Group Consensus Mock - Round 5A Winner Kalen Ballage

[JLambert58]

You know the drill. 

[AFF]

Went Adams...prefer Kelly to him but I do think Adams can be a solid starter...Watson/Wilson/James were also considered.

[warfelg]

I went McFadden, as I think he might be a little bit of a forgotten man here at this point.

[Armsteeld2]

I went Marquis Haynes.  No one has a faster first step.  Situational pass rusher and STer.

[JPeezy55]

I'm a big Dalton Schultz fan, think he has great value in the 5th, adds to the line of solid Stanford TE's.

Don't really want to go defense 4 selections in a row 

Like Adams and the RB's but big Schultz fan 

[JLambert58]

Big fan of Josh Adams.  I think he could be something special - and a steal in the 5th.   Beginning of the Post-Bell era.  

Also considered:

Izzo, he's a TE that LOVES to block. 

Armstrong could be a dangerous situation pass rusher. Ditto Haynes.

The OL and DL guys are tempting as well. 

And I really like Blanding as a double dip at S.  Especially if we take Bates first.  

 

[Chieferific]

People. I beg of you. Watch game tape on Gaulden and tell me you don't take him here. Not as a CB but as a SS/FS as he is intended to be. 

[Livewire]

I went with Ballage.

[JPeezy55]

Theres lots of defensive guys that are tempting, but I really think there's about 1% chance the Steelers go defense 4 picks in a row, specifically the first 4 picks

This isn't predicting what the Steelers will do. It's what the collective group would do.

Nonetheless, however you want to draw it up. I'm not going defense 4 picks in a row

Certainly your prerogative. I prolly wouldn't either. 

[JLambert58]

Wow, absolutely no consensus whatsoever.  I guess that speaks well to the fact that we don't have a lot of dire needs. 

We need to get a few more votes in, I'll keep it open until late tonight or early tomorrow morning.  so if you haven't voted yet, please do!

[JLambert58]

Group was divided on this vote.  Ballage by a nose.

With the 148th pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers select 

Kalen Ballage, running back, Arizona State University

[JPeezy55]

Kinda disappointing the consensus was so divided that the winner only got 3 votes, but nonetheless, moving on.
