So who do we take in the draft?

Now that our season is officially over (well, almost), I very much look forward to talking amongst the fellow gurus on what I am sure will be some very heated debates!

There are really only 2 players I am looking at in terms of offensive skilled positions (QB/RB/WR/TE) that I would want the Steelers to draft. Tyler Eifert TE (Notre Dame) and Marcus Lattimore RB (South Carolina). We all know Lattimore's situation, but if he fell far enough, and he does recover from his injury (Like McGahee) I would certainly give him a shot.

I haven't narrowed it down to anyone just yet, but I also believe we have to grab a QB in the mid rounds. Batch is 38 and Byron can't stay healthy. We need a young dependable backup.

Defense, Defense, Defense. There is a strong chance we could lose Keenan Lewis to FA. Chances are also high his buddy Mike Wallace will be gone too, leaving the door open for Lewis to bolt.

- David Amerson, CB, 6'2 195 (NC State) - 18 career INTs. Go Get him! Not fast enough? Richard Sherman (6'3 195) ran 4.54, how is he doing?

- I have a list of 5 safeties (Reid, Lester, Rambo, S. Williams, Elam). Please, go get 1 of them!

 

Rounds 2-3. Wisconsin is my team, but I am leary of taking Ball. Wisconsin RBs just have not panned out. (Dayne, PJ Hill, Clay). They certainly benefit from scheme and fantastic O-line play. I don't think Ball is that much of an improvement over Dwyer.
