Using 4 on those positions leaves 1. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2018-nfl-draft-pittsburgh-steelers-team-needs-draft-picks-prospects-to-watch/amp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I decided to go to the source (Nfl.com). According to them, we do have 7. I stand corrected and happier.

Chieferific Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Can Duke Ejifor stand up in a 3-4? He really looks the part. He appears big and agile enough. I love his burst/bend/and hands. He is apparently a student of the game and is constantly in the film room. Injuries are some concern but I'd take the chance in Rd2. He wasn't been able to do the drills at the Combine and I've only seen him with his hand in the dirt. Can he stand up and play the Edge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Ejifor has shown no explosiveness. He is an average athlete that relies on hustle. That being said he is a decent technician. i would want to see a 3-cone and/or a 20 yard shuttle before I would trust him standing up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwalker Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 Leon Jacobs is an interesting, flexible (played both inside and out) later round pick. Ran a 4.4 at combine at like 245lbs. He's a bit short I think for OLB, might not be a full time starter there, but could be a great back up and ST player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLambert58 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Just saw some tape of Josh Adams, RB from Notre Dame. Damn that kid's impressive. Looks like LeVeon II with more Home Run ability. Granted I didn't go back and watch a bunch of games to look at his catching and blocking, but as a pure runner, I like his game. He could get huge chunks with our OL. And he's not considered an elite talent for some reason. So he might be had in the 3rd or even the 5th. Would be a steal imo. Anyone else like his game?

Playing outside CB/LB/FS/SS. Nice Size/Speed. Projected as a SS. Has his flaws but you gotta love the flexibility. He hits like a truck. Would be a nice later round pickup. Would probably be a ST demon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip to :40 unless you want to watch a SeatGeek commercial In regards to Adams, as an ND fan who watched his whole career, Most of his big runs came from terrific OL play, not to discredit him, but doesn't really make a ton of guys miss in the open field. Very much a strider, can hit the home run when he hits the open field Pretty good in pass pro and decent out of the backfield Does run a little high probably, however runs like a mac truck too Would be a nice pick in the 4th-5th round though. Good frame to work with and ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 If he goes unddrafted which i assume he will, i hope Pittsburgh picks up Jordan Mailata. A rugby guy, 20 yrs old, trying to transition to OT. If there is any way he could succeed as a project player Pittsburgh with Mike Munchak.

Good frame to work with and ability Nice eval, thanks. Good to hear the POV of a ND fan. Behind our OL I think he could kill it. His balance/lateral agility is not perfect but most RBs are going to look sub par compared to Le'Veon and his buttery smooth hips. Edit: I just looked up his pro day times. He ran 4.48 in the 40 and 6.75 in the 3 cone. Not too shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwalker Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 6'8 345 and 35.5" arms. Ran a 5.12 40 and a top 10 time in cones. He could be a really interesting UDFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. Look at this guy mowing down Rugby players. He's like a adult playing with kids. Sure, put him anywhere OL, DL, TE... RB? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
