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. -
Mike Evans...
But they will draft Dennard and if he is not avalable trade down and draft kelvin benjaminSteelers Draft 2015

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

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.Last edited by BradshawsHairdresser; 05-07-2014, 10:09 AM.Comment

If the Steelers stay true to their board & draft BPA if their guy is gone...I believe the list below signifies the grades of the players that May be available. 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.Comment

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
