NFL 2023 draft simulator

[madinsomniac]

Thoughts on Anton Harrison from Oklahoma? I read he is a true LT where there is some question if Wright can play the left side. I am thinking it may be possible that Harrison and Dawand Jones could be there at 32.

I think the thing on Harrison was that he was better pass blocking than run blocking, Id be fine with him at 32…

Mock the mock https://www.profootballnetwork.com/7-round-nfl-mock-draft-4-2023/

PFN:
1.17 Dawand Jones, OT, Ohio State
2.32 Kelee Ringo, CB, Georgia
2.49 Jonathan Mingo, WR, Ole Miss
3.80 Noah Sewell, LB, Oregon
4.120 Nic Hampton, EDGE, Appalachian State
7.234 Spencer Anderson, OL, Maryland
7.241 Anthony Johnson Jr., DB, Iowa State


1.17 Broderick Jones, OT, Georgia
The Steelers have spent a lot of time checking out the CBs, but building a strong offense starting with the offensive line is too enticing. Jones has the skillset to be excellent.

2.32 Joey Porter Jr., CB, Penn State
Ringo has more athletic upside while Porter has the pedigree and maybe a little more consistent.

2.49 Keeanu Benton, IDL, Wisconsin
I've bought in that Weidl will have a big influence on this draft and that will include building the team through the trenches as they've done so well in Philadelphia. Capable run defender with flashes of pass rush ability. Gervon Dexter would not be a surprise here either. (I'd be tempted to trade up for Jack Campbell).

3.80 Dorian Williams, LB, Tulane
Athletic linebacker with coverage ability. Brings a different set of skills from the guys the Steelers signed this offseason.

4.120 Riley Moss, CB, Iowa
Good size and speed. What stands out most is his 11 INTs, something the Steelers seem to value from their DBs.

7.234 Ronnie Bell, WR, Michigan
Trying to find a wide receiver who can compete at the bottom of the depth chart.

7.241 Ochaun Mathis, EDGE, Nebraska
A long-shot, but has plenty of starting experience.

OK, if I see someone else on here or another social media site or even PG chat ask about moving Chuks to LT, I am going to climb through the computer and smack the person silly. Why do people seem to forget something from less than 2 years ago. Chuks was supposed to be our LT for 3+ years and could not uplevel his game to be a true starter. Moving him to RT was his only option and he is average there. He is definitely replaceable. Moore is going into his 3rd year and did improve in his 2nd year even with a terrible OC and a terrible G next to him. I do think the Steelers think he would be OK going into 2023 as their starter expecting him to improve and with a good G playing next to him for the first time so he won't have to worry about covering for them. This is also why I am hesitant about taking Wright at 17 as he is a natural RT and wasn't very good at LT. If Broderick Jones fell to us at 17, he is one LT you would run to the podium for and then hope Moore can learn RT and bounce Chuks to swing tackle. Chuks ceiling is already here. Moore still hasn't reached his ceiling at LT and especially not RT if they decide to try him there. I definitely don't see Chuks lasting past his current contract.

 

[Litos]

I don't see chuk finishing his contract here

 

[BLITZ]

Or we could move chucs to Left tackle

 

[F83]

17 Deonte Banks cb, Maryland, we got the type of CB we should of when we didn't get Jackson111 big fast has all the traits of a long-term starter on the outside

32 mazi smith, dt, Michigan whether our base is a 34 4-2-5 or a hybrid 335 he at 315 is athletic enough to be a 3 down dl solid vs the run can attract the double teams and beat them.
49 WR Hyatt Tenn, Big Speedster , has the Wallace and D jackson speed cath n run big yac yards or long td
80 ILB Sewell Oregon like style, gets a chance to learn and in a year push for starting gig, has the speed and traits to play in some of the new formations we will run esp playing in the pass-happy pac 12
120 edge mike morris Michigan, could develop into a similar dl/edge like Tuitt, Dupree, and gary, he has the frame to be 43 edge rusher and strength as a 3t 6"5 275-285 to cause havoc both pass rushing and run blitzing and can line him multiple places.
234 WR Ronnie Bel Michigan, is a Great run blocker, shifty slot receiver, gritty can make tough catches in traffic as well as return kicks, I see potential in him to develop into a ward-type WR, do the dirty work happily, and make key catches in crucial situations.
241 QB Stetson Bennett Georgia- Proven winner will compete hard to become a legit backup and plays with a big chip on his shoulder, very capable of filling in if needed.

My first mock. Togh to figure whicyh directions the steelers will go post Colbert. I am figuring Weidl to bring his Eagles experince and put huge value on OL and DL.

In this mock, Porter was gone by 17 which kind of made OT the no brainer. That's assuming the Steelers see OT as a need. Fans and Steelers have had far different views on OL for year but it seems obvious the Steelers are changing their tune on that.

This offseason makes CB a huge need. Probably the biggest. They need a guy who can play immediately. Luckily this draft is deep at CB

Just an accident that i ended up with 3 PSU guys to end the draft. I don't see any way that Brown or Strange will be available that late. I'd love Mustipher in Rd 7 as that big run stuffer in the middle. He didn't test well coming off some injuries, which could make him a steal in rd 7.

I see WR as a need. To me, this draft is not great for WR. Lots of depth guys similar to what the steelers already have. They may have to take a WR in the top 3 rounds if they want a guy who can actually start

I was tempted to take Zay Flowers at 2.32 but with Van Ness such a perfect fit I had to go pass rusher

1.17 OT Darnell Wright Tenn
2.32 Edge Lucas Van Ness Iowa
2.49 WR Rashee Rice SMU
3.80 CB Tyrique Stevenson Miami
4.120 S Ji'Ayir Borwn Penn State
7.234 TE Brenton Strange Penn State
7.241 NT PJ Mustipher Penn State

[TDX27]

Two trade backs but still stayed in round 1. Grabbed Wright, who will probably be a RT and shouldn't take much to beat out Chuks. Shored up the center of the D with a big athletic NT and an ILB that just has the look of a Steeler. Brents, Hall, Mingo, and Harrison are all good value. I think Hall is the pass rush specialist on the outside while Harrison being so big can play more DE. Either way, it solidifies the position in case the Steelers don't want to pay Highsmith well north of $15 million which seems to be the talk. All in all, I think I could handle how this played out.

Yeah we have been getting that guy in the 7th round. One can hope

and the more you don't select him ... the further he drops.

@bermudasteel keeps selecting him at 32, though. ******* retard.

Mingo is a guy I keep going back to because he brings something different to the table. He's the battle between his production--it was okay--versus his potential. He's a big time athlete who seems to have only begun to touch his potential. GM's love players of his size and athleticism and I could see him going much higher than his ranking on this site.

Next question…Can Cody Mauch play tackle. I’ve seen him listed as IOL and G/T.

Traded back 3 times and still stayed in the 1st round.( because everyone knows that is the Steeler way) trenches shored up

 

[SteelerFan448]

1.17 Bryan Bresee, DT, Clemson
He was the highest-rated player on the board that included a Pro Day visit. I'll admit he scares me as a prospect with his injury history and lack of production. Bresee seems to be a project who may take 3-4 years to fully develop, but along the defensive line, we saw Cam Heyward play his best football as he got older. Again, a bit rich of a pick for Bresee, but I'm going solely on ranking and the Pro Day visit here.

2.33 (trade) Darnell Wright, OT, Tennessee
I was hoping Wright would fall and he did. I think he's a capable Day 1 starter at right tackle. There just weren't any left tackles available and figured I could upgrade here.

2.49 Joe Tippmann, C, Wisconsin
Maybe the most athletic center in this draft. He may not win a starting as a rookie, but he's a big, athletic center who will be the long-term starter in the near future.

3.80 Jonathan Mingo, WR, Ole Miss
With the offensive line secured, it was time to add one more piece so I got my slot receiver. Mingo is ultra athletic and a big receiver. He can play the slot early on with the potential to move outside when DJ's contract runs out.

4.104 (trade) Darius Rush, CB, South Carolina
A project at cornerback. He has good size and ball skills. Peterson will help mentor Rush into an NFL role.

4.120 Ji'Ayir Brown, S, Penn State
Everything about his scouting report screams solid starter in the NFL. I think he contributes early and establishes himself as a long-term player in the league. Not a future All-Pro, but a guy who helps you win.

7.241 Byron Young, EDGE, Alabama
An older prospect, he's a good athlete who will learn from Watt and Highsmith in hopes of eventually developing into a rotational backup.
