For my #1 I had the choices between Spiller, Iupati and Odrick.

I picked Spiller for two reasons:

1. He would do more as a rookie than the other two
2. So many of you on this board would have your head explode it was going to be more fun to watch

In reality I would probably go with Iupati if he doesn't prove to be dumb as a box of rocks like Kemo.

I like yours with the exception of picks 3 & 4. I think there are at least 8 better safeties than Wright. Walton is no better than Legursky. Blount will be long gone by round 5.

Re: First post Big Snack resigning mock

See below.
If Clark is retained, it will change. I wish I knew their intention with Colon. Life would be easier. He will be here for 2010, but do they get a deal done before the draft? Do they know they can't afford him past 2010? Those answers will make life easier on us. If they fell Colon is a 1 player for us...I feel there will be an OT taken in the 1st three rounds. Right now, my mock takes in consideration that Clark signs elsewhere and Colon is in their future plans. Things could change...Quickly!

I like that although I do have reservations with regards to Weatherspoon being an ILB. I think we will hear the entire "soft against the run" complaints we heard about Timmons and will have some posters longing for the return of Larry Foote.

I do think you need to consider flipping Johnson and Troup. With the demand for NTs as teams franschise or extend possible NT free agents I think it is going to become a premium position in this draft. I think Troup will be a "riser" between now and the draft.

There needs to be a safety in there somewhere. The Steelers need to add a young safety to the roster even if Clark is signed and brought back next year.

That could well be on Troup....but I think Johnson will be in demand in that third round as well. I think he has all the tools to make a solid NFL guard. I think the steelers....especially Dan Rooney (the scout) love Weatherspoons leadership.

I like yours with the exception of picks 3 & 4. I think there are at least 8 better safeties than Wright. Walton is no better than Legursky. Blount will be long gone by round 5.

There are better S than Wright...No doubt. They will all be gone before the Steelers pick. 3 of them alone could be in the 1st round. List you 8 Ss and we will see if they will be gone. Edit my list:
Berry
Thomas
Mays
Allen
C Jones
Burnett
Cook
R Jones


I don't think your Walton assesment is correct. Legursky is much stronger but Walton has better agilty. Legursky is very stiff in the hips and his weight room work has limited his upper body flexibilty. Walton has some great knee bend and plays with great leverage. I think Walton's upside surpasses Legursky's by far. These aren't finished products coming out. The level they are at now combined with their potential is the difference between Walton getting picked no later than the 3rd and a guy like Legursky going undrafted. Both could be productive players but Legursky might be close to his ceiling.

I agree with Blount. I moved him up to the 4th and believe he might even go higher. Keepin my fingers crossed.

1)Sean Weatherspoon-LB-Miz. Like this pick!!!

2)Devin McCourty-CB-Rut. He could be there. Many CBs grouped together in this spot. I have Cox.

2)Jonathan Dwyer-RB-GT Dwyer might be the #2 RB and sneek into the end of the 1st. Doubt he is there this late in the 2nd.

3)Mike Johnson-OL-Ala. Would be nice pick-up. Can play both G & T.

4)Torrell Troup-DT-UCF If he lasts this long...I would be all over him! I think he goes in the 3rd. There will be a run on DT.

5)O'Brien Schofield-OLB-Wisc. - Definately a good valu pick. If he was able to go at the combine he might have made himself a 3rd rounder. Given the Steelers lack of OLB depth...I think they go with a guy who could contribute going into game 1. Saying that, If he last into the 7th...Why not.

5c)Danny Batten-ILB-SDSU Made a name for himself at Texas vs Nation. See what he does at his proday. Might be a little high for him.

5c)Max Hall-QB-BYU No comment here. I don't see them drafting a QB.

7c)Brody Eldridge-TE-OU-At this point looking for any value. I don't see another TE making this roster.

Just my opinion. Very surprised you have no safeties or center prospects. We have no depth at OLB and you didn't pick anyone that could help us next year. I believe Schofield won't be ready for 2010.

My top 8 safeties would be

1) Berry
2) thomas
3) Mays
4) Jones
5) Allen
6) Asante
7) Burnett
Ward

of which I believe at least 3 will be there in the third.
