Steelers Hosting DE Hageman, CB Gaines, TE Blanchflower Today

wouldnt be a bad #2, #5a and 5b group

 

If you can get Hageman in the 2nd and Gaines in the 3rd or 4th that would be good, I have never heard of this TE.

 

He's ranked somewhere between 6 and 10 as far as TE's go. 6'4", about 260. "a solid base-blocking #3 tight end and short area receiving option". (NFL.com)

 

another unmotivated guy the 2nd round?

 

I'm seeing gaines in the 2nd lately. he is a good cover corner with speed and size. it wouldn't surprise me to see him near the end of the first or early 2nd before it's over.

 

I thought so too, more because of his overall game not coverage ability. NFL draftscout has him as the 7th cb with the arrow pointing up. the 6-0 4.38 must go a long way since his pro day. he was slowly moving up though. I see a guy that can shut his man out of a game, but don't expect much more than that at this point. of course that's not a bad thing. great short area numbers too. that's where I'm reading grumblings about gibert. we've seen players picked before that were ranked around that range in the 1st. a couple of weeks ago fuller was ranked as a 2nd, and now he's being considered 1st rd. rated. which I don't have a problem with at all. as you know I'd take him there. as for gaines, I like the kid but I don't think I'd pursue him that early.

 

I think our last 1st rd CB was Woodson. Don't see anything close to him here.

 

to be honest, those guys don't come around every draft.
