Assuming Ben comes back and plays well

Tight end
Rb
Wr
 
The Steelers top needs are supposedly very deep in the draft: guard, tackle, running back, wide receiver.

My top priority is right tackle in the second and left guard in the third. I think both are plug and play positions with guys who can perform at high levels early on. However, if a guy like Dobbins or Etienne or one of the top speed receivers is sitting there, I probably bite and take the playmaker.
 
C'mon man. You know they dont have a first round pick. They drafted Fitzpatrick and I'm cool with that now. But ****** really?

That OL isn't looking so hot anymore.

I agree, our two pro-bowl linemen will both be 30 in a few weeks.

O-line and TE are big needs for us.

This team needs a lot. TE, OL, RB, OLB, DT, another ILB.

Head Coach, Offensive coordinator, RB, and TE are the main needs. The Steelers can get a new head coach and OC anytime the Steelers choose.

I'm for a running back in round two, and we should be able to get a good one. TE is a need.
 
My worry is center as well. Pouncey might have regressed more than anyone on this team.
 
I think you have to draft heavy for the OL. To me, that was the biggest weakness this season.
 
O- Line might, and mean might, be ok with Ben back for a year. I really believe a lot of the lines issues were a total lack of Mason or Hodges to read the defense and adjust the protection and play at the line. With Ben back, healthy, making the right adjustments at the line and getting out of Randy's bad calls they might return to form. I am also thinking Finney is capable at center if Pouncey were to be out. That leaves us needing a new backup/ starter at guard. I wold not shy away from them if available but we could maybe take a risk on a few later choices. I hate wasting a pick n TE if we won't use him properly but it would be good. I am not as down on our RB corp if we start Snell and use Conner sporadically as the change of pace.
 
rnd 2 TE big can get seperation andbe a vertical threat.
rnd 3 OT someone to push chukes as i think the plan was hawkins long term rt and chukes lt.
rnd 4 WR nico collins.
rnd 5 C some one to groom for pouncey
rnd 6 P enough of berry
rnd 7 bpa

some names wr in the 3rd nico Collins has all the attributes to be the bryant without the weed problems 6"4 210 runs a sub 4.3
we have darwin gray converted OT to OG cut foster replace with finney chukes oush villinueva to fight for lt job. re sign Fieiler and vannet cheap deal. bring cut chick let hargrave lock up dupree and bring a hampton type nt A'shawn Robinson justin ellis. gap pluggers
 
nothing wrong with the conversation, but truly way too early. Gotta get through FA first and see where the chips fall.
 
We need a #1 WR, a #1 RB for sure, Steelers dont know how to use a TE so that comes much later

A true NT would be nice, dey soff up yhe middle

This is not a good Tight End Class. We need a primary running back. Can't rely on Conner at all. A guy with speed, who can also catch the ball. I like Clemson's back. And the guy from Wisconsin.

I think the Steeler will bank on Ju-ju playing better and Ben making the receivers better. No pick on a WR.
 
We're going heavy O'line and I'll make a prediction, 2 of the 5 current starters on the O'line will be replaced by either drafted players, FA's or young linemen on the current roster.

You mean Etienne? He is very, very good, he won't make it to our first pick

Feiler will be moved to LG where his abilities are better used. Finney to C and Chucks will get a chance to play RT, fighting the spot with Banner
