Just interested in everyones man crush for the Steelers.

My #1 man crush is Antoine Winfield Jr. Personally I think he is gone way before #49 despite what mocks say.

I like Taylor, Swift, CEH, Dobbins and Akers at 49. Moss and Dillon later. Love Antonio Gibson in the 3rd as well. Sewo Olonilua later would be nice.

At #49 I love Reagor or Higgins in the WR group. Wouldn’t be unhappy with Claypool or Pittman, hopefully they’re there in the third. Like Jefferson, Gandy-Golden, Johnson later.

Have only really looked at skill guys and no expert just YouTube highlights and such. Couple of other guys i like for us are ILB Malik Harrison and S Julian Blackmon.


Having said all that if I were to guess the pick at 49 I’m going RB Cam Akers Florida State
 
Dobbins/Edwards(CEH)/Pittman/Reagor/ be ok with a G or C depending on who is sitting there.(Like Ruiz who would jump to the front of my list, I just don't expect him to be there.)

Taylor Swift isn't #1 material but I don't think she will slip to 49 either. I'd have to pick a young Christina APPLEGATE at #49 as I grew up with her.


Josh Jones for some reason I just like the guy.

I'm starting lean toward hoping for a top RB, they seem to be able to step right in and produce right away at the NFL level, I like Conner but he just can't stay healthy, Snell is a solid back up, but if we are going all in and want to win right now, RB probably gives us the most immediate impact.
 
I'd like Malik Harrison - just to be greedy.

Our defense was damned good last year, and that has a lot to do with the speed and youth we injected with Fitz and Bush. Barron was not what we hoped ... though imagine how good we'd be with a guy like Harrison playing next to Bush.

if we can snag Harrison, I'd be running to the podium in the 3rd to take Antonio Gibson.
 
BPA........ following these areas of need
OG/C ...If Cesar Ruiz is there or Cushenberry I think that will be our play in that order... there will be an early run on OT so I am not sure the value will be there at 2.49 for that position
RB -- only a true 3 down back that would step into the #1 spot on our roster depth chart
WR.... it would have to be a round 1 talent guy that fell to us..... give me something with speed/size or I am waiting until the later rounds...... please no smurfs at 2.49

all other positions come into play after the 2nd round pick

Taylor Swift is a value pick at 69...........SMH.....where the hell do you get your draft measurables info from DIC ?
 
id definitely pick swift much higher. I think she is cute and quirky
 
I also think we're going to have/want to rely on the running game more to try to save Ben's arm as much as we can.
 
I've been pimping J K Dobbins since the beginning so I'm sticking with him if he is there. I firmly believe they want to run the ball much more than in past years and I think thats why thy went out and signed FB Derek Watt and spent over 9 million. Also, Ben a 38 I believe they want to not have him throwing the ball 40 to 50 times a game. If Dobbins not there then I think Jonathan Taylor the Wisconsin RB. If neither are there I think they may turn their guns toward the LSU RB Edwards - Helaire who I think will be there.

The third round pick I either trade for additional pick if its attractive or I take the best WR from a deep draft. Plenty of quality WR's and we do that well for some reason so thats my first two picks.

BPA of course. But if the differences are marginal, I would definitely lean toward OL. Better blocking helps every phase of the offense, and this line is old with little proven depth.
 
They like their skill positions so if they have a 1st round grade on someone and they slide, that will be the pick. I do like Ruiz or Cushenberry as rebuilding the o-line is critical no matter who our QB is. 2nd to the o-line, if one of the top OL are there, I would go with a 3 down back that slid. A top 3 down back also makes the job easier for any QB. This year is a tough call but I definitely think our 1st pick is O and 2 of the first 3 picks are O.
 
I predict the Steelers will not pick at #49. Look for a trade, possibly with Minnesota or New England.
 
For me it's the top center in the draft. If we can get him at pick 49, I'm all for it. If not, a tall/fast WR is my second choice. More weapons for Ben.

Tackle would be the next position I'd consider, but not much after that outside of a moneybacker. I'm not targeting RBs this season.

The best projection would be to Swift-ly pick her up at 77. You get 8/ate more. That would be Taylor made for complete satisfaction.

3a RB Moss
3B OG Jackson

I go by FEEL mostly and all overly. Allthough your grade on Taylor is what most think, it's her A.R.F. Position that she is the best.
