Him in a double G-string??? Yikes...yuck!!!

Well, let’s analyze this.

I wear the first one in a regular sort of way. Not bad but needs a little “extra”, thus causing me to put the second one on backwards……….. tends to give a little more support that way.

So, in conclusion………… it does help BOTH sides of the line………………………

OK, didn't get the early CB we probably need but set up the OL for the next decade. Grabbed a freak athlete at NT and Campbell was still sitting there at 120 (will never happen but he was there so I couldn't pass). Even Martin in the 7th could challenge this year or next for our nickel and I still think Daniels is a sleeper WR coached by Deion.

[ianv2012]

Did a PFF no trade back, take best player available at a position of need where the value is there, and I think it's my favorite one

17- Broderick Jones OT Georgia
32- Jack Campbell ILB Iowa
49- Clark Phillips III CB Utah
80- Keeanu Benton DT Wisconsin
120- Jonathan Mingo WR Ole Miss
235- Clayton Tune QB Houston
242- Noah Girndorff TE North Dakota St

 

[madinsomniac]

So far I think the 32 pick should just have that Clemson Ilb written in pen at this point… …we aren’t going to trade down like we should because we are doing that infatuated thing we do at a position of weakness… we will probably be lucky if they don’t draft him at 17 at this point lol

I have a feeling ILBer will be addressed today.

all OTS went early he was only option. but to your point he would be better at guard, but still better at ot than what we have

[SteelerFan448]

Defensive-focused Draft

1.17 Broderick Jones, OT, Georgia
-The Steelers have signed/shown interest in bullies along the offensive line this offseason and Jones fits the bill.

2.32 Mazi Smith, DL, Michigan
-Tomlin met with Smith and he'd beef up the interior of the defensive line. This would help set up the new ILBs for success.

2.49 Trenton Simpson, LB, Clemson
-Tomlin loves athletes at ILB and he was at Clemson's pro day. Simpson fits the bill and would be a rotational ILB to fill the coverage role.

3.80 Kelee Ringo, CB, Georgia
-Ringo seems like a boom/bust prospect. Given the draft board at this point, he was worth the risk.

4.120 Ji'Ayir Brown, S, Penn State
-Box safety in anticipation the Steelers don't sign Edmunds.

7.235 T.J. Bass, OL, Oregon
-Teams can never have enough depth on the offensive line. Will likely kick inside, but may have G/T versatility.

7.242 Brandon Hill, S, Pitt
-More traditional in the safety role, one of the most athletic prospects at the position with the ability to contribute on special teams.

Offensive-focused Draft

1.17 Jordan Addison, WR, USC (Pitt)
-I'm not worried about his 40 time because I'm drafting him for his route running, not speed. Steeler are thin at receiver an need a legitimate third option in the slot. Addison will fill that role year 1 and take over as the No. 2 in 2024 as Pickens moves in as the No. 1 target.

2.32 Dawand Jones, OT, Ohio State
-I think the Steelers want to be physical up front and Jones would take a step in that direction. Absolutely massive, he can be a dominant right tackle if he lives up to his potential.

2.49 Siaki Ika, IDL, Baylor
-A two-down player in the NFL, I'm not worried about his lack of pass rush because the Steelers just signed two downhill LBs. Let them feast by getting a big body in the middle of the defense (I know they don't value this position, but maybe things will change).

3.80 Luke Schoonmaker, TE, Michigan
-Finding another Michigan tight end to replace Gentry. Capable run blocker and probably a better receiver than Gentry. True No. 2 tight end potential will help in both the run and pass game.

4.120 Dorian Williams, LB, Tulane
-Here is your coverage linebacker to join the rotation.

7.235 Nick Hampton, EDGE, Appalachian State
-Small school pass rushing prospect.

7.242 Evan Hull, RB, Northwestern
-Tough to keep a healthy backfield all year, so trying to find a No. 3. Hull has good speed and is a capable receiver out of the backfield.

 

[TDX27]

Like my last mock, OL was an immediate focus. It's tough to pass up on either Jones at these picks. Bookends for the OL for the next decade. Ika, the huge NT plug in the middle we haven't had since Big Snack and have missed. Stevenson is a little late to get a CB but not a bad pick there. Harrison has some interesting physical tools but they will have to figure out how to use him. He is probably too big too be an OLB but he is in the neighborhood of 6'-5", 275 lbs, and 36" arms. If they can coach him up and he has the drive, he could be a force on the D-line.

Thank the gods they ended with the 32nd. So many holes so few draft picks. And I am so glad that I have zero to do with actual draft. Can't imagine the pressure those guys must be under.

17. Anton Harrison LT - a bit of a reach, but if not grabbed now, not sure anything is left at the position.
32. Mazi Smith DL - a beast of a fixture.
49. Jack Campbell LB - still think it's a need and he will fill the bill for years to come.
80. Tucker Kraft TE - just to hear the crowd shout out his name.
120. Darrius Rush CB - one of the bigger corners in the draft.
234. Rashad Torrence S - fills a backup need.
243. Jonathan Mingo WR - hey, it's pick 241.
