I was just answering a question. If we drafted Sherff at #22 I would go best corner in rd 2, maybe even trade up. I assume we will sign a FA OLB, graham, Morgan, re-sign dill-hole Worlds. Let's say Sherff in 1, cb in 2, Mauldin in 3. Not too shabby...right

I've never understood this fascination with moving tackles to guard. The Steelers have struggled to find an OT anywhere left or right. Now that they have one why move him to a position he has never played before? He isn't a mauler and is only a bit over 300 Lbs. He is a better mover than a hitter. Putting him inside takes away every strength he has. His draft bio calls him a mirror and patty cake blocker. That won't work inside. He'd get killed in there.

Fine have Clemmings be the LG if he can't supplant Beachum. I guess with Beachum, Foster, and Adams all being free agents next year I wouldn't mind drafting a lineman early just in case.

I get the argument here, but a position he's never played before? Beachum was the backup for the entire OL before he became the starter at LT. He was drafted as a guard not a tackle, and played every position on the line his rookie year except for RG. He started the preseason as the 2nd teams LG and the third teams LT. He started at RT against Baltimore, he was the one that came in to replace Pouncey when he went down in the first game two years ago.
Za' Darius Smith a bigger rusher likely better vs the run, a notch likely below as a pass rusher but versatile to play both olb and de, The rusher I want is Eli Harold, great burst off the snap, a quicker better uncle Jarvis, has the passion for the game.
it will cost to much to move up for Vic or Ray, we should draft harold or Dupree by next year both are ready to play 65%+ reps as starters, this year he go after Pace, Morgan, Clayborn all on short term deals and Deebo.
Sign a 4-3 DT to replace Cam for the nickel and dime (Branch,Canty Kevin Williams)

Seems Steelers were represented at every pro day on Wednesday except Marshall and Central Arkansas but the report isn't 100% clear on that
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000478381/article/2015-nfl-draft-what-we-learned-from-wednesdays-pro-days
Alabama, Colorado St., Louisville, Central Arkansas, Marshall, Oklahoma, Cincinnati, USC, Wisconsin, and Rutgers had pro days Wednesday.

God help us.
Who knows who these guys are looking at. Munchak was reportedly interested in a guard from WVU. But I would not rule out any position on the line at this time. With tombert at ohio state it is really hard to say what the hell is going on. We could be looking for the next two over drafted under achieving linebackers to grace the roster in this years draft. We might even toss in a wide out or offensive lineman with some drug problems as well. In spite of last years draft looking better than many of late these guys have a lousy track record in the last 5 years.

At Michigan pro day Devin Funchess the 6'4 WR/TE ran an unofficial 4.48. He ran 4.7 at the combine. The 4.48 may not be what the scouts timed him at but he's at least now considered a 4.5 guy instead of 4.7.
He is an interesting prospect with his size. He does drop balls though. He's no blocker so he'd have to be a WR or a F-TE

So he'd remind us of .... Limas Sweed?
that is another memory to bring up
Still better than Danny Farmer...

And Oscar Davenport
Hopefully we get Dupree if not trade a few spots down and take OLB/.DE Harold then trade up in round 2 and take CB Darby or Johnson WKF
Darby reminds me a bit of a young McFadden both 5"11 about 200 4.46 speed, hit hard and play tight coverage, Both Darby and Kevin Johnson have the most starts among'st the 2nd crop CB's, that is why I if I had to choose as much as I want Jalen Collins would rather take [Darby, Johnson @ Carter] over Collins who only has 10 starts and this year would not be able to play much nickel since he is outside CB only and only way he would see the field aside from ST is if Collins came in here and unseat Will Gay.
Next year he could start but would literally no rookie experience.

Am I the only one that thinks a punter will heal our woes?
Might if you get one that can punt 80 yards. While your at it get a kicker that can kick 90 yards and we will be ok.

Not very likely Waynes will still be available at the steelers pick. RB Langford ran one of the fastest 40 times so he will likely be gone too before the steelers are ready to draft a RB.
Tony Lippett WR/CB - this guy could be someone they like. He was mainly a WR but also played CB. Kind of like Richard Sherman coming out of Stanford. Lippett is not real fast so he'd likely be a mediocre WR, but as a CB he'd be a big, physical CB with ball skills. Good for a zone defense. He'd make a great later round pick. Hopefully as the second CB prospect the steelers draft.
Marcus Rush DE/OLB - played DE at MSU but he did LB drills at pro day. Probably his best bet to be a 3-4 OLB.
Interesting that Tomlin would go to the MSU pro day when the big ticket items Waynes and Langford seem unlikely to be available. They would have to trade up for Waynes. And Langford would have to fall to the 3rd or 4th round. I can't see them drafting a RB any higher than that.
Maybe this is a year the steelers move up for Waynes. They have depth. They need impact players. They need to get either a quality pass rush OLB or a real starting CB in the first. They may have to trade up to make that happen.
