Okay... time to put up or shut up.

My ultimate wish list for this weekend:

1.22 Randy Gregory, OLB
2.56 Byron Jones, CB
3.87 Lorenzo Maudlin, OLB
4.121 Ibraheim Campbell, FS
5.160 Mark Glowinski, OG
6.199 Cameron Artis-Payne, RB
6.212 Derrick Lott, DE
7.239 Lawrence Gibson or Darryl Baldwin, OT (Either one)

Just getting ANY of these players IN THESE SPOTS would probably make me pretty happy.
 
So if you just got Lawrence Gibson at #7, you'd be happy? You seem easy to please.
 
having a lot of anxiety, good thing I have a turf soccer game tonight previous to the start of the draft
 
There's a lot of risk at the top of your draft, and I tend to doubt Jones is still there at 56.

If they're going to take one of the pot-smoking OLBs, I'd rather it be Ray.
 
I doubt any of them are there... but I can hope.
 
I just want a pass rusher in the first...

Preferably Ray - but, I'll take Gregory if it happens...
 
I already told you my picks


Round 1 (No. 22): Kevin Johnson, CB, Wake Forrest
Round 2 (56): Preston Smith, DT, Miss St.
Round 3 (87) Hau'oli-Kikaha. OLB, Washington
Round 4 (121): Adrian Amos, S, Penn St
Round 5 (160): Kenny Bell, WR, Nebraska
Round 6 (199): Jacorey Shepherd, CB, Kansas
Round 6 (212): Donald Celiscar, S, W. Michigan
Round 7 (239): Tory Slater, DT, West Georgia
 
Rather than pick one (lame, I know) here's my wish list:

1.
Danny Shelton, NT, Washington - Love the presence of a dominant force in the middle. Can play three downs if allowed.
Bud Dupree, OLB, Kentucky - Risky pick, but he's an athlete who can be molded into a dominant pass rusher.
Marcus Peters, CB, Washington - If we are going to draft a cornerback, draft the best.
Owamagbe Odighizuwa, OLB, UCLA - Can he convert to outside? Big, physical who can play the run today and has upside as a pass rusher.
Kevin Johnson, CB, Wake Forest - Not many holes in his game and has a future as a No. 1.

2.
Maxx Williams, TE, Minnesota - Unlikely he falls, but if he does, he will help over the middle of the field.
Alex Carter, CB, Stanford - Good size, but lacks speed. May only be a No. 2, but fits our system.
Preston Smith, Edge, Mississippi St. - If you are going to run a hybrid front, embrace it and get a big edge rusher.
Quinten Rolins, DB, Miami (OH) - Playmaker with little experience, but can become a good player.
Nate Orchard, OLB, Utah - Productive college player and good character.

3.
Senquez Golson, CB, Ole Miss - Undersized playmaker who some think could become very good.
Lorenzo Mauldin, OLB, Louisvile - Good character and potential in the 3-4.
Xavier Cooper, DL, Washington State - Very good defensive line prospect who can rush the quarterback.
Grady Jarrett, DL, Clemson - Need depth on the defensive line and he is great value here.
Sammie Coates, WR, Auburn - Big play receiver with size and speed.

4.
Jeff Heuerman, TE, Ohio State - Like his potential as a receiver and blocker.
Hau'oli Kikaha, OLB, Washington - Good character player who was productive and has a chance to be solid in NFL.
Doran Grant, CB, Ohio State - Steelers' favorite college to add depth to the CB position.
Markus Golden, OLB, Missouri - Probably a round too late, but can't pass up here.

5-7.
Kyle Emanuel, OLB, North Dakota State
Davis Tull, OLB, Tennessee-Chattanooga
Max Garcia, OL, Florida

Yeah, I'm adopting the mindset of being disappointed IF Ray falls to 22 and they pass on him, but I have a feeling that's what they would do.

Considering Ray's talent and the Steelers need on the edge, he'd be well worth the gamble, as, though he made a stupid mistake, his character issues do not seem to be near as severe as Gregory's

I doubt he makes it to 22, though.

Local press putting it bluntly


Steeler draft analysis: There's no excuse for no 1st-round cornerback


"And with the 22nd pick in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers select …"

Roger Goodell will step to the podium at the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University in Chicago at around 10:30 p.m. Thursday to reveal the Steelers' first-round pick.

It better be a cornerback.

However, it could be an edge rusher.

It could be a safety. Possibly.

The Steelers' needs in this draft have been defined for some time, and the people who make those decisions have been forthright about it for the better part of two months

They need a cornerback and probably more than one

(more)

They also need dominant nose tackle to make the 3-4 work...

Shelton is my wish at number 1.
 
Colbert is on TV right now saying you're all wrong and it's a mistake to draft for need.
This is why he's a ******* moron and needs to be fired.
Burgundy's Needy Draft:
1st: Best CB available.
2nd: Best OLB available.
3rd: Best S available.
4th: Best CB available
5th: Best OLB available.
6A: DL
6B: TE
7th: Best S available.
That's all I got.
 
1. Marcus Peters CB
2. Preston Smith OLB
3. Xavier Cooper DE
4. Senquez Golson CB
5. Justin Hardy WR
6a. Max Valles OLB
6b. Karlos Williams RB
7. Quinton Spain G
 
Browns got my guy....and got a very good nose...

Pouncey better start working out now...

Amos in the 2nd? Reach. Mauldin won't be there in the 3rd.

I would say you can flip them but I never expected Dupree to be there which changes my whole draft mindset I drafted three because of the concerns Gregory brought to the table.

Now my focus would turn to multiple CBs but earlier than I planned.
 
There are 4 corners already taken. The cow girls took the guy I wanted for us in the second and if Dupree and Owa were gone I would have wanted him at 22 so we will see what is left at corner when we get to pick 24 in the second round. If there is no corner or safety worth the pick get us another pass rusher if available.
