Re: Toddjammin end of season Mock Draft

I would stay away from Taylor Mays in Rd 1. He is horrible in coverage and has no ball skills.

IMO Taylor Mays = Anthony Smith a.k.a KillSwitch

I would go with

Rd1 - Earl Thomas S/CB, Texas
Rd2 - Dan Williams NT, Tenn

Young may go in the third round, but he is turrible. His pass pro is among the worst in this draft class. Not an upgrade over Colon. In fact, I think his pass protection will be much worse as a pro.

What is your plan for NT? Are we franchising Casey?

Yours make much more sense but unlikely Williams lasts until pick #19 in Round 2.

We could also go DL in Round 1 and get some good safeties in Round 2, e.g. Darrell Stuckey, Nate Allen.

Unfortunately this draft will not provide any quick help at the CB position. But I guess it isn't hard to get a CB to play 10 yards off the receiver?

Agreed on Mays. He is terrible. Incredible overall 'athlete', but not much of a FS. Coverage skills are horrendous. Horrible angles on the field. Bad judgement.

Re: Toddjammin end of season Mock Draft

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but I believe that Colon will be extended. The Steeler coaching staff and front office seem to be content with Colon and they've made mention of this fact. They have said that he is as talented as any right tackle in the league or something to that effect.

The Steelers have locked up 3/5s of the current line with extensions, I believe they'll be looking to make it 4/5s and potentially upgrade right guard or believe that Stapleton will return and anchor that position.

Starks: 4 years, 26.3 million signed through 2012
Kemo: 5 years, 20 million signed through 2013
Hartwig: 4 years, 10 million signed through 2012

Colon will probably get a 5 year deal to stagger the contracts expiring. That would keep 4/5s of the line together through 2012 and that wouldn't be a bad thing, IMO.

That is truly a well thought out mock draft that merits praise and compliments!

So your saying that Essex was a problem at RG? I thought he did a great job...

The excellent line has run its course. This is my new one. I probably will change the line every year now.
