Doubling up?

[rlon]

Which of the following duos,in terms of closely related positions,  do you think it’s more likely that the Steelers draft:CB and S, LB and OLB, OT and OC, OR NT and 3-4 DE?

And, to follow up, two of which even more specific drafting positions is most likely to occur (i.e. 2 corners, 2 ILBs, other, etc.)?

I have an inkling it be either CB/S or ILB/an Edge.

Theyve done a decent amount of homework on mid and late round edges.

I would probably guess the following in terms of likelihood:

1. ILB and Edge.

2. IOL & OT

3. 5 Tech DE and NG

4. CB and Safety

No chance CB and S are that low.    I think its easily the highest in terms of chances.   2 at the lowest.

They seem adamant about checking out IOL and OTs, especially with visits, so I'd say that's the most likely. Especially if Weidl has a large influence on selctions, being the Asst GM; that's just what he does...he builds from the trenches.  I don't see 2 DL they'll select in the first 2 picks, however, If they went something like Johnson/Jones at OT, and Bresee or Mazi in the 2nd Rd.

That said, it there is one position I could see them drafting 2 of, it would CB...a Slot CB, and a Field/Boundary CB.

Now, all of that said, I wouldn't be surprised to see them grab a CB at 17 or 32, then pick up Ringo at 49 or 80, depending how much his stock has dropped.  Then you have determine whether their long term plan for Ringo is at Corner or Safety.

based on current or next years needs, CB should be high on their list  and get legit playmakers / Ball Hawks like Forbes and Phillips (slot) .  Not sure if Safety will be looked at early though, but we will see. 

Actual NT though, gets maybe 20% snaps while DT gets more. 

Ringo -> Hole in TV .  Lots of good corners, no need for project players or players you try to find a position for since they don't suit existing positions

Porter -> Hole in TV .  will get too many penalties and not versatile for zones.

I think 2 DBs, be it 2 CBs or one of each at CB and S,  now presents as clearly the most likely. I’d love OT and OC or NT and 3-4 DE, though.

Baldinger was saying  that they should fix the OL once and for all and get 2 OL early.   Maybe this could be (some trades here as well)
