First off I wanna touch on the QB question. Jalen Hurts is the only QB I would want at 2/49. I have watched every snap he took last year and he is an incredibly improved product over his Alabama days. He is tough, athletic, accurate and a winner. He would immediately be a sub package player and could take 5-10 snaps a game of wear and tear off BB. He will be a better Taysom Hill than Taysom Hill. However, I don't see him getting to us at 2/49 nor do I feel the Steelers want to draft a QB early this year.
Secondly. I feel we need more picks. We have too many needs to fill with this few picks. This is a very deep draft at a few positions. I do feel we will make a move of some sort to pick up extra picks.
Below are TWO mocks. The first based on the picks we currently own. The second would be based on a rumor from a long time scout friend that told me the Patriots are willing to trade all 3 thirds and a fifth for a 2nd. This would be a dream for the Steelers as the third round is loaded with talent. Here we go!!
2/49-Clyde Edwards Helaire or Cam Akers. One of these guys will be there and either would be a substantial upgrade to JC
3/102-Davon Hamilton-DT-OSU-Almost an identical player to Jason Hargrave. Probably further along at this stage due to competition.
4/124-John Simpson-OG-Clemson-Ramon Foster 2.0. Punishing run blocker on a big time program
4/135-Brandon Jones-S-Texas- incredibly smart and a great tackler. Would allow Edmunds to move to the Mark Barron role
6/198-Marquez Calloway-WR-Tennessee- Martavis Bryant without the stupidity
7/232-Kevin Davidson-QB-Princeton- Smart and accurate. Would be 3rd string QB on opening day.
Trade Down scenario with Pats
3/87-Van Jefferson-WR-Florida-Smart, incredible hands, great routes and fast, coaches kid with NFL bloodlines
3/98-Bradlae Annae-Edge-Utah-immediate rotational pass rusher, violent dude with power and hands, poor mans Lamar Woodley
3/100-Davon Hamilton-DT-OSU-see above
3/102-Jonah Jackson-OG-OSU-tons of experience, nice feet and position versatility, could push Wisniewski as a rookie
4/124-AJ Dillon-RB-BC- I don't love Dillon but he brings a load to the position. A faster Benny Snell.
4/135-Shaun Bradley-ILB-Temple-tough instinctive football player and a good athlete. Temple's best defensive player.
5/172-Tanner Muse-ILB-Clemson- immediate special teams star. Can compete with Bradley, Gilbert and VW for snaps right away. FOOTBALL PLAYER!!!!!
6/198-Parnell Motley-DB-OU- as mentally tough a player as you will find. Big 12 QB's threw at him all day everyday and he made plays time after time. Had his best year in 2019.
7/232-Kevin Davidson-QB-Princeton-see above.
I would love for us to get that deal done with the Pats but it wouldn't happen till we are on the clock. Either way I think we need to get an extra pick or two in this draft. Here We Go Steelers Here We Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
