This is my guy at #17

Thank goodness!

 

from this draft we need : a rb ,olb ,ilb ,wr ,s, og ,te .
by logic should be the best player available at these spot mixed with the depth at position on this year draft .
so ...
i don't think is a rb since we can find one later and there is no one clear number one
safety is deep so we will we use a second or third
ilb can be if we trade down
og only if there is warmack but we will use a later rounds
te we should use a fifth with stonebacker or lutznkerkinchen
olb can be if there is one we like djon jordan damontre moore
wr if there is allen
if all this player are gone we should trade down and add more picks and draft minter or patton at the end of the first

 

let's try one option mock :
1rd mike minter or ogletree
2rd patton wr
3rd rambo s
4rd j.franklin rb
5rd hugh tornton g
6rd p lutzenkirken or stoneburner or williams (who ever is available) te
7rd quentarious smith olb
if in the process we are able to trade down i would take another s or cb
between the comp pick and undrafted a couple of qbs

 

i love rambo and lutzenkirken. ogletree and minter are solid. i think i read patton had a reallybad week this week at senior bowl

 

thats not bad freak but i think stoneburner could be had with pick 7 or the rd. 7 comp pick we get for gay. i do like that kid from rice mcdonald as a TE, but he would be a 5th or 6th most likely though.

stoneburner however could be that 5th wr as well as the 3rd TE.

of course i like paulson. i think heath takes that kid under his wing. as a matter of fact it seems to me he already has. i think heath will help him get stronger and block better by next year. you can almost see a little bit of heath in the kids game already. let's hope.

as far as your pick in the first, i don't think you could go wrong with either of those two picks. i think both are going to be good pro's. they seem like safe picks. let's face it we can't fix the whole thing in one draft. i could see some of the udfa's after this draft being as good as some of the 5th, 6th or 7th rounders. i expect we will see alot of them in here next season.

 

the more i watch film on mingo, minter, mongomery, the more i see reid making plays. i like elam but this guy can do alot of things well, and even run support. he's a centerfielder that can hit,cover and plays front to back and side to side making plays. he's just a playmaker. i'm not to sure he isn't first round worthy. he's stoudt too when he comes up into the line to support the run. lb'er like stoudt. his 40 at the combine could move him up or down but he has football speed that shows everywhere on film. a guy we would have to consider. he'd just make your whole defense better.

one more guy i've kind of overlooked is kiko alonso. he's active, plays fast and is stoudter then i first thought. he looks quick in diagnosing plays. he's also got some hidden football speed. better then i first thought, that's for sure.

while i'm at it, let me throw one more guy out there. a.j. klien. he's active against the run but also very smart and good in pass coverage. deceptive speed for his size, and not alot of wasted steps in figuring out where to be to make the play.

a few guys we need to really consider.

 

I would rather take Dion Jordan. That guy looks like the next LT, only bigger. Ansah I think needs A LOT of coaching and I'm not sure if the Steelers Staff can do it, honestly.

 

if mingo is there , i'd think we would have to snatch him. he's explosive off the edge but holds his ground well against the big guys.

 

i see one of the fastest guys i've ever seen explode off the snap. granted that's one move, but that one move is hard to keep up with all game long. he's strong too. they don't move him at the point of attack. butler will want to teach him to be a complete LB and most likely ruin him. taking 3 seasons to hit the field another 2-3 to refine his game on the field, while his salary balloons to where we can't afford him anyway because we have paid to much to a select few around him and extended them until they are 60. oops. sorry, i was on a roll there.

 

i have 3 options before the combine at 17 (if we stay put) .
djon jordan
warmack
b.mingo

 

I know it sounds alittle out there but i think philip lutzenkirken could be steal of the draft. as a bama fan i hate to say it but this kid can play. the catches great he can block. he has even run the ball some. a real good player from, and i cant believe i am saying this, auburn

 

Sorry numbah, I've give up on the Ansah bandwagon. He's probably already top 12 now, and after the combine I think he'll be discussed as top 5.

 

roethlisberger to lutzenkirchen ...sounds good

 

dear God that's every letter in the alphabet. LOL

 

Haha, I'm not sure even that would help.

I would love to have him because I think Leabeau could do with Ansah, what he did with Polamalu. Lebeau saw Troy's unique skillset and made him really a hybrid S and LB.

Ziggy is the only guy I've ever seen that I think has the size/speed combo to play either DE or OLB in our 3-4 scheme. He would either be a phenomenally quick and athletic DE, or a very big/strong OLB.

I would play him at OLB just because he'd be an asset in pass coverage, but I could see some scary passing down packages with Ansah at DE with Worilds/Carter lined up behind him at LB.
