Pre-Combine Steelers Rd 1 Big Board

Below is a list of possible Targets for our 1st rd pick- Players will move up and down and the combine will help sort them out. We aren't privy to the interviews and background checks but this should help when trying to formulate a full 7 rd mock. No QBs and RBs here.

Justin Gilbert CB Ok. St.
Darqueze Dennard CB Mich. St.
Jason Verrett CB TCU
CJ Mosley ILB ALA
Ra-Shede Hageman 3-4DE Minn
Louis Nix NT N.D.
Ha-Ha Clinton Dix FS Ala.
Eric Ebron TE UNC
Kony Ealy 4/3DE-3/4 OLB Missouri
Cyrus Kouomdjio LOT Ala.
Mike Evans WR Texas A&M
Marqise Lee WR USC

If we Trade Back here's a few Prospects That could be available if all the above are gone:
Jace Amaro TE Texas Tech
Austin Seferian-Jenkins TE Wash.
Allen Robinson WR PSU
Stephon Tuitt 3-4DE N.D.
Dee Ford OLB Auburn= Don't like him in the 1st at all.

Edit: Add Taylor Lewan OT if we trade back.

I left out top ten guys like Mack & Barr and Mathews & Robinson. I also feel only one ILB and One S fit a 1st rd grade here at # 15.

Comments welcomed and this is a open source type of list. Help me finalize a realistic 1st pick. If my rankings are off say so or if players have been omitted say so.

Cajun-

 

you forgot van noy too.

 

Missed Lewan-thanks. I have Verrett in my top 4 CB and with CB being a premium position he's in rd 1. A bit short so what you think about switching him and Roby? Martin is a solid rd 2 OG. Yankey is the only OG with a 1st rd grade but I left him off the list because I don't think OG is a target in this draft, unless its a BPA by a mile.

Cajun-

 

only if he's not busy on the first day of the draft I might consider it, but he should be hitting the stage at about.................. pick 15 to the steelers. then it's prom on baby.

 

No way would I draft Jason Verett in the first round he's too small around 5'10 175 lbs, not interested in Cyrus Koundijo he's overrated and slow he can't handle speed rushers.

 

to m e our first round pick will be in order of av..

mike ewans ,
ha clinton dix
dennard
marquise lee


if we trade down
c. prior
van noy
sefarian jenkins

 

Not to start a riot, but is Dix really the best safety in this draft?

Don't get me wrong he is really good, very strong reliable tackler with long arms, Calvin Pryor and Terrence Brooks have some other qualities that make them seem even more impressive to me. Not a fan of the Stanford Safety.

Man I saw some Van Noy highlights....He looks amazing, but isn't he a little older though? His upside might be already maxed out. If that is not the case, then wow, I'm impressed....

 

me too i'm thorn if i have to tell you i prefer pryor but seems dix is more ready , brooks is smaller and have upside to be in the same category , the combine will be interesting. i'm not sure brooks will be available at our 3rd rd comp pick , for that i'm all for trading down in the first and have a third more

 

I am liking it Cajun, DB's and LB's
it is a MUST.
