Gery Dulac says Steelers intend to take tall WR early

I'd rather have ben and a good offensive line over a decent one. then we have something.

 

No, I didn't miss the point. I totally get it. We don't have to have "standout WRs cause we have a franchise QB". So you don't think having a stud WR makes a franchise QB better? You don't think Brady would LOVE to have a #1 receiver?

Here is my point....in order to win the SB you need a top 10 offense AND a top defense. Seattle's scoring offense tied for 8th. Seattle's defense....#1. Our scoring offense was tied for 16th.

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't know enough about Wheaton, J. Brown, and Moye to trust them going into the season. Cotchery is nothing more than a #3. My point is that adding a special WR talent to our group, could make the difference in that group being top 10 and being middle of the pack again. I am not saying that you draft a WR as a tunnel vision pick where Evans, Watkins, and Lee are all off the board, but you take the next guy anyway, I am suggesting you look for talent at that position which you just can't pass up. I would be okay with Evans, Watkins, and Lee in the first and I would be okay with Matthews, Robinson, and Benjamin in round #2.

After that one pick on offense, I would have no problem using our other 7 picks on nothing but defense. Improve our depth. Improve the competition. Improve our long-term abilities. Improve our chances to have the #1 D again. That being said, I think a top 10 O this coming year gets us in the playoffs, but when that D improves and is top 5 again WITH our offense (which was the youngest in the league, but I still feel is missing one part) we will be in the Super Bowl again. Fix what you can when you can and if a WR I like is there for the taking in the top 2 rounds, a big receiver which Ben likes...I take him.
