jebrick Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 He is the best MLB in the draft. If Mack does not come out then he is the only MLB worth a 1st round pick. If Mack does come out the Steeler will sit until someone trades in front of them to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a draft where if Devin white gets anywhere close to them they should absolutely be on the horn trying to trade up considering what happened with Rashaan Evans. Now if Mack Wilson doesn't come out chances are Devon white doesn't make it anywhere close to us but even if he does will sit still and the only inside linebacker worthwhile will get taken because someone else will trade up to get them like you just said. This is a draft I feel like given everything that has happened and they need to be aggressive. They need to show that they are actually in It to Win It. I don't believe for a second Kevin Colbert has that in him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Make Wilson has declared. That gives the Steelers a chance. Wilson is a top 25 talent. I want to see him at the combine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Snack Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 With wilson and murphy declaring i think we will have atleast one of Wilson, Murphy, Polite, or Baker available at our pick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warfelg Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I’m gonna start posting some player insights later this week. But something for sure as I start digging: there are some offensive positions that are thin this year (OL, QB, TE) of elite talents, and when that happens talented players at deep positions (edge, LB, S) tend to slide because teams know they can get value later in round 2/3.

jebrick Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 DT is extremely deep in this draft. I fully expect at least 15 Dline to be picked in the 1st round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And teams reach on those thin positions causing more talented players to drop. I'm confident a "good" player will be there. Hopefully it's the right one and the FO makes the right decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confident a "good" player will be there. Hopefully it's the right one and the FO makes the right decision. Yup. Going through here and give you a rough idea of how a mock is shaping up for me in front of us: Cards, Jets, Raiders, Lions, Packers, Dolphins, Panthers, Titans - EDGE 49ers, Raiders, Bucs, Bills, Broncos, Bengals, Falcons, Washington, Panthers - Secondary Giants, Jags, Bengals, Dolphins, Vikings - LB Lions, Bills, Broncos, Packers, Dolphins, Browns - Interior DL BUT, with that, the following teams need OL/WR help as well: Jets, Raiders, Lions, Packers, Dolphins, Panthers, Bills, Broncos, Bengals, Washington. Add in that the Giants and Jags are likely QB drafting teams, Broncos and Bengals underrated QB drafting teams, Chargers sneaky underrated moving up QB team. All of that together will get some of these guys to slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFF Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 You’ll be able to pretty much lock in the Steelers 1st rd pick down to about 2 positions after FA, the AB outcome and what Tom/Bert do at pro days/dinners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Add Ravens to the WR mix. Put Giants and Jags at the possible QB slots. Haskins is going #1 or #2 depending on what trade happens. 12 hours ago, AlanFanecaFan said: You’ll be able to pretty much lock in the Steelers 1st rd pick down to about 2 positions after FA, the AB outcome and what Tom/Bert do at pro days/dinners. I can all but lock in in now as they want an ILB but may need to go and get it. Other than that it is CB. Both of those gone and it is BPA which could be EDGE or WR.

warfelg Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 https://steelersdepot.com/2019/01/steelers-visit-with-two-prospects-at-east-west-shrine-game/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Hollins is a good 3rd round target. Moves really well. The issue with him is he is a jack of all trades, master of none. Possibly settling into 1 position will help him. At 238, he would likely need to gain about 10 pounds to play OLB in our system, but for 6'5" he has a long reach and good bend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 I'm hoping Kyler Murray's entry into the draft will push some more talent down to #20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 How different of players are Devin White and Mack Wilson. I really like the look of Wilson. He reminds me so much of Shazier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
