Steelers will draft 15th in round 1.

[Iron City Inc.]

Well there it is pick 15. Between now and May mock drafts will be a plenty. With a bunch of qb's going early a stud or two should be there for us. Since we are as Roy Blount jr. once wrote "three bricks shy of a load" I can't wait to get a few of those special players and make a run at it in 14.

I'm afraid this team is going to have a strange offseason. I think last years draft can be special if they all reach their potential but this team needs depth and a youth movement especially on Defense. Here's hoping to a stud dropping to us at #15.
This year's WR group looks very deep

if the WR class is deep hopfully we can get one in the mid rounds that can contribute. Right now (looking at immediate need) I am think CB, Safety, or NT if a stud is available.

Defense, defense, and more defense, the offense is coming together, the defense needs help and for Worilds to sign and Jarvis to take a leap forward.

15th huh ? Well, then we stand fast at 15 and step on our d#cks with a bum 0-lineman or a "WTF are you thinking ?" project player that Tomlin falls in love with. Awesome.lol smh

agreed. Let's do what we can to keep this O-Line together (including Velasco, Levi Brown)...let loose of some of the old money (by cuts/paycuts, etc) and re-tool the defense in the draft.

[pittpete]

Levi Brown??????
Not for $6 million

[Ernie]

I don't know his situation... do we have to pay him that as part of the trade with AZ? Wasn't sure if his contract was negotiable for next year.

Don't know about bum O-linemen .. other than the tackle from Alabama whose name I am too inebriated to spell ... however, most of the "instant" mocks have both your #1 guys available to us at 15 ... will they qualify as "project" players "that Tomlin falls in love with" if we pick them? Or, are you just a Negative Nancy who doesn't like anything done during the Tomlin era?

[birtikidis]

I think Nix could fall to 15. I've got 15 guys I'd take at 15, so I'm ok with that spot. Woulda preferred 32 though.

I would love to see Ha Ha fall to us at 15 ... would not be upset with Evans ... am not too impressed with Nix, but wouldn't be upset with the pick at 15 ... the problem with most of us fans is that we look at the draft and think that EVERY pick HAS to be a STAR ... that would mean that in a five year period, you've picked 5 All-Pros ... doesn't happen that way. Sorry, but the guy who is a solid contributor on an exceptional Defense/Offense is valuable too ... You want STARS obviously ... but you're not going to get them with every pick

That is an excellent observation, IMO. I was thinking about that a bit earlier today.

Hahaha,...SB,.... as an individual and human being i dig Mike Tomlin. Seems like a stand up guy and probably someone anyone would be fortunate to have as a friend, family member or business associate. However if you allow him to have anything to do with your draft process from a corporate standpoint,.....you are in a world of hurt. And that is not just merely my opinion,...he has had years to prove as much.

With that said, it is my opinion that because Evans and Nix will perform well in offseason workouts and at the combine,....they will both more than likely be off of the board before our pick rolls around at 15.

But hey,..there is always Dix, Lewan or some cornerback whom can barely speak English or will make little to no difference for years to come to be had ! lol

Not to cut off your whole quote ... but, if the pick is Lewan, I'm puking and pulling out my hair ... immediately ... I watched the kid mail it in this year and get dominated by Bosa and Spence from OSU (a freshman and sophomore respectively) .. Don't have a problem with Ha Ha ... the top flight CB's will be gone by pick 15 ... in other words, you (and possibly I) had better pray that your guys "FALL" for some reason ... otherwise, neither you nor I will be happy. Personally between the two of your first round guys, I'd rather see Evans in the B&G.

[Sugar]

I personally don't want any OL in the first round. Not unless the best LT somehow falls to 15 and even then I'm not so sure about it.
