2012 Steelers Pre Draft Prospect Visits

akeim hicks is scheduled for a visit i read on steelers depot. he played in canada. he's big and fast. possible NT/DE. 6-5 though. raw. we might as well use this thread for the visit thread if thats ok with TTF.

 

Re: hicks visit scheduled and.......

I like the visit.

 

According to Tomlin this morning the following have already visited...

Mike Adams, OT, Ohio State
T.Y. Hilton, WR/KR, Florida International
Derek Wolfe, DE, Cincinnati

Also said the "Pitt guys"

 

According to Steelersdepot, the Pitt Panthers scheduled to visit are:
Lucas Nix, G
Brandon Lindsey, OLB
Max Gruder, ILB
Chas Alecxih, DT
Greg Williams, OLB
Antwuan Reed, CB
Guess these don't count against the number of pre-draft visits they're allowed

 

And just as an FYI, I went through the list that they had about visits from last year, and only 3 of the 37 people they had on visits were drafted. Two were picked up as UDFA.

 

I'm with you NB.

Adams is a bit of an enigma because he looked so mediocre the whole time he was at school and then dominated the senior bowl. I think there's a much better chance he's a huge bust... and his ceiling is Max Starks-esque to me... Don't see him ever being able to hand speed rushes.

 

There are certain people that I just hope get drafted before we get to pick, just so that some people cant complain when we pass on them. Adams is one of them. Depending on the day, so is Poe.

 

this has to be one of the weakest classes of offensive tackle i can remember. seems like alot of RT's.

 

IMO, its Matt Kalil and everyone else... I wouldn't rate any of the other guys (Martin, Reiff, Adams) as Top 20 guys.[/quote:3llxty5w]
i agree and no true franchise LT's. even kalil could use some work and stregnth. very weak bunch as far as i'm concerned. hopefully that means tons of them next year. raying:

 

i too love wolfe or worthy from msu. they would put ziggy in perspective. i see alot of aaron smith in wolfe's game. that's not a bad thing. cam,chapman and wolfe as our d-line in a couple of years???? oh yea.

 

i like tandy alot. harris is another decent lb. who said this is a weak lb classs? there are alot of good ones.

I agree, I love Wolfe and think he might be there for our 2nd rounder, but I can't see us picking him. Obivously hindsight is 20-20 but man I really wish we'd have grabbed Derrick Sherrod or Aaron Williams in the first last year... Because this draft is stacked with 3-4 DE's. At our pick we're pretty sure to have either Still, Brockers, or Worthy... All of whom would be a great pick... Or like you said Wolfe.

Oh well.

 

According to Ed Bouchette on twitter...

Cincinnati, RB, Isiah Pead visiting today.

 

i'm thinking 3rd if we are going to get him. alot of different guys are going to start weeding themselves out in different rounds now then first thought. silatolu has moved to the bottom of rd.1 in some and brooks has moved to the top of 2 and could reach rd.1 before it's over.

 

FYI...

 

lots of speed.

 

I'd prefer in in the box thumper next to Timmons, rather than another "speedy" LB
