Will be so interesting to see were the pink/red flags go. Seems more medical issues on top players and the late info of diluted test and rape accusations. Alone with guys with past troubles in there life. Really interested to see where Cook, Mixon, T. Willams, Peppers, Conley, Jones, Foster, Tak, Lawson,etc. That seems like a high number of top ranked players with pink/red flags.

Make you want to jump from a bridge? The pick that would make you jump for joy?
Jump from Bridge-DeShone Kizer
This name has now been linked to the Steelers in mocks and rumors.
No way the Steelers crap the bed that big...has to be smoke and mirrors.
Kizer couldn't even stay a starter at the college level. Inconsistent, erratic accuracy and decision making. He is a 4th round talent.
Jump for Joy-Pat Mahomes II or Corey Davis
Pat Mahomes II-now being compared to Aaron Rodgers, this kid is going to be special. I'll be jumping around my living room if we draft Pat.
Corey Davis-IMO best WR in the draft. He is even better than Ross who I really like as well. Davis short area quickness looks just like Antonio Brown. I would be stoked if we drafted him.
Reality check-if we do draft an edge rusher it will be Willis in the first. He won't make it to us in the second and he is light years better than Harris. Takk will be long gone.
IMO the best WR in the draft is Zay Jones. I can honestly tell you that he probably has the best character and pedigree of all of them- knowing his dad.6- Time Super Bowl Champions......

Jump from a bridge...Any of the red flag guys, QB
Jump for joy...McKinley (barely realistic), Reddick, Lattimore, Hooker (even less realistic)
Expected that I'd be fine with...Harris, Awuzie, Adoree' Jackson, Watt
Recent name that could be interesting...Jordan Willis - Everyone talks about how great a pick he'd be in the second, but wouldn't a great second rounder still be a solid selection in the first? Think Tuitt - first, second, I don't care, just glad he's a Steeler.
The only reason I put this here is because Mayock, who only does one mock per year, just mocked him to Pittsburgh in the first.Comment

It is certainly interesting that top draft insider Mike Mayock took edge rusher Jordan Willis for the Steelers at #30 with corners like Chidobe Awuzie and Kevin King still available, safeties like Jabrill Peppers and Obi Melifonwu still available, inside backers Zach Cunningham and Jarrad Davis still available, and offensive wildcards like Pat Mahomes and David Njoku still available.Jump from a bridge...Any of the red flag guys, QB

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.Comment

I don't think Foster gets past the Bengals. I have a feeling we are going to be dealing with him for years to come..
Foster could drop because of his dilute sample and getting thrown out of the Combine due to his impatience with the Indy medical staff.
Takk could drop because there are several other first round edge rush prospects without a shoulder issue.
When Sidney Jones blew out his Achilles, it appeared that Humphrey would be the consensus #2 CB in the draft behind Lattimore. But since then, numerous other corners have been rising such as Kevin King, Chidobe Awuzie, Tre'Davious White, and Adoree Jackson have been rising up draft boards, possibly ahead of a guy whose strength is zone coverage with strong run support in front of him and struggles to make plays on deep passes behind him. I've seen a few mocks with Humphrey falling out of the first entirely, but with the Gareon Conley situation, Humphrey's stock will likely get a late de facto boost.Trolls are people too.Comment

I just seen that. I had a gut Willis would rise late and Harris would slip. Willis is by far the superior edge guy.It is certainly interesting that top draft insider Mike Mayock took edge rusher Jordan Willis for the Steelers at #30 with corners like Chidobe Awuzie and Kevin King still available, safeties like Jabrill Peppers and Obi Melifonwu still available, inside backers Zach Cunningham and Jarrad Davis still available, and offensive wildcards like Pat Mahomes and David Njoku still available.Trolls are people too.Comment

Don't get me that excited Ruth.....Jump from bridge: Tim Williams. Sure, we need pass rush and this guy could be a beast in that regard, but he is also a one-dimensional situational player who could not start on the college level, needed scheme simplified for him, and had off-field issues with both drugs and guns as well.
Jump for joy: If Malik Hooker falls to the middle of round 1 and we trade up for him like we did with Polamalu once upon a time.Comment

I respect Merril Hoge's opinion a lot (on QBs) and he doesn't like any of these guys in the first. With Mahommes, people want to see Brett Favre. However, there are many more examples of disappointments. Even if Mahommes got to Jay Cutler-level, I call that a disappointment. Not because Cutler isn't a 10-year NFL starter, but because of what he did not do for his teams.
Jump for joy? Since a guy like Malik Hooker is off the board (I'm typing this at #16), I guess if OJ Howard somehow fell to 30?I wasn't hired for my disposition.Comment
