    Will Fuller
    Austin Johnson
    TJ Green
    Darian Thompson


    Chances are good that at least one of them will be there when the Steelers pick in round 2.
    Jonathan Allen and Tre'Davious White will both be playing in the SEC next season, not the NFL. Neither guy declared as early entrants for the 2016 Draft. Maybe next year.
    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.

        OK. Not quite. He was on many experts draft boards going late in the FIRST round. Hardly a massive reach.

        The upside is massive. He is a projected talent. Risk and reward. Boom or bust. More boom than bust imo. But he won't be there this year for the Steelers. That's fair enough. He's a junior entry. So, that is often the case.

        Lets not forget he was a major two star athlete in track. That means his time was very divided. He got zero spring ball his whole life pretty much. He basically gets his football training during football season. Imagine how much guys grow from junior to senior to the first year of Pro to the second. Now take it all away, that's him in comparison. He will now focus on football and if he is the athlete they say, he will grow by all four of those in the next two years. He will be four times the player he is now just by taking away track and getting him coached up and football focussed 24/7/365. If his ceiling is as high as some experts think (some think he will be the best CB from the draft) - then the Steelers fell into another Tuitt type situation. (injury stalled development instead of track).

        This could be a steal for the Steelers. Fingers crossed.

            I read that Jack recently referred to his knee as a "time bomb"...oops...
            Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

                What were the odds going into this draft that Jaylon Smith would have been taken before Myles Jack?!? A billion to one? Wow...

                  Jacksonville just traded up with the Ravens. I think they spent so much time and consideration into Jack as their potential pick at #5 overall that they have to be going for Myles here.

                    I was thinking the same, most had him in the 4th, does that me another player drops to us in 2nd or 3rd.

                      Jacksonville had a solid offense last year with Bortles, Robinson, Hurns, Yeldon, etc. and now on defense they add Dante Fowler, Jalen Ramsey, and Myles Jack on defense. Wow... They are favorites to win the AFC South today.

                        Ravens moving down again like the Brownies. This time with Miami. Gotta think the Fins are targeting RB Derrick Henry.

                          With Shepperd gone hoping for either the DT Hargraves, OLB Jenkins or S TJ Green will be there for us...
                          It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust & sweat & blood...

                              Mike Tomlin is about to be interviewed on NFL Network about our draft so far coming back from this commercial break.
