My money's on Antonio Brown, Emmanuel Sanders, Jerricho Cotchey, Plaxico Burress, and Markus Wheaton making the 53 man roster, with Justin Brown spending a year on the practice squad (I doubt another team is going to poach our 6th round WR, unless he absolutely blows it up in the preseason, which I don't expect, but if he did, then we'd certainly consider keeping him on our 53 man roster). J.B. could potentially step in for J.C. or P.B. next year.
Final 53 Prediction

Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus. -
I agree. The only wildcard is Dunn being so good that he is the 35 WR and they cut Burress knowing he will likely be on the street if they need him.My money's on Antonio Brown, Emmanuel Sanders, Jerricho Cotchey, Plaxico Burress, and Markus Wheaton making the 53 man roster, with Justin Brown spending a year on the practice squad (I doubt another team is going to poach our 6th round WR, unless he absolutely blows it up in the preseason, which I don't expect, but if he did, then we'd certainly consider keeping him on our 53 man roster).

It's very easy to hide our 6th Round WR. Just don't let there be a lot of film on him in the preseason. Don't give him a lot of reps."My team, may they always be right, but right or wrong...MY TEAM!"Comment

I made an early prediction right after the draft... looks like i lost ps-guess Ivory Wade... Whimper should take Farrell's place, moving him to the PS in that place. Also, later news sounds like Al Woods is making a move.. could spell trouble for Ta'amu or Fangupo... my guess is the latter... Adrian Robinson sounds to be making a move at OLB... surely they won't keep 5, so, bye bye chris Carter... Finally, here's to hoing McNeal takes Stephens-howling's spot, but, i doubt it.. experience should keep him around for this season.
