A good chance Skor gets moved to G where there is no room for him presently. You want your top 3 picks to contribute sooner than later. Got a little lazy with that last pick huh?

I’ve pimped Drew Sanders a lot and MY gut feeling is he will get much better in the PRO line of play. Herr would be very acceptable if 2.49 was used on him.
Definitely not for trading capital and moving up to get Campbell. If Campbell fell to us, then hell yes.

He is very handsy. But that is an issue with almost all college CB's since no 5-yard contact rule in college so players are taught to maintain contact with the WR as that helps get their hands up to knock away passes. Ringo is another guy who is a bit too grabby for NFL play right now.
I think the physically elite CB's can learn to control the grabbing since they realize they don't need to do so as much. Porters is going to be a good CB. Not great, but he is big, fast, physical, can attack the run, run with big WR's and jam a guy like Chase.
if y'all notice ... the Titans pick ripple effects to ours.
in most sims i've done, if they take a LT, we're ******

Using the ESPN Analytics simulator for the first time:
1.17 Darnell Wright, OT, Tennessee
-The top cornerbacks were gone, so the focus went to the top tackle available. Weidl was at Wright's pro day. Not quite Tomlin/Khan, but still an important presence.
2.32 Emmanuel Forbes, CB, Mississippi State
-Without getting a cornerback in the first, got one here with good ball skills. With so many good receivers in the AFCN, trying to find ways to stop the pass. Also, contrary to my believe the Steelers should go heavy on offense to build around Pickett, they've invested so much time scouting defensive prospects.
2.49 Keeanu Benton, DL, Wisconsin
-Mazi Smith has the potential to be a strong run defender. Gervin Dexter is very athletic, but unrefined. Benton seems like the balanced prospect who can be strong against the run and pass. He'll help keep the new ILBs clean while offering something in the pass rush department as he develops.
3.80 Tuli Tuipulotu, EDGE, USC
-Too good of a prospect to pick up. Defenses can never have enough pass rushers and this is a legit prospect behind Watt and Highsmith.
4.120 Garrett Williams, CB, Syracuse
-An ACL injury caused him to fall. I don't care if he needs to redshirt this season, Williams can be a very good defender in the NFL and I'm very comfortable doubling down on this deep cornerback class.
7.241 Carter Warren, OT, Pitt
-I double dipped at tackle two. First, this is good value for Carter and second, I just wasn't familiar with many of the prospects left on the board.
7.251 Brandon Hill, S, Pitt
-Hill was the only name I knew outside of a receiver, who is meh. Hill is at least athletic and offers depth at a position of need.

Im in the same boat about porter… im slightly worried about his handsy play. I think he could be a good CB but he might not be an upgrade on this team and he won’t play slot
I think the first four picks there would ultimately play a long time for usI like this one...

Anton Harrison
OT Oklahoma
- 32.
Darnell Washington
TE Georgia
- 49.
Mazi Smith
DT Michigan

Zacch Pickens
DT South Carolina
I really don’t want wright in the first round for a ton of reasons. You could get a serviceable RT much lower and Wright isn’t a LT at all… he basically is an overhyped third round value… maybe a second if you reaLly needed a RT… and for some reason I’ve never been a fan of Hill from pitt, but that could just be bias on my part… lots of athletic ability i guess… maybe for special teams?
The Titans just paid an ufa ot 10 mil per to play LT… i don’t think they intend to move him to RT and ignore the QB spot. Tannehill is very pricey and his contract voids next year. He will be 36. They will probably take a RT in the second round and a qb in the first.
holy ****, tannehill is turning 36?
maybe 6

They were picked quickly. Jones one pick before Van Ness.

no trenches?
Both picked already. Dawand went to Cinci. Harrison to Chiefs bottom round 1.

Van can be considered trenches. Plus I still have round 3,4, and 7a and 7b to catch up.
I have to look at who is available but thinking about Duncan out of Maryland for the next pick. I see for now Campbell is still available. If he is still there that will be a hard decide.

No way. He is a quick and strong tackle with NFL technique. He can play guard but he is a good tackle and will be drafted to play there.
Yeah a BPA pick with the last pick in the 7th round is a little lazy. I had punter mocked in the past for a 7th round but we signed a good one in free agency recently. Our fat @ssed inconstant punter that we have should be history.
Be sure to play along with the real draft as I state who I would have selected that day after the draft is over, which IMO is often better than the players the Steelers actually take. It features some detail in who I would have taken thread as long as the player was on the board. Few do this.
Signed the lazy Coach. Be sure to pet you fine dog.

Well the Steelers have access to the draft board and trade offers, I do not.
In order for me to call ALL draft picks live I would have to sit on a computer for 12+ hours and post here during the process. Nobody does that.
I don't recall you stating who your would have picked the day after and I add details in my annual draft on who would have selected thread. Why don't you do that? I'm not going to to post all of my real time picks just to impress you. I do so on some picks in round one and two. Last year I said I would have taken ILB Lloyd when the Steelers reached on Pickett in near real time. I also liked Pickens.
My official picks the day after will have to suffice. Judge me there. I hope you can join in.
