For the "draft to win now"

[steelerkeylargo]

I think Wormley was signed to be the starter, not McCullers.

Wormley is not a DT. Has never played the position. Not happening

Easy - if you are drafting to win now, you draft other team's established players

#1 would be to trade for better ILB than Vince Williams
#2 would be to trade for offensive line help - starting OG or reliable depth swing guys would be most likely
#3 would be to include Edmunds in a trade for a better safety

I feel like those are really the only weaknesses that need to be addressed in win now mode

Sorry but, what are you talking about... 2 different postions, and we already have starters in Heyward and Tuit.

But I agree, Mcullers needs to go...

D Rock....

I agree with #1, but the rest mix feelings...

#2 The offense line is set, no need to trade or draft an OL early unless big time value. The swing guy is dead! There is no use to have one player to fill in 2 positions, versatility is nice, but really lost its worth in position value. A back up true center or guard is just as valuable as a guard who can play center. The new CBA rule makes it manditory to dress like 9 OL. so you can dress a starting 5, and a combo of 4 payers as reserves.
#3 Edmunds is average or better he is still young... just look at bud. However it would be nice to have someone to push him can not keep him content. ( now you got me thinking I messed up on my mock, should of added a safety earlier! oh well let's just hope they do draft one!)

So you think the OL is set? Interesting.

Let's say that Colbert feels the way you do about the OL; then I think they pull the trigger on Akers (if he's there) ,ILB or Edge guy. They will come back later in the draft to add an OL player.

I think we are okay this year with the OL... but could potentially fall off a cliff if we dont pick up a few solid prospects in the draft (and UDFAs)...and Okafor ends up being a flop. Wisniewski, Pouncey, Decastro, and AV are all on the back end

Oka will be fine, the 2 games he started he went against Von Miller and against a stout Rams DL and did not disappoint, actually looked good.
worst case scenrios possible:
Banner plays RT... the unknown
Wiesnewski plays C or G...played decent last year for KC ( worries me some- SF D was all over Mahomes, but that is one helll of a defense)
Feiler goes back to RT...
OKA plays LT... he might even be more nibble on feet than AV.
