Lewan charged

According to ESPN Lewan faces three assault charges...

from an old incident (december). this likely drops his stock though. if he's able to play next year (ie not in jail) id say take him in the 2nd round if he's still there

 

I don't think the Steelers are planning on going OL in the first anyways, but this basically puts the nail in the coffin for Lewan becoming a Steeler. Doesn't break my heart one bit though. I think he is incredibly overrated.

 

Mac, there goes your man.

 

If ever there was a year to justify NOT taking OL in the first round, it's this year, due to the fact that our defense is rapidly falling apart. However, Lewan would be a fantastic pickup and would do wonders for our running game and help shore up the protection for Ben. I'm totally sold on him if we go that route. The guy hasn't been a consensus top-10 pick for two years running because he's a turnstile at OT.

Solidifying the OL is the cheapest way to ensure long-term offensive success. We could actually sign our guys to second and third contracts instead of watching them walk like some of the WR's and CB's.

 

reports are they have been heavily active in checking out lewan and or schofield. multiple visits. drafting a lineman to protect ben and allow your new found RB to preform well has nothing to do with letting the defense suffer in any way or neglecting the defense. we have added a player at every level of the defense so far. Thomas D-line. Moats LB. Mitchell DB.

 

as a buckeye, we don't even have phone lines that go into Michigan nor are we allowed too.

 

mcfaddens still open? they would have to up their security in the bar not just the bathroom

 

they are bens protectors? ey yi yi. hope he's not in the bar with them too. 2 O-linemen,QB,punter and kicker terrorizing a bar? whats this team come to? not one defensive guy, like in the old days. it's a sad day in steeler history.

 

*exhales relief* Those reports had me nervous lol I might be in the minority here, but I don't think it is a bad idea to avoid drafting an OT this year. We have enough young unknowns... If we look to improve the OL next year, we should do so in FA.

 

munch has been at these pro days looking at these top tackles. if he's not interested, I highly doubt he would waste such valuable time being there. I think all options are open in this draft. let's not forget two starters as of now will be free agents at the end of the season, and if this off season is any indication, we can't rely on them signing back here with us at a reduced rate. I hope they have a better plan than just wait and see who's available next year. signing Wallace to 3 years was huge towards some stability of the center position.

 

I also believe all options are OPEN,
When you have teams in front of you
(Oakland Raiders) and others drafting, they can make the draft board change a lot.So this
is why I asked on a different thread just WHO
IS THE BPA@15?
