Steelers' draft strategy

NOT a fan of Freeling, not sure why he has first round buzz, at least 5 OTs that are clearly better, but maybe he made an A in Chemistry or International Economics or something.

 

Agreed. If anything, if they like a player and think they can get him 4 or 5 picks later, trade back and add another day two pick this year or next year.

If they trade up, it'd better be for a stud that has slipped into double-digit territory.

 

I've seen some mock drafts just in the last day that have us taking Blake Miller the 6'7" 317 OT from Clemson at #21. Miller started the first game of his freshman year 4 years ago and never missed a start playing in 54 consecutive games.

 

jones setback?

i think it's time to move on. i would for sure move fautanu over to the left. early in camp and let james campen work with him there. it's where he is the best. it's where he played in college except for 2 games at LG. let's stop square pegging him like MT did. we have cook as the depth piece or starter depending on camp.

we have this guy for the starting G spot. played center and right guard.



now we draft not needing a LT but we can draft a guy that has and can play the right side along with driscoll as vet depth.

mccormick stays put or swaps to the left where he played in college. again square peg.

frazier. nuff said.

anderson depth.

 

Combine a couple of day 3 to move up 10 or 15 spots if a player they want is sitting there early in round 4 or 5.

Send one away for a round better pick in 2027

I'd rather they trade back several spots and add a 2027 pick in day 1 or 2.

Won't be mad at all if they move up if they can get one of the more likely studs at OT, WR, S (even Edge if they plan to trade one of Highsmith/Herbig/Watt).

 

At Left Tackle, Freeling is #1. Lomu #2 and the next guy is a 355 lb Kadyn Proctor who does not project as a left tackle.
The rest are Right Tackles: Mauigoa, Fano, Iheanachor, Blake Miller.

 

Freeling had a similar career like Broderick at Georgia both had less than 20 starts.

 

Sounds like that is coming from Beck's agent
