Steelers Mock Draft: Post Combine

We saw the offense get shut down as well.

 

You showing love for my Gamecocks! Emmanwori and Rocket Sanders!

 

hope all is alright with your area AQL.

 

Damn....


Internet is finally back!!


Tomorrow!!

 

It is thankfully!


That said, some structural damage around the area. Namely in the form of powerlines and internet. Didn't have that for a while.

 

When we select at 21, Emmanwori may be the bpa on our big board. I would love to draft him there.
He would play box Safety/NB for us and just patrol the middle. Whether he lined up at Ss or ILB, he's a defensive weapon all over. Versatile player.
Following the' dinners', Mykal Williams is the only 1st round prospect to have dinner with Tomlin so far. Williams is also a defender you can deploy from everywhere. He is also someone to use to patrol the middle.
Plus.... both Emmanwori and Williams are known for their tackling prowess.

Sanders is considered the best receiving RB in this class by several scout sites. I know that is something Smith and Tomlin both want.

 

Y

You got a ticket on the Titanic too!! What tune are we going to ask the band to play

 

What's the deal with Rocket? How much speed has he lost? He still a breakaway threat? Would love to see him in black & gold if he still has it, even if limited a bit.

 

Luck Be A Lady Tonight

 

One of my mocks. Id be okay with this draft.

21 Derrick Harmon
83 Jayden Higgins
123 Ollie Gordon III
154 Tyler Shough (Dylan Sampson)
184 Upton Stout
229 Yahya Black


I think the simulators are underestimating the rise of Tyler Shough who i think will be a late 2nd to mid 3rd rounder. So i had a second option in Dylan Sampson who was also available at 154. He is also my absolute favorite mis round RB.

Jeatny, Judkins, Hampton and Sampson as my rip 4. Not that vig of a Gordon fan, but it seems the Steelers are so I picked him at 123.


I'll be okay with this draft

 

Mock Draft should be out by this upcoming Saturday!!

 

The simulators can only do so well. There's always going to be guys severely over and under valued. Makes it kinda hard for me to want to participate in it lol

 

Teams have so much more information about players than even the best simulators can have. Two cases in point from the last two years: Payton Wilson and Darnell Washington, two players many had in the early 2nd round falling to the end of the third. It wasn't until they started to fall during the drafts that reports of medical problems started surfacing.

 

I agree with you in part. If we needed a TE then that PSU TE would be higher on our wish list. But that is what fans do.


We don't NEED another OT as far as we know. But if we get to 21 and the highest rated player on our board is an OT, you take him. Why? Because injuries happen. I'm still not confident we've replaced Shazier.


We have Watt, Highsmith, and Herbig at OLB. Not a need. If the highest rated player on our board is a pass rushing monster, get him. BPA.


QB is a different thing altogether though. You will reach at QB. You usually must reach for QB. Ben was a reach. We had other guys higher on our board. But if the QB works out, he ceases to be a reach. Like Ben did. No QB comes into the league without warts.

 

What do you mean he lost speed? He is a durable back, hard runner, good out the backfield.

 

I thought it was reported he had a knee injury that took some of his speed.

 

And my 1st round philosophy is you take the best player available. If he's a QB, protects the QB, or gets after the QB, he is a valid option in the 1st.
