    assuming the Steelers pick in the late 20's would you take Billings in the first round?

    Ok, so I read a little about him and he seems like he could be a good NT in the NFL. I just don't see him being anything more than that, so to take a guy in the 1st round knowing that he'll get about 1/3 of the defensive snaps means he has to be a real dominant guy. If nobody else was there that makes sense for us then yes, I would take him in the 1st, but he wouldn't be my first choice, even among defensive linemen. I would prefer A'Shawn Robinson from 'Bama at this point. I think he offers more versatility and can also be a very good NT if that's what we want him for.

    But, Billings very well could be BPA and we need depth along DL so I wouldn't be upset with the pick.

    This is the time of year where I start looking at draft prospects and which ones fit our needs. I really don't get to into it hard for another week or two and when bowl season comes that is where I really start getting hot and heavy on these prospect......in a football way, lol!

    Just this week I asked myself would I like a NT in the 1st round, in the past I don't like going NT in the 1st. I feel that where we pick I am not in favor of a NT as being a top 20-25 player, jmo. So depending where we finish this year is depending on who I would like. I just feel right now Billings isn't a player I would like to see in the 1st round. I am thinking more of a Safety but it is hard right now to know who is getting a 1st round grade ad who is slipping. I can see a Guy Like Kearse as our guy but like I said way to early.

    I've seen him mocked to us and while I don't really know a whole lot about him I am very intrigued. Kam Chancellor v.2?

    I'm also warming to Billings as he has a lot of positive press, from media and opposing coaches.

    Just read that Billings won't turn 20 until March. Liking him more and more. Could turn in a career like Timmons, where it seems like he's been around forever (he has) but is still under 30.
