Steeler interest mock

I actually could live with this for the most part except for the fact that o-line hasn't been addressed yet

 

What do you think needs addressed? We have young starters in Gilbert, Foster, Pouncey, DeCastro, and Adams... Plus a couple of pretty good backup at 4 spots in Beachum, and I think Malecki will fill in nicely in Legs spot.

We probably need a tackle at some point in this draft, but not early.

 

anyone that has read any of my posts concerning the o-line knows that I don't think very highly of gilbert, and I've detailed why on multiple occasions......I like foster, but I think his best position is at rt........which would mean adams on the left, foster on the right, with decastro and pouncey on the inside......... that leaves a hole at either one guard spot, or you leave foster on the inside and there is a tackle spot open.... anything that would push gilbert to back-up status would be fine with me.

 

Eh, I don't think Gilbert is our future left tackle set in stone yet, but I will admit he's played better than I expected every time they've moved him somewhere... So I'm willing to give him a shot. If Lane Johnson somehow fell to 17 then I'd be all for an upgrade, but barring that I'm good with what we have for right now.

I think Adams on the left (right now) would be a disaster. Let's see how his footwork improves this year. At worst I think he'll be a very solid RT... and I think Foster is a temporary solution at guard. (still holding out hope for Pouncey II in a couple years).

 

Sign me up!

 

Malecki is nothing more than Legursky lite. There's a reason he's been floating around practice squads for a few years. Beachum played better than expected at tackle, but he still needed a lot of help and gave up 4-5 sacks. Try not to forget how brutally awful he was at guard. Yes it was preseason, but he was AWFUL.

 

I like it okay but I don't think we'll have an extra third rounder. The Steelers will match the Pat's offer to Sanders.

 

not crazy about te that early. i would wait till 6th or 7th. if at all. i dont see it as a huge need. i love picks 1-3 and 5
