Cajun's Mock Draft 2.0

With limited Knowledge Mock 1.0 was only 4 rds. This one will be all 7.

Also using Fanspeak's simulator with CBS as the draft board I hoped to get a more "realistic" draft. I've done maybe 30 so far and today's results I'm publishing.

RD1) William Jackson lll CB ----- Immediately helps ST and by season's end should be starting.
RD2) Austin Johnson DT ---- Much Needed Depth on the DL, immediately
RD3) Miles Killebrew SS ---- Immediately Helps ST, Will Push Golden this year
RD4) Tyler Ervin RB----- I was excited to see him still here. Can start this year but Bell & Williams he might not get many snaps. Either way He'll be the Top RB Backup next year and possibly get snaps this year, guards against injury and should be a STer in the mean time.
RD6) Deiondre' Hall CB----- BPA and @ a Need, beautiful combination
RD7) Nick Richter OT--- Don't know much about him, good size small school guy.... Mike Adams' replacement
RD7) Eric Mac Lain OG-- Again, don't know Much about him, good size, athletic former TE

What say you SteelerNation????

Cajun-

 

Not bad it addresses their needs that's for sure, I never heard of the two guys in the 7th rd.

 

I've only read up on those 2, haven't seen any film on them. I like getting OL late in hopes of finding gems like Beechum since our OL is okay now...

Leaving off OLB & ILB was hard ..... WR is actually a need soon. Wheaton in on his final yr and DHB is Not the answer, Coates is an unknown and Bryant is a ticking time bomb.

I did a mock using drafttek board and 2 of the top 4 QB was at 25..... Hmmm.... Ben has 4-5 yrs left.... He has no viable backups..... Could we do a Greenbay draft when they took Aaron ????

I like this draft but I wish we had an Olb option in the 3rd round but its a draft that definitely fills needs.

 

Like Elvis said it fills some spots of need but

1. I'm still not sold on us taking a CB in the first. On top of our history at doing that I'm not seeing Ramsey fall to us and after him I'm just unimpressed with the other "1st rounders".

2. like what I've read on the guy and we definitely need depth.

3. Killebrew (on top of having an awesome last name) looks like he could be a steal in the 3rd for me. Especially if he improves some of his reads in the passing game. Reading a lot of comps to Bucannon from Arizona.

4. I'm with Elvis on this one as I don't ever see him as a feature back. However as that special teams guys and possible change of pace back I like.

6-7th. I don't know much about any of these guys unfortunately.

 

1) I agree Jackson style fits ours and that he needs to show he can tackle.... Problem is in this simulated draft he was the best left in the first and the skill level left in the 2nd just wasn't going to be there when we drafted. He did have 43 tackles ( 34 solo ) with 5 ints ... 2 TD

3) Miles is a SS/ILB hybrid , he had 132 tackles ( 74 ) solo and in today's NFL he fits...... Here in the 3rd he's a solid pick, immediate STer and will push Golden...... Thing is I really wanted FS Houston-Carson but he was already gone. Agree Miles isn't the best cover guy but he'll make his presence known in the box.....

4) I like Irvin..... That change of pace, receiving back we want need but Dri failed.... Irvin won't .... Agree he's not much of a blocker but when he's in he'll have FB Nix in front of him/ and screens

6) Hall won't be there in the sixth but in this simulator he was so I Stole him... To me he's a FS/CB and makes him useful, can change defensive schemes/ assignments without substitutions..... Also should really help STs.... And since I missed on Houstin-Carson he wasn't getting away

my first 4 rounds

William Jackson III cb
tyves powell s
austin johnson dt
carl nassib de/olb

 

Love that draft.

 

Not a Fan Powell, nice size and hands but bad tackler, Hoilman 2.0- probably won't get draft till at best day two,possibly day three.
I like Nassib alot, real good motor, high upside......if you want him it'll be in the 2nd rd most likely. Love the other two guys.

Cajun-

 

I would take Simmons over Powell. And I'd rather get another CB in the first 4 rounds.

 

If they want to double up and take a CB in the first and fourth, there'd be no argument from me. We need all the talent we can get back there.

 

ok scratch powell from my list ....then...

 

powell is hardly holliman 2.0.

 

I mentioned that before draft a CB rd 1 maybe Apple or Jackson, then draft Cyrus Jones in the 4th he's short but can be a return guy on special teams.

 

There are better safeties than Powell available in the 2nd Karl Joseph, Justin Simmons, Keanu Neal. I like the other 3 picks though.

 

none of them but maybe joseph are ranked near the 2nd round.

 

If you think Jarvis Jones is the answer, then I guess an OLB/ edge rusher is not a top three pick.

 

What rd will Powell be drafted?

Cajun

 

nobody knows.

 

yea elvis i agree about simmons. when i first brought him up i noticed his field awareness. his quickness numbers are on par with any corner and this cat will make some team better. hopefully us. i do still like tj green too as a guy that could be very good. he may need a little coaching in some areas but the tools are there.

 

Well, Tomlin personally had a lengthy talk with WJ3, and with Tomlin's background, he should have a good handle on where WJ3 is at. Apple is more ready now but I just cant see him making it to us. Not a fan of Alexander..too short for me. In a division with A.J. Green and Perriman, I want a #1 cornerback with all the measurable because he's going to need to play some for real man on man coverage's when we see Brady and the like.

 

Do the Steelers move up in the 2nd to take Joseph? It should be interesting at WVU 4-4-2016. Lets see who shows up.
