Post your first post season mock draft here

Steelers mock draft.

Now that the college season has ended we can better project the mock draft.


1. OT Broaderick Thomas. A big man with the right measurables and agility. He will start at RT as a rookie. A major plus as a run blocker. Good vs. the pass though he needs some work to round out his rough edges. He should be on the board for us.

2A. Wow the Bears pick which would be a first round pick if Miami didn't have to forfeit their 1st rounder. DT / NT Sikia Ika. A pure run defending beast who's near improbable to move off the line he will add value to the bese run defined as a 3-4 NT, or a 4-3 DT. Also as a DT in the nickel or dime has special value on the goal line or in short yardage situations.

2B. OG Andrew Vorhess. A big man who is skilled at pass blocking and run blocking moves from tackle to guard in the pros. He a mean steak and is very strong.

3. ILB Jack Campbell. A good tackler with range, and size. Productive in coverge active hands. A team captain and a leader. A long term solution.

4. QB. Stetson Benett. A QB who's accurate deep, runs as quick as they come and shined in many games vs. SEC competition and in the post season. Very smart and accurate. Good but not very good or great velocity / Arm. Very Doug Fluite-like.

7A. S. Ku'Ayir Brown, This ultra collector ball athlete has 9 carrer int, 3 forced fumbles and 3 fumble recoveries. He is a deployable man to our sub packages. I like this guy!

7B P Austin McNamara. Only averaged 48.2 yard pre kick last year. Forces a lot of fair catches.

1st round is all wrong. They are all set with their OL going forward. I told you so last fall, and I will tell you so on draft day.

We need OL. Okay you can tell me some on draft day. We have Moore jr and Dotson playing, they need to be phased out of the line up.

[Joel Buchsbaum]

Hearing him in a small number of interviews, he comes across as a guy that’s not very smart and not a leader.

I totally get why guys wouldn’t like him.

I don’t see him being successful as a pro.

Just curious. How can you tell and what did he say that makes you think this? We'll see what he gets on the wonderlick test, which measures basic intelligence. I think the will score above a 17, which a low that some teams have to play QB. The NFL said this as reported by writers, not me.

LOL, I doubt that is gonna happen. Moore has played 32 straight games at LT, I believe. He's gotten better with each game. That unit up front is now a good cohesive group. You sound like you never played a down in your life. Especially in the trenches.

Edit- 29 starts out of 32

We make this mistake every year.

“They better draft OL or else!”

I actually think Dotson is the position that needs to be addressed on the OL. If we draft OL its probably for depth.

Porter Jr seems to be the favorite but I doubt that as well.

I think its LB or WR.

I'm interested to hear Tomlin's opinion on those two guys 2022 season.

Not that it matters but did play and coach a long time ago. And as and FYI I played tackle on offense Safety , a safety on defense. Some DL too. We ran a winged T offense and a "monster " based defense

After some consideration and 2 years worth of his play I have come to the conclusion that Moore is well below average for in run blocking and pass blocking , and get flagged often. We need a new LT! And a LG.

Or DL, I think.

With so many needs, I hope they genuinely have a board and just pick who they have highest.

Well now, if you go and insert 2 new LT and LG if will set the entire line back for a year. Cant do that. I agree that we can draft a few for depth, (later in draft) especially maybe look at a replacement at LG at some point, BUT Moore is a damn good run blocker. If you watch the games, you would see that. Thats his game. Pass blocking is an art- I played LT many years ago. He's perfecting his art and will be starting at LT for the foreseeable future, barring injury. And I doubt they will give on K. Green. He may be the heir apparent at some point for LG.

We need DL, Defensive Backs. We shall see what FA's they covet come March. But I'll bet ya a pound of salted peanuts that we dont bring in any OL. Except to fill the roster.

On another note. How can Purdy put up 41 points in a playoff game drafted as 256th player, and Kenny had a hard time putting up 24 in a game? Canada needs to go.

Dan Moore is a terrible run blocker, so is Chuks. They're the two lowest graded run blockers on a team of average run blockers.

Playing the same guys next year set us back. I am for shifting Chucks to LT next year and playing talented rookies at LG and RT. We will better next Thanksgiving with two rookies selected in round one and two-- @ss kickers in the ground game with upside ability as pass protectors

It's not all Canada.

[Captain Lemming]

this needs to be another draft/offseason on improving the offense.
the offense ranked in the bottom third and bottom quarter is points and yards in 2022.
the defense, as said in the above post, was 0.3 points per game away from ranking in the top 5 in the league.
In order to make the playoffs we need a big improvement on the offensive side of the ball. hopefully we can get it near 10/13th in the league. that seems reachable imo

i've looked over a few mocks and a few big boards and there are guys all over the place. some players i noticed in the 1st round in one site and 3rd round in another. so its unlikely any mock right now will be accurate.
that said, here goes

17. Porter Jr.
after all what was said about improving the offense, I doubt the steelers pass on JPjr. 6'2 200lbs corners that can cover don't come around too often.
would def consider OTs paris, jomes, skoronski and gonzales another 6'2 CB

32. Anton Harrison OT
need an upgrade at LT. if they think pickett is the qb of the future, then grab his blind side protector.
KP has been knocked out of 2 games in his short career

49. rashee rice WR
another 2nd round receiver like we'e seen a lot of in recent years
who's behind pickens and DJ who is only signed for a couple more years? simms? gunnar? austin?
that's not good enough in today's game
quick highlight video of this guy shows some good YAC ability as well as being a downfield threat.

80. Jack Campbell ilb
tackle machine

119. keondre coburn NT
6'2 340 lbs nose tackle

235. alex forsyth
iol to add to the mix


If the top 3 picks pan out, we'll have a cost controlled QB, RB1 RB2, WR1, WR2, TE1, LT for the next few years all in their first contacts.
you can use the 2024, 2025 drafts and beyond to add to the stars on the defense

I absolutely love this mock NJ.

[whisper]

1-17. Jaelyn Duncan, OT, MD - is a team captain who showed some solid athleticism. And Shades infatuation with MD is well established, he even sent his son there on a scholarship given to him by OC Canada.

2-32. Antonio Johnson, CB, TX A&M - is a huge 6-3 cornerback who performed at a high level this past season.

2-49 - T'Vondre Sweat, NT, TX - is a massive player and a great athlete for a player his size. He has drawn comparisons to Jordan Davis. Didn't Hampton come from TX?

3-80 - Dontay Demus Jr. WR, MD - suffered a season-ending torn ACL in October 2021, but could still be a first-round pick because of his size (6-3) and athleticism. I say it's too early to take a WR with our more pressing needs but they will want to keep their rep alive for drafting WRs well (and take them higher than most realize).

4. Ji'Ayir Brown, S, PSU.

5. Best ILB.

[NJ-STEELER]

jim miller and pat kirwin on their "moving the chains" show did their 1st mock of the offseason.

they just alternated picks and went thru the 1st round

miller pick Van Ness at 17 for the steelers

good news is JPJ, paris, and broderick were all available. bad news is i doubt it will play out like that,
miller seemed to make some picks to illicit fan reaction.

gone in the top 16 were

bijon @ 5 to seattle
addison at 12
