Sounds like a bunch of names picked out of a hat!

Round 6 OT Kevin Haslam from Rutgers 6 Foot 5 304 LB's
Round 7A OLB Adrian Tracy from William & Mary 6 Foot 3 248 LB's
Round 7B K Aaron Petrey from Ohio State 6 Foot 1 198 LB's

I'd like to see us grab one more for the secondary. Thomas will be a FS probably, so I'd like to see us get a quality CB in Rd 2 or 3. I think Rd. 2 is probably too high for Cam Thomas, since he only "flashed" at the Senior Bowl, but if he has a great combine, you may be right.

That's an excellent mock draft! :P

Re: Toddjammin's Post Super Bowl Mock Draft

Aaron Petrey is my favorite pick in your mock!!! Ha.

Seriously though, that guy has a cannon for a leg, and is used to kicking in crap weather. I rarely feared a miss when he was coming in for a long kick for the Buckeyes.

However I'm not a huge draft studier...is he projected to even be drafted? It would be great to get him as UDFA and not use a pick on him.

Re: Toddjammin's Post Super Bowl Mock Draft

if the Steelers franchise Casey Hampton which I suspect we will, do you think we will spend a 2nd round draft choice on a NT considering we still have so many other needs? and remember, we still have Chris Hoke who is serviceable there.

i realize we need to get younger at NT at some point in the near future, but the drafted NT would be a 3rd stringer who would never see the field unless there was an injury.

if we franchise Big Snack I doubt we will draft a NT in the first two rounds...

He was only 14 of 20 this year, but was 6 of 8 from over 40 yards. Most of his misses came from 30-39 yards. nfldraftscout.com has him projected as a 7th round pick and the No. 2 kicker in the draft behind only Leigh Tiffin. You are right, he does have a great leg, but not sold on his accuracy.

Re: Toddjammin's Post Super Bowl Mock Draft

FWIW, the Steelers were rumored to have been interested in Brett Swenson from Mich St at the Senior Bowl...his kickoffs are fairly deep also.

I read this is also why we brought in the new P from Pitt, he is known for his deep kickoffs, something like 30% of them were touchbacks.

If the Steelers franchise Hampton, there is EVERY chance that the start of Season 2011 begins with the Steelers having no NT that was previously on the roster. Hoke is 34 this season, 35 next. Hampton, franchised, would be very unlikely to recieve a longer contract at 33 than he would at 32. So the Steelers would enter 2011 with no NT that has played for the Steelers.

Don't see that happening- do you?

They'll draft a NT- maybe even 2 depending on how it plays out. If they deem the need high enough, and if the demand for 3-4 NT's is indeed higher due to more teams playing a 3-4, then yes, drafting a NT in the first 2 rounds is quite possible.

anything is possible, I just wouldn't want to use a 1st or 2nd round draft choice on a NT and then essentially redshirt him behind Hampton and Hoke for all of next year.

we could always draft a NT in the 3rd round or later this year and develop him or draft our NT in 2011...save the first two picks this year for players who have a better chance of seeing the field this upcoming season.

Timmons, Mendenhall, Hood....Tomlin's first 3 1st Round picks essentially fit your 'red shirt' season catagory.

but at least they dressed on game days...a 3rd string NT won't.

Re: Toddjammin's Post Super Bowl Mock Draft

let's find a mid to late round gem like this guy...

Ratliff goes under the knife

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on February 10, 2010 7:19 PM ET

First-team All Pro nose tackle Jay Ratliff underwent surgery on both of his elbows Wednesday to remove bone spurs.

As painful as that sounds, Ratliff is expected to be ready for the team's offseason conditioning program.

Ratliff, a seventh-round pick in 2005, backed up his first Pro Bowl appearance with an even better year in 2009. He's one of the best bargains in the NFL, set to earn "only" $2.105 million next year.

3rd string NT could be 2nd or 1st string if the current 1st string NT becomes a FA

Swanson couldnt get a kick in the endzone to save his life at the Senior Bowl
