    My pick for the Steelers first round.

    Some may say Shawn you are reaching. But, no. Devonte Wyatt is absolutely nasty. He is 304 pounds at 6 foot 2 and ran a 4.77 which matches what I was watching. Explosive, powerful, disruptive, played for Ga from the 0 through the 5. He is versatile playing anywhere on the DL yes including the nose for those opining for the need for a NT. We have an aging DL, he instantly plays in the rotation, tremendous in the run stop, disruptive in the pocket. Please Steelers for the love of all that's good grab this guy and not one of these sad prospects at QB.
    Trolls are people too.

    The need at ILB is just as red alert as well because of all the question marks. But I like Wyatt as well. When do we start our official two round draft prediction thread?

        Wyatt quickness to me is what sets him apart. He is first one moving when ball is snapped. That is a special trait.
        However I believe you have the right team but imho knowing Tomlin a different teammate is more likely to be our #1. Davis ? No he'll be gone. Walker ? No gone too.
        Lewis Cine SS exactly what MT likes phisical box safety who can cover. Chess piece with position flexibility. Tested over the moon and play recognition is very good. Also fills one of our needs. Three down player who can contribute on special teams and likely start early. A rookie who could step in and help our run D which was way to soft in 21. Safety in the 1st not popular but if it's the right player and I believe this guy is I'm good with it.

          Don't know anything about Cline, but if we drafted him in Round 1 there would no doubt be 4 years of b!tching and moaning because he is not a "name" mentioned by media

          Personally, as much as I've advocated for def Line, I wouldn't be shocked with a WR

            I'm still holding out hope for his teammate Jordan Davis, even though it appears as more and more of a pipe dream. I like Wyatt though, if Davis is gone. If both of those guys are off the board, then hopefully Penning is still there at OT. I see the potential for them to go WR but I want to see the trenches addressed early.

              I really like Cine. But, I have graded him as a mid second. He does many things well. I drool over his physicality. Anyone who knows me knows I love me some physical secondary. It's not a bad pick that's for sure but watch him a bit closer. Watch his hips and his transitions into routes. Watch his ability to mirror. If he landed to us in the second I would be running to my TV and losing my mind. But, in my humble opinion he isn't a first round talent. When I think of first round, I think of a guy who explodes off the ball. A DLman on an aging DL who has that kind of quick twitch is rare. His ability to push the pocket and make QBs feel uncomfortable less rare but it's spectacular. Him being able to play all positions on the DL? That's a Steeler pick. He is the guy who is overshadowed by sexier teammates. But, I think Wyatt has the best NFL career.

                But why? I mean I kind of get it. He's a physical specimen. But, is he a 3 down DLman? If not move on. He wasn't for GA why would he be for us? I have him as a late second and I wouldn't touch him. Why? Because, in modern day NFL you need guys you can stay on the field. You need guys who can play up and down the line. Don't get me wrong I understand why you love him. Davis is a freak. But he also can't play a full series. The day of Casey Hampton are done and we need to adapt to the times.

                  Currently he is #1 in my mock.
                  Help me find my post proving I am a Yinzer!

                  I will tip my hat to Tomlin if he has a winning record and the team makes the play-offs in the upcoming season.

                    Heyward, Alualu and Tuitt won't be around forever (if at all TA & ST speaking) .... as much as the Steelers rotate DL I'd say DL is not out of the question.

                      Makes sense. Tuitt's contract voids after this year too. It almost has to be DL this year the more I think about it.

                        Agree about special DL talent...don't pass on it

                          Cine played so much off ball I don't recall him being walked down much. He looked real fluit at Indi and flipped his hips well from what I saw. Lots to work with there including the fact he is a excellent tackler.

                            We'll need excellent tacklers in the backfield if Bush stays in at ILB

                              Thanks hack; I forgot about Tuitt’s contract voiding.
