    I heard today on one of the Steelers podcasts that the Steelers will not have an early fourth after all. The pick that Miami traded to Pittsburgh is apparently one that they acquired from Tennessee in a separate trade, therefore it will be later than the Steelers own fourth round pick. Disappointing, if true

    Snell & Whyte I like. I'm just viewing it through Ben's window & what could help him the most. Keep the d solid & a few options on offense to consider with the 2nd round pick.

    As I said in another thread, we need to draft guys that can play. I know that no franchise bats .1000 but it feels like we've drafted a lot of "developmental" guys beyond round two in recent years that don't really develop. We've also made some head scratching picks (Dri Archer and Colin Holba to name a few.)

    I'd love to see us take the best offensive skill player (RB or TE preferable but I wouldn't be opposed to another WR) in round two. I really I don't see us drafting a QB high in this draft. Beyond Burrow (who will languish in Mike Brown's regime), I'm not seeing any franchise QB's.

    Still sounds like a lot. And by the way I agree 100% with the move the Steelers made.

    Minkah was a bargain. First team All Pro for a mid first round pick. Most first rounders never even make a pro bowl!

    Nevermind make a Pro Bowl. Seldom do First Rounders never garner an All Pro nomination and much less a first. For that matter, very seldom do First Round Safeties do within their first three years.

    My initial feeling is that it will be an OL, DL or WR. I would prefer OL myself, specifically a LT candidate, moreso if Finney is re-signed.

    Don't see a TE that would be worthy in the second. I think Hopkins will probably be gone. Arkansas TE Cheyenne O'Grady would be a good pick up in the mid rounds, but he has some major off the field concerns (suspensions, etc). TE from Stanford fits the physical mold they usually look at but I don't know much about him yet.

    Some voter must have gotten mixed up and thought he was voting for his brother who plays for the Bills. So Joe Haden received zero votes and Edmunds got one? That's crazy.

    Other good RBs will be available later in the draft, I'm not sure I would draft one in the second round.
