Re: Planet Mock Commentary.

Freeman won't be getting by Tampa Bay in the first round.

I hear what your saying but I hope thats not the case. I like TB and would love to see them build their D instead. Now maybe if Sanchez were to drop to them...

You (Raheem Morris) don't call Josh Freeman the next Roethlisberger, then pass him up in the draft.

Basically calling himself an idiot is what that is.

Exactly. Especially when your top option otherwise is who?...McCown?

Now I cant hear what your saying anymore. Freeman is a very far cry from Ben because Ben actually wins his games.

Does that matter when it was Morris who compared him to Ben? If you compare someone to the youngest QB to ever win a Super Bowl...and then DONT take him when your team is desperately in need of a QB...then you might just be laughed at.

Re: Planet Mock Commentary.

OH, i didnt know he said that. I guess I cant hear Morris then! He is just looking for the Matt Ryan effect, since its his first year at the helm.

Re: Planet Mock Commentary.

Shawn Nelson is a great pick for the Giants.

Re: Planet Mock Commentary.

Speaking of Josh Freeman in the first (in the real draft), that pushes another player down to us at 32.

Re: Planet Mock Commentary.

Whoever picked for the Cardinals, great pick of Lawrence Sidbury. I was hoping he would drop to the 3rd round. That guy is going to be better than a lot of people think...

Thanks for the compliment.

Re: Planet Mock Commentary.

Now that the first two rounds are in the books, we get a glimpse at what might be available for the Steelers on Day 1.

At #32, we could have taken an o-lineman like Alex Mack, Duke Robinson, Max Unger, or Phil Loadholdt. We could have taken a CB like Darius Butler, D.J. Moore, or Coye Francies. We could have taken a d-lineman like Ron Brace or Jarron Gilbert. We could have taken a safety such as Louis Delmas, Sean Smith, or William Moore. We could have taken a WR like Brian Robiskie or Juaquin Iglesias. We could have taken a LB like James Laurinaitus, Brian Cushing, Aaron Maybin, or Larry English.

I think WoodleyofTroy made the best choice here, going with Mack. That is who I would have chosen.

At #64 (if we don't trade up), there appears to be several options. You could go with a tackle such as Jamon Meredith, Troy Kropog, or Fenuki Tupou. You could go with a guard such as Andy Levitre, Herman Johnson, or Kraig Urbik. You could go with a WR such as Derrick Williams or Louis Murphy. You could go with a d-lineman such as Fili Moala, Chris Baker, or Sammie Lee Hill. You could go CB with Macho Harris, Jarius Byrd, or Sherrod Martin.

I think the choice would come down to Moala vs. Meredith. I would lean toward using the second straight pick to help the o-line by selecting Jamon Meredith. It gives us decent depth at OT in 2009, and if they are not able to re-sign Starks or Colon beyond next season, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility in 2010 to start Tony Hills in his 3rd year at LT and Jamon Meredith in his 2nd year at RT. I don't think that we would be able to get a similar quality OT prospect to Meredith on day 2, but I still think that there are several other intriguing 3-4 DE prospects that could be had later in the draft if they do not take Moala, such as his USC teammate Kyle Moore, Nebraska's Zach Potter, Stanford's Pannel Egboh, and Northern Iowa's Everette Pendescleaux.

Re: Planet Mock Commentary.

Wow Ruthless! I really like what you have done for the Rams! Jason Smith, Jamon Meredith, and Jason Brown would all of the sudden make the Rams O-line very formidable! They may actually be able to compete in that division, ok well maybe not but it is definitely a good start! Bravo brother bravo!

Thanks, man! The transformation from the "Greatest Show of Turf" years (now that Ike Bruce and Torry Holt are gone) to the "Grind It Out with Steven Jackson" years is upon us. Plus, I thought getting Brian Cushing in the early second was a bargain BPA type pick, and he should help that defense out as well.

Regarding your drafting thus far, I sure hope Cleveland is not able to get Aaron Curry, Donald Brown, and Jarron Gilbert. That would suck if someone drafting for them actually knew what they were doing for once.

I dont know exactly how accurate that is man...remember that there are some players that were taken in the 2nd who likely will actually go in the first...pushing other players down to us (Cushing+Freeman).
