Post your final mock drafts here! Draft starts April 30th, ends May 2, 2015.
As a draft junkie I must say this is not an easy draft to call. The board just doesn't seem to fall right for us in rounds one or two at positions of need, but then again thanks to a lot of guys having questionable character it might! One thing is for certain, the defense needs to improve its pass rush, coverage ability and playmaking. So that is my theme.
1 ) OLB Gregory. I trust my eyes, and if he's there they are smiling. He's a great pass rusher and we badly need one! Gregory was blown away with our SB trophy display. I think he wants to be a Steeler and was born to play in our 3-4 system.
2 ) CB Peters. I like him as a #2 CB in a cover two system. Great ball skills. A boom or bust type of pick.
3 ) CB Olomu. Excellent coverage ability. Could be a star slot CB. A bit of a risk due to a knee injury that prevented him from working out. I like him Olomu enough to pick him in round two. High character type.
4 ) OLB Z. Smith. Stood out as a pass rusher in the east-west game and senior bowl. Did well on the 1 on 1 drills. A bit of a 'tweener between OLB and 4-3 DE, he's strong and has a good motor. Reminds me a bit of a focused and in shape Woodley.
5 ) FS Shaw. I like his size, coverage ability and speed. Our safeties are hurting. Played at a good school for DB's.
6 ) TE O'Shaughnessy. A 6'4" speedy TE with a basketball background ( good leaper ), he seems like a sleeper. Impressive production!
6B Comp pick OT/G Donal. Depth is needed. He can play multiple spots. Possible replacement if Foster leaves in free agency.
7 ) RB K Williams - Bell wore down at the end of the season, then got hurt. He starts the season with a 3 game suspension. Deangelo Wiliams was a solid pick up in free agency, but he's been the since 2006 and is 32 year old.
