Steelers 2015 Draft possibilites

Yeah, I think the myth of SEC dominance and Big 10 suckage was put to rest...

Thanks, I appreciate you saying that. It was a great game…I think the Buckeyes even shocked OSU fans. Living down in SEC country, I heard the Big Ten is soft and slow talk all season at work. Man, did the Big Ten show up in the Bowls.

Have some SEC teams play "up north" in November and December and I think their offenses sputter somewhat and they add a few losses.

The SEC is 6-5 so far, the "lesser" teams have done well, while the top teams have stumbled, save for Georgia and Missouri. Top to bottom they are still very good, but the top teams aren't as good as the pundits and SEC fans would like you to believe.

Florida still has a game to play against East Carolina, so the SEC could be 6-6 or 7-5.

The #Steelers will draft 21st overall in the NFL Draft if the #Bengals win tomorrow and 22nd if Cincy loses

I would like to see the Steelers draft higher...but hate rooting for the Bengals, for any reason.

And there is that we are 22nd in the draft. Start your mock drafts!

Last time the Steelers picked at 22 was 30 yrs ago, journeyman Ron Johnson.

it was in 1978, and the Steelers won the next two Super Bowls after drafting Ron Johnson so it was obviously a great pick!

[RuthlessBurgher]

We'll be the 22nd pick in rounds 1, 4, and 7.

We'll be the 23rd pick in rounds 3 and 6.

We'll be the 24th pick in rounds 2 and 5.

So many criticisms today after Stanford LT Andrus Peat declared for draft, I'm thinking he could fall to Steelers. Another podium sprint?

Drafting Peat is no indictment of Beachum off bad game.

That would be awesome!

Ron Johnson and Chad Scott as two of our more recent 1st Round Cornerback picks. That should be enough to scare us away from CB in Round 1! Good thing we sandwiched Woodson in there.

Chad Scott had amazing size and speed but tore up his knee. We never got to see how good he could have been yet he was able to start despite not being half the athlete he was before the injury

For #Steelers fans, I watched several games last night and have my CB preference for pick 22: Alex Carter, then PJ Williams, Trae Waynes.

If they take another position 1st, I might take Ifo Ekpre-Olomu in the 2nd. I forgot how good he was, stood out vs Mich St.

I really like IEO but at best he gets put on the IR/To Return list and you see him about Week 10-12. Far more likely he gets a redshirt season. Therefore no help to our secondary in 2015. I don't see the Steelers investing an early pick on a player they know won't play. However, he is a defensive player so if Lebeau remains coach it is likely he wouldn't play until at least week 10 anyway...so who knows it could happen.
