Squanchy Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I was having a similar discussion with a friend and decided to bring it here. Given what the needs of the Steelers are, the players they're rumored to be interested in and everyone's personal opinion and or wants/needs for certain selections. I figured it can be a fun game-ish thing. The idea is to pick what you think would be the best configuration from the list below. If you want one of what you want and one what you think they'd do then have at it. I'm not going to include trades for this. Also I'd like to keep it as realistic as possible with the selections and where certain guys are mocked. So no Will Anderson types available. I'm only doing 4 rounds because I don't know of 200 plus prospects as well as doing my best off what I've seen from mocks and top 100s etc as far as prospect availability for certain selections. I know some may be a bit off but I think most are possible for each selection. Pick one player from each round to round out your draft for the first 4 rounds for the Steelers. Round 1-17 - Wright OT/Porter CB/Banks CB/Van Ness EDGE/Bresee DL/Smith EDGE/Branch DB Round 2-32 - Harrison OT/D Jones OT/Addison WR/Forbes CB/Ringo CB/M Smith DL/Simpson LB Round 2-49 - Smith CB/JMS C/Campbell LB/Sanders LB/Stevenson CB/Brents CB/Downs WR Round 3-80 - Benton DL/Johnson S/Ika DL/Mauch OT/Brooks DL/D Williams LB/Henley LB Round 4-120 - Mingo WR/Morris OT/Ojomo DL/Vorhees OL/Herbig EDGE/Overshown LB/Rush CB For me out of those selections I'd go 17 - Wright 32 - Ringo 49 - Campbell 80 - Benton 120 - Mingo Feel free to submit what you'd like to happen or any changes you'd make or just roast me.

43M Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 That 17 selection is not great group IMO. Id either go Branch or Porter, but prefer a trade down. 1. JPJ (even though I dont love him there) 2. Simpson 2. JMS 3. Benton 4. Probably Mingo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love if Paris/Skoronski or Witherspoon/Gonzalez dropped but I don’t see that happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the only guy Id trade up for. Id like to trade down to mid to late 20s for proper value....even out of rd 1 for a future 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best value at each pick is what I selected. Would love a tackle but none of the options presented were best value imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's simply, a player...the type of talent that makes the right plays at the right time... So...what I'd do, if I were GM... 1. Smith EDGE/ILB 2a. Ringo CB/S 2b. JMS C 3. Benton DL 4. Mingo WR ...what I think Khan/Weidl/Tomlin might do, barring trades... 1. Porter CB 2a. M. Smith DL 2b. Downs WR (Scout told him was cleanest Pro-day Workout he's ever seen) 3. D. Williams LB 4. Morris OT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squanchy Posted March 31, 2023 Author Share Posted March 31, 2023 I’m not sure how quickly they go DL with the signing yesterday. Unless it’s a too good to pass up type scenario. They may be looking at late round depth now and fill their other needs with higher picks/higher instant impact players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 for me, I can't pass on Nolan Smith or Dawand Jones if they are there. Too much talent. The rest just falls to BPA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
