Trading Partners?

Although the Steelers do not usually do these type of deals
(Troy P). I think it is imperative that we explore possibities for Decastro.
He is an Alan Faneca type player, that would fill a BIG need. Lets face it
our OL is terrible besides Pouncey. We neeed to shore this up.

 

how far up do we have to trade to get him?

 

I've seen him going as high as 11th to KC I think. It would take a good bit to go up that high as discussed in other threads.

 

Pouncey, Gilbert and Colon are the 3 best. Foster is a decent RG and was only responsible for a few sacks. While I'm sure he could be upgrades (maybe Chris Scott finally comes around?)...but for sure LG is the biggest whole on the OL...fill that spot with a solid player and the OL will be good to go for a while.

 

i've seen decastro going in the top 10. we don't have enough to go there. nor should we.

 

If he would stay at the projected pick 14 then we would have to seriously
look at something,if he moves into the top ten it gets just too expensive.
And we will go on with our hap hazard selections of OL. We have failed miserbly
in selecting OL. Whoever is selecting these people need to go back to the drawing board
of scouting. They STINK. PEOPLE, DECASTRO WILL SOLVE ALOT OF PROBLEMS

 

we were at brandon brooks pro day friday. they are saying he's a 3rd rounder. not invited to the combine. 4.98 -40 36 reps 1.71 10 yd. split 8-9 broad jump 32 vertical 4.52 short shuttle. he also knocked our newly hired offensive quality control/o-line coach down when he punched the bag during drills. decastro is not the only game in town at guard.

 

Colbert already said it does not make sense too have so many #1 picks on the oline...my guess is we will get a guard in round 2 or 3

 

Two is too many? We only have one. Current line is:

#2 - UDFA - #1 - UDFA - #4

 

that sounds like colbert about the o-line. yet we can have 3 on the d-line. let's get cheap about protecting our highest paid player kev. real smart. :roll:

 

When/where was this?

 

I heard this in an interview with him prior to the combine..who knows it might be a smokecreen..if DeCastro is there at 24 we better take him.

 

Glenn scares me alot, especially after on putting up 18 reps plus he is sloppy fat.
I guess the Steelers will continue to pick crappy lineman. You get what you pay for.

 

Glenn putting up 18 reps, heck I know HS players here in Western PA
doing this, It tells me he is LAZY won't get in the weight room. He looks sloppy FAT
Yes you get what you pay for. We have seen over the past several years how bad
the Steelers evaluate OL talent, other than Pouncey they all stink.

 

i think you have the wrong guy. glenn put up 31. adams put up 19.
