    Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

    Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

    We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

    We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

          Agree with Evans being the Steelers top target and Dennard being a quality consolation prize, but disagree about Benjamin, even after a trade down. Benjamin has the measurables you look for, but something intangible just seems to be missing in my mind. I foresee disappointment with him like with Mike Williams (the one drafted by Detroit, not Tampa) or Dwayne Jarrett. I'd rather another smurf receiver than Benjamin.

            Yes it is. And Colbert & Tomlin like LOS guys early. Taylor Lewan.

              I take it Casserly is a little more reserved than his colleague Prisco. Prisco can't wait to publicly discuss "dirt" -- even if there really may not be any there.

I eliminated the ones who shouldn't be there...But you never know. Top 10 Wish List....Prediction of Steelers Board. If the Steelers have to select at #15...Than the first player still on the board going down the list. BTW..I believe the 1st Round Safeties are "smoke".

                1. Evans
                2. Gilbert
                3. Fuller
                4. Dennard

                * Trade Down

                5. Mosley
                6. Ebron
                7. Barr
                8. Beckham
                9. Shazier
                10. Hageman



                Ok...I updated. Final Board rundown.

                Off Board: (No Order) 1.Mack 2.Clowney 3.Robinson 4.Watkins 5.Matthews 6.Lewan 7.Donald
                May be off Board: (No Order) 8.Bortles 9. Manziel 10.Martin 11.Clinton-Dix


                Draft Strategy:
                A. Evans
                B. Gilbert
                C. Fuller
                D. Dennard

                * Trade Down

                E. Mosley
                F. Ebron
                G. Barr
                H. Shazier
                I. Beckham
                J. Benjamin


                My Top 20 grades on Steelers Board:
                1.Mack
                2.Clowney
                3.Robinson
                4.Watkins
                5.Matthews
                6.Evans
                7.Lewan
                8.Mosley
                9.Donald
                10.Gilbert
                11.Ebron
                12.Barr
                13.Fuller
                14.Dennard
                15.Shazier
                16.Beckham
                17.Benjamin
                18.Cooks
                19.Roby
                20.Clinton-Dix

                From 8-20...The grades are close enough where Need Trumps Grade. Meaning, they value the position "wish" higher if it comes down to it. When you look at that list...If you eliminate Donald because they don't see him as a fit...There could be the "19" players Colbert talked about. Personally, I don't see how you ignore fit with Donald. I would eliminate Clinton-Dix because of current roster & leave Donald on there. Maybe it is time for DL to set another trend. Perhaps Donald could be the Hybrid DL...Evolve. Just can't speculate on that. So based on scheme & history..I can only assume Donald isn't a fit.

                I think one of Gilbert, Fuller, or Dennard will be a Steeler. I don't see many scenarios all 3 going before #15. I see the grades close enough where you don't pass on any of them. I guess the question is do the Steelers think they could trade back...Maybe with the Eagles...And still get one? That may be the question in the room when they are on the clock. 34 hours from now...We may have that answer.

                    First...SF drafts 30, not 29. Second, no way does pick 56 alone get you from 30 to 15, SF pick in round 3 would be a MUST. And lastly...no way Fuller drops anywhere close to 30. Thanks. Have a nice day.

                        First 29 or 30 whatever. Second the draft chart is antiquated and with this draft being so deep you can throw it out the window, however we can probably snag an extra 4. Third.... he may not.....but no one though DeCastro would make it to us either. Thanks for your opinion though

                              I like it too! If not, Fuller would be nice.

                                Even if Bill Belichick was getting an atomic wedgie, his face would look exactly the same.
