How do you know that those 2 aren't our top needs? Because of what you see and read on FB and in the press? We have a need on the DL. We need depth and Cam isn't getting any younger. We have need at Safety too. More so than OL.

my opinion is offensive tackle, nose tackle corner & inside linebacker are our 4 biggest needs.

I really hope we get Bresee at #17. Last few years showed it to easy to run the ball down our throats. There were games teams ran out the clock on us Bettis style. That ain't Pittsburgh football! If Carter somehow slipped to #9 & we traded up i'd be estatic. If we get Addison or Porter i'll be just as happy but really i wish we'd use 3 of our 4 top 80 picks on offensive line & defensive line. We lost a lot of games in the trenches. We can go WR & CB high next year, take care of business this draft with the BIG UGLIES!

If corner is so deep pick one in round 3 or 4 that needs developing ala Ike Taylor....

Here's what i'd be happy with:

#17 Bryan Bresee DT
#32 Dawand Jones OT
#49 Luke Wypler C
#80 Clark Phillips III CB

NT to stop the run is short-sighted. You want teams to stop running on us? Score some points and get leads. This isn't 2001 anymore.

Once we go heavy with our NT and run stopping LBs, teams will shred the D in the hurry up passing game.

Give me a fast, playmaking defense AND offense.

Zay Flowers will not be there at 32

He'll go to the Chargers, Bills, or Chiefs.

Yeah, like when Peyton Manning and #1 seeded Colts at home shredded us with with Casey Hampton, James Farrior, Larry Foote & Lawrence Timmons. Or the Superbowl where Casey should have been MVP of XL.

That was almost two decades ago. We don't have the back seven we had then, either. Who's covering when teams start throwing against our base? Mahomes/Herbert/Allen/Burrow aren't going to patiently run into a brick wall all game.

We went 15-1 when Hampton was out for the year

L. Timmons?

They run more than you think. Casey came out on 2nd & 3rd & longs. It's a bigger value than people think. I'm not saying NT has to be a 3 down player. I'm not saying it has to be a first round pick either. Chris Hoke did the job just as well.

Then sign me a Chris Hoke & i'll be happy. We didn't change our philosophy when Casey went down.
