    DL was great when he could get you into 2nd and long or 3rd and long. Last few seasons, we've struggled to stop people's run games - which is why i'd called for NT and ILB repeatedly for about 5 years...

      much too early to know... the eagles WR (I forget his name, Jerry rice's cousin or something) went from 3rd rounder, to too high for us to get in the first, back down to almost being there in the 2nd...

      Better still, Teddy Bridgewater went from #1 overall to virtually a second rounder... (last pick day 1 due to trade up)...

        Hmm.., always seemed like 3rd and long was our weakness.

          Jarvis Jones was considered a top ten pick in January.

            I'd also like to see some variety...the odd corner or safety blitz off the edge.

              No way in hell DeCastro falls down to #24...
              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.

                    Or Mendenhall in the first that year. The whole world had Carolina taking him at 13. Instead they took Jonathan Stewart (who many thought would go to the Steelers). What hurts more? The fact that CJ2K was the pick right after Mendenhall, or that LT Duane Brown went three picks after the Steeler pick, in a draft where they needed a tackle? Instead the Steelers took Tony Hills in the fourth.

                      Well they were probably going to take Mike Jenkins, who blows ass.

                      Couldnt imagine the bust talks had they taken Duane brown, who was a huge reach, and even in his 3rd year he was a part time player for the texans

                        With 20-20 hindsight, we probably should have taken Matt Forte that year, who has a similar skill set to Le'Veon Bell in terms of being a well rounded RB who can run, catch, block, etc.

                          Although I don't think forte holds a candle. The 20/20 game can go a million ways.
