Brilliant Yet Slightly Craptastic Mock

[tapeANaspirin2it]

I'm just not as into the draft this year as i have been in the past. It's because i have no idea which direction Tomlin will lead the Steelers. Generally, as a watch the college season unfold, i take not of various "Steeler guys" that i see. Right now, i have no idea who is in that category.

I'm really nervous because i suspect the direction is toward finesse and i think that will lead nowhere.

The only picks that make sense to me in RD 1 are Cherilus (or another OT), or trading down.

Anyway, Here's my attempt at predicting the unpredictable


1. Miami - Jake Long
2. St Louis - Glenn Dorsey
3. Atlanta - Matt Ryan
4. Oakland Vernon Gholston
5. Kansas City - Chris Long
6. NY Jets - Darren McFadden
7. New Orleans - trade with NE - Sedrick Ellis
8. Baltimore - Ryan Clady
9. Cincinnati - Keith Rivers
10. Philadelphia - trade with NE - Devin Thomas
11. Buffalo - Antoine Cason
12. Denver - Branden Albert
13. Carolina - Derrick Harvey
14 Chicago - Jeff Otah
15. Detroit - Chris Williams
16. Arizona - Rashard Mendenhall
17. Kansas City - Dominic Rodgers Cromartie
18. Houston - Leodis McKelvin
19. New England - Jerod Mayo
20. Tampa Bay - DeSean Jackson
21. Washington - Philip Merling
22. Dallas - Felix Jones
23. Pittsburgh - Gosder Cherilus
24. Tennessee - Limas Sweed
25. Seattle - Dustin Keller
26. Jacksonville - Kentwan Balmer
27. San Diego - Dan Connor
28. Dallas - Brandon Flowers
29. San Francisco - Kenny Phillips
30. Green Bay - Mike Jenkins
31. NY Giants - Aqib Talib

Take out Keller and Balmer and I would rather have any of the guys picked after us over Cherilus.

I could see the steelers taking Dan Connor to play ILB, but i'm not sold that the steelers are sticking with the 3-4.
