    Probably miss our draft position because,I'd still be laughing at the Jaguars for taking Tim Tebow at 1.11

    Or, draft CJ Spiller...

      LOL,..i feel you Pap,...but you have no idea how much southerners adore Tebow. He would fill the stadium in his hometown of Jacksonville. The Jags are struggling in terms of attendance,...and they do not have a second round pick.

      But more importantly,..did YOU just say Spiller Pap !? Say it ain't so man ?!

      But,...i digress,...as i want to keep the thread on the topic of what would our fellow members here do at 18.

          well, in that scenario-

          a couple items to consider

          A. IMO, jacksonville is going to be looking to trade down. (tebow is almost certain to be around in the 2nd)-
          so, If Haden and McLain are both still on the board at 11- someone is going to trade up to grab one of them. Likely Haden.

          after that-

          B. If Mclain is still on the board- I'd try to negotiate with either SanFran or Seattle to move up ahead of the Giants- (who are almost certain to go D) and take him.

          If that doesn't work- I'd look to trade down a few spots...

          Looking for
          Iupati
          Campbell
          Odrick
          Kindle

          ??? really depends upon how far down they trade. Maybe even look at some of the 2nd tier corners???

            Re: These 17 down,...what do YOU do ?

            I'd trade out of it to a team that needs a young rb like san diego, pick up an extra second round pick, take either Graham, Oderick or Weatherspoon with my first round pick, in the second I'd take Nate Allen and Brandon Spikes (unless we got weatherspoon) and in the third I'd take Troupe...

              i would also consider CB Kyle Wilson and C Maurkice Pouncey if we traded down towards the end of the first round...love your Round 2 and 3 picks!

                          If Czar thinks that Bruce Campbell is as ordinary as a bowl of grits, then I'll take him.
                          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.

                              Tebow will not be a 1st round pick and Spiller would be gone. However, to keep true to your post....In that scenario @ #18 it would have to be Spiller. He might be a Top 10 player. He would be BPA.

                              Really, if you put that together...Pretty darn good job except for Tebow. To be more realistic, let say Spiller is off the board in that scenario by deleting Tebow. I think the very latest Spiller goes is #16 to SF.

                              I'm looking past the combine now so stay with me. I'm not a fan of Thomas that high. He has great range and is a playmaker. He would have to convert to CB to have a long career in my opinion. He is Bob Sanders if he stays at S with the injuries. That is speculation but alot of scouts are saying that because of his slight frame. Taylor Mays might move up with some solid workout numbers at the combine. If he could show good change of direction you could assume he could get better at coverage with some coaching. That being said, even with Thomas or Mays being both on the board or one being on the board when the Steelers pick in your sceanrio above with Spiller gone...

                              After the combine, he will be a mid first pick. His workout should draw comparisons to Willis. You put this kid behind NFL caliber DL and he will be special. He shows up on film and showed up at the Senior Bowl. When he lights up the cone drills the NFL FOs will know what this kid's potential is. He is a 3 down LB with alot of range. So if Williams is off the board....Sean Weatherspoon to the Steelers at #18.
