Derrick Harmon DT Oregon, future Cam?

56.

Jaxson Dart QB Ole Miss might he be the future? don't know but at least is not a 1st round pick

63.

Jonah Savaiinaea OT Arizona, starting guard and possible tackle all in one, let the hunger games begin and see who's left starting

123.

Cameron Skattebo RB Arizona State, more O power
156.

J.J. Pegues DT Ole Miss, doubling on the DLine
229.

Ja'Corey Brooks WR Louisville, athletic prospect

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

I am fixing DT, RB and hopefully QB with this draft. Added a route runner to offset the big fast outside Wrs and add an athlete at inside O line who has played a lot of games at G, C and T.

No way it falls like that but would love it!

I don’t think they go toward Skat. They could have just kept Najee who is a similar prospect with better hands. I think they want a more explosive back. Or a back with the potential to be more explosive…

I don't want any part of Skattebo. A smaller, slower Najee imo. They need a back that's good in zone blocking, since that's what they are trying to run.

Alexander at 162? No way will he be there.

change him for a CB, what do you think of Watts in the 2nd?

 

[BlitzburghForge]

If they are able to trade down this year, they absolutely need to do that. Here's a mock with the doing just that:

Traded 1.21 with the Bears for 2.36 and 3.70

2.36: Walter Nolan, DE
3.70: Quinshon Judkins, RB
3.83: Joshua Farmer, DE
4.123: Charles Grant, OT
5.156: Trey Wedig, OG
6.185: Hunter Wohler, S
7.229: Nazir Stackhouse, NT

The defensive lines needs so much right now and there isnt much talent left in free agency at dline especially that fits the 3-4.

I expect they will draft at least 2 dline, but won't be surprised at all if they go for three. They need a starter at LE, a capable run stuffing nose, and desperately need depth upgrades and someone that can get experience behind Cam and spell him to keep him fresh.

Note that I only traded down once in this draft, but I'd be thrilled if Omar was aggressive about trading down a couple times and acquiring picks. They could really use them to improve the depth on the team.

Doubled up on the porous Dline. Debated drafting RB sooner but think Howard deserves a look.

Travis is an athletic safeguard at LT.

With Williams and Black that run D gets a needed boost.

Like Neal well enough but there was a run before I took him.

I went heavy offense in this one. Still managed a solid run stuffer for the Dline…

 

[TDX27]

Yeah, I don't see Dart making it out of the 1st and maybe not even to our pick. If he is their guy, I firmly believe they will move up to get him. I sure hope it doesn't cost them their 3rd round pick this year as they desperately need a DL.

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

change him for a CB, what do you think of Watts in the 2nd?

Haven’t studied the safeties much. Not sure that need is all that high. We may need to draft a developmental edge with letting Moon go. Hopefully though aside from possession receiver, DT and RB we just go best available.

I like Henderson but he is too similar to the two we have. I think we go big and fast to offset two shorter guys.

I think Watts can play Nickel CB, box, cover 2 safety a la Branch. He will be your Nickel this year from the first day

Doubled down on two biggest needs DL, QB and added depth everywhere except Corner. I think free agency took care of that. Brought in an edge to replace Moon at the 4th spot.

Pretty good mock! Doubling down on WR assumes Pickens is gone this year I guess?

 

[BLITZ]

With giving up a 2nd for a WR. Unless the guy they live is there at 21, they should 100% trade back

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

No just think we need competition. I tried to trade some late picks for next year's selections but had no luck. I doubt 10 picks make the team.

With this draft not being one of the strongest ones in recent memory just adds to the common sense where trading down in 1 just seems ideal. Of course a great value could always fall to them but that loss of a 2nd hurts them a little with having so many needs…

Hooker isn't a great option. Neither are other names like Joe Milton or drafting Jaxon Dart in the first round. But that's what Pittsburgh is left with. So, maybe they give Detroit a call, offer them a sixth-round pick and try to add the backup quarterback.

a 6th for Hooker could be arguably better than a 1st for Dart.

 

[bigben]

Unpopular opinion but give me Hampton first or Jeanty. Hampton seems like a Steeler RB, we have had great luck with UNC RB, won 2 superbowls with the last one. Stud RB has been missing for way too long. These two look special, have better odds of making it than another reach on a rd 1 QB.
After Najee and Pickett people will not be happy with either in the first but I saw if you're gambling gamble on a stud RB. If we were 1 stud DL away from a great defense I would go DT, but we aren't. A top tier RB could make all the difference, takes alot of pressure off the QB as well. We aren't winning anything this year anyway. Rodgers with one of these guys, Pickens and Metcalf would have a punchers chance to be a high powered offense. Atleast it would be fun to watch. Steelers haven't been fun to watch for the better part of a decade. Offense needs a big spark.
