way early mock

why not let one fly?

1. desmond ridder qb cin. 6-4 has nice size. not my first choice but he checks a lot of boxes. 1.B. sam howell QB NC 6-1 rather this. checks some boxes.
not crazy about any of these picks but i think picket and willis and corral are gone.
2. chad muma ILB Wyoming 6-3 very productive.
3. kyler gordon CB washington 6-0 200 4.35 very good in zone or man coverage.
4. nick cross S maryland 6-1 210 4.44 speed. may look really good at safety but even in the mike hilton role.
6. jaivon heiligh WR costal car. 6-2 quick off the ball. physical. punt returner. under rated player.
7. OL/DL
7. OL/DL

 

Switch Darrian Beavers or even Christian Harris for Chad Muma. Muma is the most balanced Linebacker in the class... and that includes the top two in both Devin Lloyd and Nakobe Dean. The issue is... everything with him athletically is good but nothing really stands out. If anything, Logan Wilson compares favorably to him.. though Wilson was the superior athlete.


Every other pick I agree with assuming the team addresses the Offensive Line in Free Agency.

 

141 tackles, 1.5 sacks and 3 int. sticks out to me. a very good tackler too. i want this kid. no nonsense get the job done type of play. reads well and seems to play smart. sees the development of the play well and gets off blocks.

 

As I said, the Football IQ, discipline and technical abilities about him are not to be questioned. His limited overall athletic ability though leaves much to be desired. Realistically speaking... I am now more convinced than ever that playing in the 3-4 is going to be even worse for him than being in a 4-3.

 

Muma reminds me of Logan Wilson

 

Quite productive too. That would be a home run.

 

made some changes. the two 3rd rounders.

 

Thanks for the info Mac, I like the direction you are going in. I know you and some
others really study and research these players. I use to, don't seem to be able
to get back into it like I should. . I take it you too are hoping the Steelers make big splash
in FA on OLineman and an OLB

 

he may but this position is loaded this year. a good year to need a corner and safety. he could go in 1.

 

When did the Steelers get two third round picks?

 

there are some saying a 3rd or a 4th. Nothing set in stone yet.

 

this thread was made on feb.7.

 

there you go , cross is now a 4th.

 

reboot: pre combine

1. kyler gordon CB washington
2. chad muma ILB wyoming
3. max mitchell OT La. Lafeyette
4. brock purdy QB Iowa St.
6. jaivon heiligh WR coastal carolina
7. dawson deaton C Texas Tech
7. kennedy brooks RB Oklahoma

 

No...freaking..Way we get that draft.

 

change be coming after the combine.

 

1. kenny pickett QB Pitt
1.B. matt corral QB Miss.
1.C. sam howell QB NC.
2. chad muma LB wyo.
3. max mitchell OT Louis.
4. alontae taylor CB Tenn.
6. danny grey WR SMU
7. cade mays OL Tenn.
7. jadon peevy DL TX. A&M

 

this could all change with free agency.

 

Wrong Qbs, and none should go in the 1st.
Also I don't think J.P last until the 7th.
Otherwise

 

moving back to my original pick but with some tweeks.

1. desmond ridder QB cincinnati i think the others will be off the board and i think they like him.
2. lewis cine S georgia can play either spot on the backend.
3. marcus jones CB houston
4. alec pierce WR cincinnati
6. john ross LB michigan
7. chasen hines C/G LSU
7. myron cunningham OT arkansas

 

Mac I would love this draft. If the Steelers stay at 20 I think Ridder is definitely in play. Probably the best leader of this QB crop. Just as fast as Willis but with better mechanics. He could end up being a steal if he sits behind Trubisky for a year and develops.

No way Cine makes it to us in the 2nd but that would be awesome if he did.

Walker is definitely in play in the 3rd

Beavers and Lindstrom are players the Steelers seem to covet but they will be long gone before the 7th. I think Beavers could easily go in the 3rd.

 

i have seen them both all over the place. if lindstrum is gone i could see them going with chasen hines from LSU. they did visit with him at the combine. not sure about beavers. ross from michigan could also be in play at that point. so much depends on how it falls.
