    Loucheiz Purifoy is my #1 this year...Size, speed....they even are going to play him at WR this year....could not only be a great corner...but a situational 9 route runner to replace Wallace

    CJ Mosley is a great LB to put beside Timmons....He can thump..he can cover...he can do it all

    I do what I can to get these two guys..then just grab OLINE and maybe an athlete or two the rest of the way.

    As much as I think the Steelers need a TRUE #1 WR....there is no Megatron in this draft IMO...and I doubt as bad as they are they are they will be in position to get a top LT.

    Purifoy and Mosley...then just go O the rest of the way.

    I think we'll be picking somewhere in the 8-12 range. I'd think long and hard about making a move to about 5 if Jake Matthews is there. He'd give us a prototype LT, which would let us move Adams to the right side and Gilbert to backup swing tackle.

    With Beachum, Gilbert, maybe Velasco on the bench... Suddenly our OL depth doesn't look so terrible.

    Velasco needs to replace Foster. Foster needs to sit on the bench.

    Can't go wrong with Purifoy or Mosley IMO.

    I am a big fan of Clinton-Dix too. I know we have 2 really good safeties and just drafted another, but Clinton-Dix will be a great NFL player.

    I don't think we will be drafting that high, but Jake Matthews & Sammy Watkins should produce in the NFL.

    the only thing that I don't care for about Matthews is the fact I've mentioned before about adams and gilbert, he doesn't come from a passing pocket qb team. we keep trying to bring in these LT's that come from running qb programs and make them into pass protectors.


    I am still higher on Cameron erving. florida state has a pocket passer and this is erving's 2nd year as the LT. the kid is a junior, so we are getting him young. cbs has him ranked at # 19 overall and we should be able to make that happen. Matthews has played the LT spot for 1 year. erving has shown me a very capable pass protector and a good run blocker all in one tackle. plus, plus.

    I also want travis swanson from Arkansas. he's such a mobile interior player with size, speed and strength. able to play the all important center spot.

    Sorensen from BYU would be my next safety also. he knows where to be and how to play the pass very well. it comes very natural to him on the field.

    I do like ha ha as a corner as someone mentioned. as well as his teammate belue if he comes out which is a good possibility.

    sentral Henderson would also be on my radar as an O-Lineman from Miami.

    kyle van noy I love as an OLB, but we probably wouldn't be around picking when he's available. would love to team him with JJ for the future, like next year.;)

    :cool:

    I'm not gonna any names right now. This is about position.

    TE- We need a beast TE bad. Miller is on the downside of his career. Paulson has good hands and is a good rte runner but a DB can run him over- he can't block my 16 yr old. Spaeth can block but that's about it.

    CB- Ike is winding down his career and Allen seems to struggle staying on the field. We seriously need a shutdown corner who can create TOs--ints

    OL-- LT or LG adams isn't a bad OT but if we draft a solid LT he can move to RT. Foster is reliable and good in the phone booth @ RG but he's just too slow for ZBS or pulling on trap plays.

    I listed three in that order for a reason. If we draft where I think we may, late teens-early 20's TE is the Bet. If we really bomb this season and draft low teens a LT is in order.

    Remember, we traded away our 2014 3rd rd pick. The 1st two picks better count.

    Cajun-

    If we are not looking at two offensive linemen then we have more problems then we think.

    That should be our focus in the first two rounds.

    Might need a NT as well.

    Corner and Safety

    Trade that qb we drafted last year (ridiculous move) for some extra picks.

    Send Sanders for that 3rd (which we should of did last year)

    Watched him play against Utah last night, they were really hyping him up before the game but I did not see him do anything; he did not even look like the 3rd or 4th best player on that defense let alone a future star.
