    Joseph one, Fuller two, Jaylon Smith in three. Hell, grab the corner from ND with the broken leg in the 4th, and we can start our own MASH squad. But honestly, I'd take that draft in a second.

    i think russell the corner from ND is healed. he's shot up to the 3rd round i saw. he may be worth a look. i'd shy far from smith with the nerve damage. he's dropped out of the 3rd to the 5th last i saw though. he may tumble to undrafted i heard too. fuller i would possibly take, but there are a couple of other safeties that would work over joseph that high. tough decision because you never know if these guys will come back in the same form as they had before these injuries. at least we would know what we are getting in the ones uninjured. the others we are taking a chance on former potential. is it that much better than the uninjured guys? i'd have to say no. :cool:

    I had read that there are no real concerns with Fuller. He will supposedly be ready for camp, and fully healed. I suppose there may be some conflicting reports, but there always are. Joseph gives me pause, at least at pick 25, but the guy has so much potential.

    I am really beginning to want Fuller at 25, mac. I think he might be the pick Thursday. I'd like to see something like:

    1. Fuller
    2. Nick Martin (b/c you know I don't like Foster)
    3. Carl Nassib
    4. Justin Simmons or the CB/S from Northern Iowa

    You can forget about them drafting a guard in the 2nd, they just gave Foster a 3 yr contract extension.

    :facepalm: Like another team would take on Pouncey's contract with his injury history.

    yea elvis i did hear that about fuller. joseph i read wouldn't start camp and could probably be ready by mid season. maybe a little earlier, but how well could he play is a big question. we rushed heath back because we needed him and he struggled a little. i don't think he was quite up to speed at that point. joseph only is a 4.57 guy anyway so we may be looking at a 4.65 guy that can't quite cut well yet. big concern for a first or second rounder that we may have to count on. it would almost be a futures pick in essence. sure i'd love to have him but some of these others are just as good and at this point better. thats kind of how i'm looking at it right now. :cool:

    Oh, I know, but I'd like to see Martin here. LG upgrade and quality backup C option as well.

    I believe just my opinion, that the Steelers may move up in the 2nd to get the type of player
    they want. And this will require doing something out of the ordinary. Maybe Pouncey is better than the trading
    partner's player they currently employ and they are trying to improve their talent? Its a moot point as SE informed me
    that the financial obligations don't work. All I am trying to think about is what the Steelers can try to do

    I like it Mac. Steeler fans will really like the quality of football that your first 2 picks play.
    They could be on my team any day. And your 4th pick is really underated sleeper in my opinion.
