    Mock Draft Roundup

    Not big on doing mock drafts myself, but got bored at work and conducted a totally unscientific and random sampling on who mock drafters have us taking. Thought it might be interesting to take a look before and after the combine to see how these opinions change. Of course none of these are right because the draft always takes a turn or two that no one expects, plus I can’t vouch for the sanity of any of these people

    In addition to checking CBS, Fox, NFL.com, etc (I’ve pointed out who some of these “authoritative” sites have us taking), other sources are here: [url]http://walterfootball.com/draftdata.php[/url] (Draft Debacled posters seem to really enjoy mocking).

    Mike Iupati, G, Idaho – 7 (CBS, Kiper)
    Dan Williams, NT, Tennessee – 6 (CBS)
    Earl Thomas, S, Texas – 4
    Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa – 4 (Kiper’s pick before today)
    Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland – 3 (McShay)
    Taylor Mays, S, USC - 3
    Donovan Warren, CB, Michigan - 2
    Greg Hardy, DE/OLB, Ole Miss – 2
    Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma – 2 (Fox)
    Brian Price, DT, UCLA - 2
    Dunlap, DE, Florida – 1
    Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State – 1
    Jermaine Cunningham, DE, Florida – 1
    Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame – 1
    Patrick Robinson, CB, Florida State - 1
    Terrance Cody, NT, Alabama – 1 (NFL.com)
    Jared Odrick, DT, PSU - 1
    Sean Weatherspoon, OLB, Mizzou - none
    Brandon Spikes, ILB, Florida - none

    As discussed on the forum many times, Haden, McClain, Berry and the like are long gone before our pick in most of these mocks, though I have seen Haden and McClain slip into the 12 and 13 spots here and there. Berry seems to be the favorite to go to TB, Haden to the Stains.

    who the heck predicted Golden Tate to the Steelers? Did they just pick names out of a hat?

      Or Jermaine Cunningham. That wouldn't be an awful pick...if it were made in, say, the 4th round instead.
      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 should have kept better track of the picks from sites geared toward the draft. I think for the most part people hear Ben was sacked 50 times = Steelers draft O-line. End of thought process.

        Golden Tate is a head scratcher, thats for sure.

            This site also has links to a lot of mock drafts:

                Golden Tate?? hahahahahahahahaha!! what the.....

                When I look at Mocks I go to the Steelers and if it's a moronic pick like this, all validity is thrown out the window. Especially when they have fancy analysis such as:

                #18 - STEELERS - Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame: Hines Ward is not getting any younger and the Steelers are looking for someone to step up and fill his shoes. Holmes is a bonified #1, the Steelers will need someone along side him. Limas Sweed has been a bust and Mike Wallace looks to be the #3 WR now. Tate is just too good to pass up at #18

                HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
                Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go...
