Coach's mockssssssssss. Late March 2020

[Coach]

Colbert gets an A+ for trading with Fitzpatrick. One of the best safeties in the league, and we've got him for cheap. Very much worth our first-round pick. The additions of Eborn and Wisnewski are short term solutions, which will allow the Steelers to enter this draft with an open mind. The loss of Hargrave, however, downgrades the defense. With Ben back, the defense the way it is, and 7 teams making the playoffs, I feel very confident the Steelers will make the playoffs.

Coach's mock:

Round 2 ) DT/NT Davon Hamilton. Can play 1 or 2 gaps. Big, and strong, with enough ability to make plays outside of his gap. Hamltion can make plays behind the line of scrimmage. Losing Hargrave will hurt both the pass and run defense, and let's be honest, the gap between him and the next man up is pretty wide.

Round 3 ) TE Adam Trutman. An all around TE who can block, run and catch, he had a good senior bowl week. The Steelers signed Ebron ( which could blow up in their faces ) and for now are keeping McDonald, so this is a future type of pick who should play as the two players ahead of him on the depth chart are expensive, have iffy hands, and are injury-prone.

Round 4 ) RB Darrynton Evans - A speed back, who runs well and offers extra value as a return man. Maybe not a workhorse type, he'll add much-needed zip to the offense.

Round 4 ) C Matt Hennessy. More than the sum of his parts, Hennessey can provide depth at C/G and should be able to play if needed. He might not have long term NFL starting ability, but he can be a solid/cheap back up for years, and the Steelers don't have much right now at backup guard or center.

Round 6 ) S JaQuaris Landrews. Good size, speed, and production. Steelers have very little depth at safety

Round 7. P Mann Much better and cheaper than the erratic Berry. A good tackler as well on special teams.

Adam trautman, Dayton. Qb convert to TE. No real completion faced in college. Hes a project. We already have one of those. I wish the best for him.

So you must think big Dan or Buggs can fill the role with no drop off?

Who I want depends on who’s out there. I want a lot of players that will likely be gone before we pick in round two.

I give a full draft review once the draft is over and say who I would have taken.

I think we picked up a decent run defender and the team will shuffle the deck and be fine. They do lose his pass rush capability.

No cooch it doesn't work that way. You lock into who you want before the draft. Other wise there is no coming back next year and claiming you wanted X player all along. But I am taking this thread as your picks as you are claiming you didn't get it from a mock site.

I like the idea of a DT at #49, but not you guy...

Round 2 Pick 17: Raekwon Davis, DE/DT, Alabama
Round 3 Pick 38 (COMP): Zack Moss, RB, Utah
Round 4 Pick 18: Yasir Durant, OT, Missouri
Round 4 Pick 29: Matt Hennessy, C, Temple
Round 6 Pick 19: Antoine Brooks, FS/SS, Maryland
Round 7 Pick 18: Shi Smith, WR, South Carolina

These Alabama players are tough to judge as they have so much talent around them. Davis had a good sophomore year. No doubt, But his next two year's he had just 2 sacks. That's it. He won't be able to bully people in the NFL and could have character issues. I like Hamilton better.

Not a bad draft. Moss and Hennesy are solid pick for rounds 3 and 4.

As for Durant, I suspect a slug who's not very strong or explosive who did not do a shuttle or cone drill because he's heavy footed. A RT only type of prospect.

Brooks? Too slow 4.64 to be an NFL safety. We dolt need a box guy.

I like Hamilton a lot. He’s a high floor guy imo. Not going to be a pro bowler but likely starter or rotation guy year one or two.

Trautman is tough to grade because level of competition. He to me is a Jesse James type player. Will work hard and do what the coaches ask of him. I think he’s a solid #2 worst case scenario maybe develops into a #1.

Evans is the same as Trautman but this late it’s risk vs reward. I think if he can take that giant leap forward he has the skillset to make it in the nfl.

I love Hennessy. Tough smart interior lineman. I think he’d have a good shot taking over for Pouncey after 2021.

Don’t know much about Landrews. Late pick and id day S and ILB are both needs

Lord knows you hate Berry, and I feel the Steelers bring in competition for him this year with priority UDFA. Don’t think they are desperate enough for a draft pick here. It is a 7th so no big deal I just personally would rather see an LB.

[ZonaBurgh]

What I want to know is how did you get Bill Cowher to do a mock draft?

 

[CoolieMan]

If the Steelers draft a punter and it is not Dane Roy, I will ban coach for a month

 

[Drink IRON City]

Ford hit it before I could, I don't see a punter in the 7th whereas you could just sign him UDFA as no one will pick him. Berry does NEED son ligitamit competition and best man wins........ Honestly. Once Jorden go knock the crap out of by being tackled, he went down hill fast.

What draft site did you mock from? Surely you weren’t forced to:

A: Draft a DT in the 2nd when the defense only plays its 3/4 base 25-30 snaps a game? They want an offensive play maker with the first pick. No running back or WR at 49? Again, what site engine were you using?

B: the worst TE draft in 5 years and you waste a 3rd, on a position that has been filled for this year. Typical Coach pick.

C: we already have a speed back (White), they are wanting a back that can be a 2018 Conner all year. LB, DT, S or WR more likely in the 4th & 6th.

D: good pick here, 3rd best C in the draft.

E: with 6 picks this year, there will be no Punter drafted. There will be plenty of UDFA available. Another wasted pick by this GM.

[Steelerfan81]

They won't be drafting a tight end.

 

[Stryker]

Thanks for the work Coach.

I do have to poke some fun at you though for picking a punter for like the 4th year in a row, and each year you say they are much better than Barry. Until we get another coffin kicker, he's not losing his job (Though I can agree to the financial benefit of getting a younger punter).

 

[FordFairLane]

They won't be drafting a tight end.

I wouldn’t say no. Vance and Ebron are easily expendable next year. Third might be high but what if a TE they have a second round grade on is there and he’s head and shoulders better than the next guy on your board. You take him and it doesn’t matter what position

To me there are only 2 draftable TEs.

Kmet
Albert Okwuegbunam

If they don't slot in, we aren't taking one.

 

[Litos]

4th round on I'd agree with the possibility of getting a TE they really like and has fallen there

I really like Kmet but I don't think he will be on their priority list.

Josh Norman a solid NFL corner ran a 4.61 40, carry on captain 40.

Talk about bad information! And how about an apples to apples comparison bozo. I was talking about safeties, and you pull a corner out of your @ss.


I see 4.66, by the way. Where is your source for 4.61?


So you like slow corners to match your wits. Figures.
