7 round mock the mock

[ark steel]

Yeah taking a risk with a comp pick, why not. Yinz weren't expecting it. I have no problems with them doing whatever with that pick.

everyone doesn't feel this way. We had a huge thread about a comp pick!

No prizes, mocks aren't worth anything - that's my motto

Just for ***** and giggles, this is how I think the Steelers would draft this "mock":

1. Takk McKinley, OLB
I have been saying this for a few weeks, but I think they like him a lot. I think his film is similar to Jarvis Jones without the issues they think are why Jones failed. The surgery and being out for a while almost makes it certain he is there when they pick and the Steelers love having the card ready.

2. Josh Jones, S
Again, when I see a player that matches a player already on the Steelers roster I pay attention and Jones is very similar to Mike Mitchell.

3a. Brad Kaaya, QB
I have a gut feeling the Steelers are going to force QB with one of our 3rd round picks no matter what. They are going to argue the pick as "extra" and spout a lot of P.R. about how they love Mr. X (whoever that is). In this draft, that ends up being Kaaya.

3b. Kendall Beckwith, ILB
The Steelers get their thumper in the middle to push Vince Williams and maybe eventually replace him down the line full time. Once again, the film says he looks like the old version of Lawrence Timmons so the Steelers are probably going to like him.

4. Damontae Kazee, CB
I agree with the mock and think the Steelers will once again stick with what they like to scout. Kazee will really push for time as a slot corner in year one.

5. Kareem Hunt, RB
After a big run of Running Backs in this draft the Steelers kind of force the issue and get a guy. I think of all those left Hunt will appeal to them the most so I'm picking him here.

6. Zach Banner, OT
We haven't talked about it much but there is a pretty big hole left on the roster when Ryan Harris retired. Yes, we picked Hawkins last year in round 4 but are we really going into the season as him the swing backup? Banner looks just like another long-term Steeler that Tombert gave 2nd, 3rd and 4th chances: Max Starks.

7. Cole Hikutini, TE
I'm not really sure about this. Everyone is pushing TE's but we have James, Green, Gimble & Johnson under contract. That's a fairly solid group when healthy. I'll throw this in here because in a deep TE class you might get a lot luckier and find a much better player than someone like Blanchflower.

This is just like a Steelers draft. A bit there to make you excited but also some head scratchers and maybe "forcing" positions. Plenty to debate and argue about

 

[Papa Lazarou]

1. Budda Baker, S, Washington
2. Tanoh Kpassagnon, DE, Villanova
3. a. Sidney Jones, CB, Washington
3. b. Dede Westbrook, WR, Oaklahoma
4. Jonnu Smith, TE, Florida International
5. Avery Moss, DE, Youngstown State
6. T.J. Logan, RB, North Carolina
7. Alex Torgersen, QB, Penn

This mock is ugly and it's mother dresses it funny.

 

[TDX27]

I would have no problem double dipping at EDGE and CB this year if the players are there. Make our weaknesses a strength over the next year or two. That would surely go a long way toward doing it.

Does the mock link fail to open for anyone else, or is it just me?

Finally got the link to work on my home computer:

1. Because this mock has a huge value at EDGE available in round 3, I will pass on Mckinnley, Lawson and Williams: S Obi Melifonu.
2. CB Adoree Jackson.
3. OLB Tyus Bowser. Doubtful he will really last this long.
3. WR Amar Darboh.
4. RB James Connor.
5. DL Charles Walker.
6. OL Zack Banner.
7. Best player available at QB, WR, CB, or EDGE.

Those three picks would transform this D, into solid if not special.

As you said probable won't happen. But hey we dare to dream.

Being based near Miami and watching the UM games either in person or on TV, I'm here to say Kaaya isn't worth a 3rd round pick. His accuracy and ball placement is very poor in the intermediate routes, and he tends to under show the deep ball, which sucked for UM as they have plenty of fast guys. He's not a good anticipator either.

He's a systems finesse type of QB, who lacks a good arm, and will be nothing but a back up in the NFL. With tons of experienced and a decent technique, much of his upside is already filled.

The last thing the Steelers need for Bell and Bryant is Kaya to pass to them:
