~ OFFICIAL 2014 TSF.COM FANTASY DRAFT STEELERS VOTING & DISCUSSION ~

As much as i lean towards WR...I think I'll go with Tuitt here too.

 

I would just be extremely worried about our passing offense for 2014 in this scenario. Pittsburgh is not picking again for awhile, either. I couldn't imagine not replacing 16 TD's (Cotchery/Sanders) you just lost in the offseason....and not sure that Lance Moore is the answer...

And again, I like Tuitt.....alot....I actually like him better than Dennard, and he possibly is the BPA at this pick.....but i just think there's too big a need for getting offensive weapons for Ben, who really probably only has 3-4 years left...get weapons and win now, I say.

The offense made such great strides last year, i want to see it continue.

 

Tuitt

 

At midnight voting will be closed...and the next team will be on the clock at 6am tomorrow.

 

I know it's a throwaway vote, but my vote goes to who I think offers the best chance at being a 10-year starter for us:

Xavier Sua-Filo, OG, UCLA

 

Winner with 11 votes Stephon Tuitt, DE, Notre Dame

 

Tuitt is a good player here and has value. I was targeting OLB Bradford because he has a high nonstop motor. I also felt OLB was a bigger need than DE and was targeting Josh Mauro or Kelcy Quarles in the 3rd.

Cajun-

 

I thought I was the only one considering him. He'd likely take over for Foster permanently next season, and considering all the injuries we get, he probably would play as a rookie too. And he'd be awesome. I just felt like our other needs were too big to ignore, especially since we'll have to wait 51 picks before we get to fill another hole.

 

Oh yeah, for sure. DE is much more of a need than OG, and grabbing Tuitt in the 2nd in the real draft would be great. I just based my vote on our overall lack of talent on our roster. I don't think we're a starting DE away from seriously contending for the Lombardi, so load up on top talent when the opportunity is there. If Tuitt and Filo were equal talents, I take the DE 10 times out of 10 this year.

 

They're only a couple of picks away from their Round 3 comp pick.

Remembering that in this draft Blount isn't on the team yet, I'd like to vote a little early and go with Ka'Deem Carey.

 

If we are starting this vote now in order mine would be for

1) Trevor Reilly OLB Utah
2) Victor Hampton CB South Carolina

 

I'll throw out Brandon Coleman, 6' 5" WR from Rutgers.

 

I was torn between WR (Brandon Coleman) and OLB (Marcus Smith - Louisville). I think we can find a WR in round 4 easier than a pass rusher - I will vote for Marcus Smith.

 

I have an eye on a pass rusher for us in a later rd....I'm really on the fence on brandon coleman , but feel that we could get him in the 4th......my vote is going for

Tennessee OT JaWuan James

I think this guy would be a major upgrade at rt and would be a fixture for the next decade

 

Carl Bradford... Arizona State..... OLB

The Steelers has added a CB and DE and OLB is a big need. We have no depth and Carl is an explosive edge rusher who also has the ability to move inside if needed as he has done this before. He is also the BPA.

WR is a Luxury in this RD and wouldn't provide the Value to justify a pick here.

Cajun-

 

Josh Huff WR Oregon.

He could possiby be the #3 right away, and we'll just hope that Wheaton steps up big in his 2nd year.

 

Wow...this round we have a WIDE range of votes so far.

The only 2 names with more than one vote (and we have 7 names voted for so far)...are Marcus Smith OLB and Brandon Coleman WR.

 

I was debating these two, Marcus & Carl. Marcus has the ideal size but Carl has more of a non-stop motor and better technique. Marcus is new to the OLB position just like Barr but he has transitioned well. Carl is more explosive but Marcus is a bit better in coverage.

I went with Carl due to his motor, technique and versatility but honestly if we ended up with Marcus I wouldn't be sad.
