do they have any idea about the steelers? how many new O-Linemen do they think we need?

 

yeah that one was rough. I honestly don't think we can draft an OL until we've added 2 new WR's (either by FA or by draft). Until 2 new WR's are had, OL shouldn't even be a thought.

I wouldn't hate Chambliss in the second, but we don't need a 3rd round TE in there either lol There's a some DB help in there, which we need... but idk. I kinda hate everything about this one.

 

I joined this site recently but have been reading on here since the early days. There are many people on here I trust for draft info way before any of these mock drafts. Except for very few on tv and Internet who do serious research, most of these mock drafts read like some 18 year old in their parents basement. Sometimes I'll read the Internet mocks just for the humor.

 

Exactly. And at this time of year mocks are pointless.
Not every eligible college prospect has declared for the draft that will.
Teams typically build through FA and trades before entering the draft.
Current team 'needs' vs BPA will changea half dozen times or more before the draft even gets here.
These mocks are for amusement purposes only.

 

Let's just look at the starters:

CB: Porter, Trice, Echols - I am okay with this. Depth is needed.
S: Ramsey, Elliot - This is okay. Depth is needed
LB: Queen, Wilson, Harrison, Bruener - Only Queen can stay. Need 1 starter and 1 depth.
DL: Hayward, Harmon, Benton, Lee, Black, - Hayward and Harmon only. The rest need upgrade. Need 1 more rotational starter.
EDGE: Watt, Highsmith, Herbig, Sawyer. Only Watt is the starter. Need 1 more starter. (What is happening with KJ Henry?)
OC: Frazier - Not good enough but fine for now. Depth is needed.
OG: McCormick, move Fautanu to RG. This is fine. Depth is needed.
LT: Cook is fine for now with Thompson as backup. Could acquire a left tackle in the draft.
RT: Jones, Nester. This is fine for now. Need depth.
TE: Freiermuth, Washington, Smith. This is fine for now.
RB: Warren, Johnson. Need 1 more starting caliber back.
WR: Metcalf, Wilson. Need 2 more starting WRs.

By the numbers, the highest priority needs are:
1. WRs (Draft: Denzel Boston, Josh Cameron)
2. LBs (Draft: Jaishawn Barhan, Keyshaun Elliot)
3. EDGE (Draft: Marvin Jones Jr)
4. DL (Draft: Rayshaun Benny)
5. RB (Draft: Jonah Coleman)

Then for depth:
1. CB for injuries (Draft: Daylene Everette, Ephesian Prysock)
2. S for injuries (Draft: Xavier Scott)
3. LT to start (Draft: Demtrious Crownover)
4. RT to start
5. OG (Draft: Micah Morris)
6. TE
7. OC

DRAFT
1. Denzel Boston WR. (BPA + Need)
2. Jaishawn Barham, LB (BPA + Need)
3. Jonah Coleman RB (BPA + depth)
4. Daylen Everette CB (BPA + depth)
5. Xavier Scott S (BPA + depth)
6. Rayshaun Benny DT (BPA + need)
7. Josh Cameron WR (BPA + need)
8. Marvin Jones EDGE (need)
9. Keyshaun Elliott LB (BPA + need)
10. Demetrious Crownover OT (BPA + depth)
11. Micah Morris OG (BPA + depth)
12. Ephesian Prysock CB (depth)

I think this group could become good with a good coach and a new guard. I don't think we need 4 rookies though.

 

We couldn't be farther apart on our roster analysis...

CB: Pierre made unexpected strides and deserves to be back......
Trice can't be counted on ... if the wind blows to hard, he'll be on ir... we need to draft another and try to re-sign Samuel

S: Ramsey and Elliott need to be replaced....
One is too old and the other is too injury prone...... absolutely need to draft one or 2 and sign one or 2 F.A.

ILB: Queen is the one that has to go, and Bruener is special teams only ...

D-line: Harmon, Benton and Black are a great lineup (especially with the right coaching)... this is probably Heyward's last season upcoming and yes, we need to draft more to have a viable rotation

OLB: I don't know what your thinking is here

C: There's absolutely nothing wrong with Frazier and Ryan McCollum represents great depth.... this area is settled

OG: Seumalo absolutely needs to be replaced.... McCormick is fine on either side (left preferably), with a draft pick

OT: Fautanu isn't moving anywhere..... you're ready to move or replace someone after 1 season with no chance at development???
Glad you're not the coach or GM...
And yes.... quality depth is needed (one of the few items we agree on here)

TE: Smith is probably gone, otherwise we're in agreement

RB: again, we're in agreement, but i wouldn't be mad if we re-sign Gainwell

WR: also in agreement, but i wouldn't write off Austin in the rotation

 

So............


Francis Mauigoa isn't falling that far. That alone is what makes this mock silly. Blake Miller is basically the same thing; him going within the Top 50 more than likely as Offensive Lineman who are both as experienced and as young as he is don't last very long. Trinidad I have said my peace and will not do so again while Pittsburgh waiting until the fifth to draft a WR is simply Roster Building Malpractice unless the team went all out in FA to acquire the likes of Doubs, Shaheed and others.

 

I'm never going to complain about another OL or DL. Considering this may very well be Jones' last year on the team, along with replacing Seumalo, and needing to upgrade at DT and probably having to replace Cam probably after this season, I think you have to grab at least one of each with those top 5 picks. You also need a WR and maybe a safety. Maybe a QB as well.
