    I'll probably get ripped for saying this but if Teo is available for us in the 2nd round, I would love to see him in black and gold. Our run defense is not what it used to be. I think with Jones and Teo, we can get that defense back. I realize that we have needs in WR and RB, but Teo is hard to pass up.

    I would agree with you. The guy is a leader. I never saw him as a 1st round talent, so I'm not surprised he isn't off the board yet. However, at #48, he is good value and fits, what I perceive as a need. I'm not sure the Steelers FO sees it is big of a need as WR, RB & S though.

    If he falls that far I would have no problem with it and it worked out pretty good the last time we went lber 1&2. Skill position players like wrs and rbs can easily be found in later rounds. Yes we need a safety but we do have cromartie-smith and golden as back ups. I honestly would be fine with them go safety in the third round. Lattimore and bell should be there in the 4th though I think they go qb in the 4th and try to sign Bradshaw or put the load on dwyers shoulders and see what the kid is made of. Like Colbert said this draft didn't have many super stars in it but the later rounds are full of talent.

    I would rather have Arthur Brown, but I would be okay with Minter or T'eo.

    I wouldn't be against it either...depending who all is available. While some dont like him...I think pairing him with Timmons would be good. Timmons can cover (and defend against the run/blitz)...T'eo solid against the run (and could improve his coverage skills who knows).

    Teo is decent in zone coverage he did have 7 picks

    I think they will go WR or RB this round but who knows, I'd be happy with T'eo though. There were several choices I coveted in rd one who I would have been happy with, Vaccaro fell just short, Eifert (whom I wanted most) and Jones, I'm hoping rd two follows similar suit, for me that's Hunter, Bell or T'eo.

    I agree. I would be willing to trade up a few spots (5th round pick maybe) to get either Brown or Cyprien

    Te'o would be a very good value pick at #48. He may never be a star, but I think he has a pretty high floor. He should be a 10 year starter and make a few pro bowls.

    I'd take him.

    He's a football player in the end, his bad game was against an O-line that'll have 3 top 50 picks. He has a fake girlfriend. He's going to be quality for someone.

    there are good players with more or less same value in this round , more than a name we should consider wich position is more important

    Thank goodness the Steelers steered away. Or didn't even entertain this head case.

    Coach: T'eo what were you thinking? Why didnt you make the play?

    T'eo: I made the play Coach. Didn't you see it?

    Coach: Oh crap, did you imagine that to?
