Under the radar pick at #24...

Peter Konz G/C Wisconsin

I read someone mention him not too long ago, and I ve thought alot about it lately.. Its the kind of pick that I can see us making, and it really wouldnt surprise me at all. There is a real possibility that guys like Glenn, Hightower, Poe, Adams, Martin and some more players that we would take could be off the board when we pick, and I really cant see us using the #24 pick on a wide reciever. And in all honestly, unless Tannehill falls or someone really wants to move up for Weeden, Im not sure that we can trade down...

Just my thoughts. I read this board everyday but dont post alot so dont blast me.

Go Steelers

 

i would take zietler over konz

 

i like zeitler, and i think that he could be there for us in the 2nd with the way solitilu and osemele among others have picked up steam lately and shot up draft boards. i think zeitler or konz could start at gaurd from day one for us. i think though that mike tomlins love for "position versatility" could make konz a more attractive option.

 

Jerel Worthy.

 

kendell wright

 

i read his body fat percentage is 16% , the most of all no lineman players , and he is rated a 3rd grade by a lot of teams scouts

 

he's gonna be another antonio brown.

 

In any of these cases, you have almost no choice but to trade DOWN in the draft to take them. You could get any of these guys at 30 or 33, why take them at 24? The Steelers I truly think are in a great spot for the super high draft slot teams. Any team that wants to get back up into the 1st round and get "their guy" may be willing to pay/overpay to get him.

 

I agree. A month ago Hightower was a lock to be there for us and all these guards were pretty close to locked into being there for our 2nd pick. Now they've all risen and Hightower might be gone, and the guards will definitely be gone by the mid 2nd. If all our big targets are gone by #24, I'd be happy to trade back and land one of those guards (Silatolu, Zeitler, Osemele) with our first pick. Then we could ideally take Chapman if the team is high on him like I am, and two huge needs are met. ILB gets screwed over for another year, because even if we take another guy like Spence he won't start as a rookie, but you can't always get lucky in the draft, and landing three starters in three picks is pretty lucky. I'll settle for two and put up with Foote/Sylvester for a year if that's the way the cards are dealt.

 

Hightower, Hill, or Poe......I would be happy with any of those 3 at 24...and I think Poe and Hill could slide to the 2nd if their tape comes into play....maybe all 3 if you look back at the draft..and see both Maluga and Baby Animal last till the 2nd.
