I think it is funny that you called UCLA's Price "Bruce" instead of "Brian"...perhaps it was a Freudian slip of some kind when you subconsciously thought of UCLA great Bruce Davis and all the grittiness that he brought to our team. We are mostly on the same page, though (for the most part)...other than the boys from L.A., Mays and Price, that is. As for OLB candidates, though, I prefer Brandon Graham and Jerry Hughes over Sergio Kindle.

LOL,....you just may right about the Freudian slip on my part Ruthless. It appears that even when the hated Bruins produce players that i would like as Steelers,....Davis comes to mind. lol

I'm with you on Graham,..the Kid was almost unstoppable at the Senior Bowl. I've been hearing alot of comparisons to Woodley whenever he's mentioned. I'm thinking the Patsies snag him at 22 unless they trade up with the Jags for Dez Bryant or someone else they've got their eyes on ? But hey who knows,..the first round hardly ever goes as anyone "plans".

I went with Kindle for my big Board because of how much Graham's skill set resembles Woodley's. Not to say that two such players is a bad thing by any means,....i just feel as though Kindle's (skill set) which is based more on natural fluid athleticism,..and tremendous speed rush ability would compliment the more powerful style of play that is almost Woodley's trademark.

As far as Hughes, to me he like Kindle is not exceptionally powerful,.....but where they differ is Hughes lacks Kindle's athleticism. He's stiff in the hips, and suffers a little in coverage and moreso against the run. But,...on the plus side he is explosive off the edge,is a sure tackler, productive and is a "high motor" kid.

I think they are very close,....but i'd personally give Kindle the edge because i believe he has a little bit more of an upside.

i find it hard to watch UCLA games now on tv without thinking of the immense contribution to the Steelers organization Bruce Davis made. what a great 3rd round selection that turned out to be, he was good in college but couldn't even help us on special teams as a pro.

for that very reason, I suggest we never again draft a UCLA player who has 5 letters in his first name and 5 letters in his last name.
