Lolley: My ideal Steelers draft

[K Train]

I think it was Shawn who posted a bunch of links of player breakdowns. I only watched one for Harold, and he was going against one of the top tier tackles in that game - I forget which. The entire length of the video he did not even get a sniff of the QB. He was eaten up completely. Granted, that is the extent of my Eli Harold experience, but after watching that I have not wanted to go anywhere near the guy.

Ehhh, Harold is pretty good. He would be unexciting in that he starts off the set of second tier pass rushers. Hes a better prospect than Worilds was imo (worth noting my disdain for Worilds from the start though)

The fact that Wexell provides odds for a dozen potential picks shows that this is not one of those years when even the most ardent Steeler fans have a reasonable sense going into the draft on Thursday night on who the pick might be...even beyond those suggestions, what if Trae Waynes falls within range of a reasonable trade-up? What if their preferred pass rushers and defensive backs are off the board, but one of the top tier wideouts that they have shown interest in falls? What if they prefer CB/FS Quinten Rollins to CB/FS Eric Rowe and CB/FS Byron Jones? What if they just say "screw it" and take Maxx Williams? This really can go anywhere...

I plan on being heavily intoxicated....when they pick it will decide whether im a happy drunk or a sad drunk

I'll be chaperoning my son's middle school field trip to Washington D.C. during day 1 and day 2 of the draft. The first round pick on Thursday night will determine whether the kids I'm responsible for get to stay up longer and have fun at the hotel, or if it is lights out for everyone.

so according to Wexell, odds are one of the following two 1st round scenarios unfolds:

OLB - Eli Harold, Shane Ray, Randy Grgory or

CB - Marcus Peters, Eric Rowe, Kevin Johnson, Jalen Collins, Byron Jones

The worst thing is the drop off from Ray and Gregory to Harold and the drop off from Peters and Johnson to Collins and Rowe, then the additional dropoff to Jones lol

I think Collins or Rowe will be the second round pick

The only one I'm happy with would be Johnson. Someone mentioned Joe Haden; I don't think that is out of the realm with Johnson. He may not achieve that height (i.e. top 5 CB), but that type of player. Ike was never top 5 (not even top 10), but in terms of impact, Ike would certainly have been a boom if he was a 1st rounder.

Chad Jensen @ChadNJensen -

Dave-Te Thomas' best CB in this draft?
"Marcus Peters-next Charles Woodson.
My favorite-Eric Rowe-hits like Rodney Harrison." #NFLDraft
