown, Robert Woods, Minter, DJ Swearinger, Philip Thomas, Teo, etc.

I like Minter, Swearinger, Allen, Woods, and Lacy as a 2nd rounder. I'm sure one of those will be available.

[papillon]

Keenan Allen or Arthur Brown would be fantastic, IMO. Could 16 other teams allow either one of those two players to fall to us? There are a lot of good players left in the draft, so I hope the Steelers don't trade up and give away picks to get one of those guys, unless it one of them is there with 2 or 3 picks to go, then I'd advocate moving up 2 or 3 spots to get the player they want.

With the way this draft has gone and some stunners in round 1 (someone took a center that was graded as 3rd round selection) some good football players are going to drop into round three as well.

[SteelerOfDeVille]

Round two--
Keenan Allen WR
Jesse Williams NT
Sio Moore LB
Margus Hunt DE
Manti Te'o LB
Kevin Minter LB
Zach Ertz TE
Matt Barkley QB
Robert Woods WR
Jonathan Banks CB
Terrence Williams WR
Jonathan Hankins DT
Jonathan Cyprian FS
Eddie Lacy RB
Round three---
Le'Veon Bell RB
Vance McDonald TE
Bacarri Rambo FS
Gavin Escobar TE
Jonathan Franklin RB

I'd take any of those guys.

Solid list, I agree with most. I'm afraid the 2nd round is going to *sting* as names start popping off the board, but, there should still be some good talent...

So, Stepping back, I'd say the choices are ILB, NT, WR, S, CB and TE with priority in that order. I would be glad with BPA at any of those positions. With that, my choices are:

ILB: Manti Teo, Kevin Minter, Sio Moore (3rd), Kasheem Greene (3rd)
NT: Jesse Williams, Jonathan Hankins, John Jenkins
WR: Justin Hunter, Keenan Allen, Robert Woods, Terrence Williams, Aaron Dobson
S: Jonathan Cyprien, DJ Swearinger, Shamarko Thomas(3), Philip Thomas (3)
CB: Jonathan Banks, Jamar Taylor, Blidi Wreh-Wilson
TE: Zach Ertz, Gavin Escobar (3), Travis Kelce (3)

My money's on Minter or Te'o.

Every year, I make a Steelers draft board.

You don't have RB as a possibility? Are you that confident in redman/Dwyer ??


How many other teams would either of those guys start for??

[Mick'sTeam]

Shamarko Thomas in the 3rd please.

[Sugar]

I was hoping for Offense in the first three rounds even though I knew it wasn't likely. We still don't have a real #1 WR or #1 RB and the #1 TE will be out half the year. This, from a unit that was mediocre last year even with better players on the roster than what we have going in to the season now. If you're going to build through the draft than let's please do that.
