Dulac: Steelers want to draft Texas A&M WR Mike Evans

[Shawn]

I'm warming to the idea of Evans. If we trade back, I would be warm to the idea of Benjamin.

I would be ok with 1) Evans 2) Fuller 3) Borland

[Oviedo]

Pryor is so much better than Haha.

Id rather go WR in 1 and get Reynolds in 2

I agree. I like Pryor more than HH too.

I would also go TE/WR in Round 1 and make Safety my priority for Round 2.

I think the steelers are going to covet Watkins and Evans come draft day, could definitely be a trade up

They have too many holes to give up draft picks. They can wait at #15 and still get a quality WR or pass catching TE.

I think they are both comparable with Pryor bringing a bit more intimidation to the table. Not sure you can go wrong with either. But, if Dennard is on the board...they don't take a center fielder over a shut down cover corner.

Very opposed to a trade up. If they ARE looking at a pass catcher with bigger measureables, there is a very good chance that one of Watkins, Evans, Benjamin or Ebron will be there at #15.

With at least 5 teams having the need of a QB, that takes up 3 selections in front of us. 2/3 top offensive tackles will be gone before we select. Clowney is gone. You gotta figure Mack and Barr being gone by our selection. Maybe even Mosley, but definitely count on the first two being gone. Justin Gilbert won't last. Not with what he is doing at the combine this morning.

At the worst we would be selecting from the likes of Mosley, Lewan, Lee, Dennard or our pick of safeties.

But i feel good about there being a player who can step in and help the team in some fashion without giving up picks that we can't afford to give up.

I am, however, quite open to trading back a handful of spots. But not out of the top 20. Picking up an additional 3rd rounder, assuming we get a 3rd round comp for Wallace, and another late round pick would be real nice.

Sure, why would we want a potentially dominant WR to pair with AB when we can get a 2-down Nose Tackle.

Because the offense isn't the problem right now, IMO. Not to mention then we have two #1 WRs on the roster (or, at least potentially and won't be able to pay them). Ben is going to get the ball to whoever is on the field. If there's a big WR at 2.46, then grab him, but 1.15 should be used to continue rebuilding the defense. The defense in its current state is sub-par and they need to continue rebuilding on the defensive side of the ball.

I don't want a NT at 1.15 (but, wouldn't be totally against it if they believe he can be Casey-like), however, a DE (Hageman), ILB (Moseley), CB (Gilbert)or FS (not sure there is 1.15 value here, but maybe Dix) would be good by me. And, any of these players have a chance to get on the field year one, because what is in front of them isn't spectacular or even good, IMO.

Sounds like there is going to be plenty of value and talent in the second round for a WR. I wouldn't like drafting a WR at 1.15, but I wouldn't lose sleep over it either.

This is where I am Pap... although I really wouldn't mind a NT, lol.

The last thing we need is a WR... I won't be mad if we get Watkins or Evans but people are talking like we are truly hurting at WR and lack production.

[Slapstick]

If Evans is the best player on the board at #15, draft him. Period.

Don't reach for need. We will regret that later...

Mike Evans, WR, Texas A&M

Mike Evans didn't have one of the faster official 40s (4.53), but that time was pretty impressive considering his large frame (6-5, 231 with 35 1/8-inch arms). Evans also thrived in the field drills, making some solid catches. Vincent Jackson comparisons were thrown around. It'll be a huge surprise if Evans makes it past the Steelers at No. 15. The Lions could easily take him with the 10th-overall selection.

The Lions have done this before having two 1st round guys (Roy and Mike Williams) on their roster and the offense was still not that good. Receivers aren't the key to a good offense even in the pass happy NFL.

How has that worked out for them over the years?
