Official Steelers Draft Discussion Thread

[Hines]

Discuss the draft here. I am excited to see who slides and who rises up the board. We will have to wait forever in a day to pick, though.

[Hines]

I reallllly hope we don't draft Unger at 32. He is a solid player and I would like him, but not at 32. I would rather have Mack or Wood than Unger.

My final 5 on who we can pick are:

Alex Mack
Eric Wood
Jarron Gilbert
Ziggy Hood
Top corner available

[Pitt]

To be honest, I'm not worried about the first round.

It's what we do in the 2nd here that will make or break it. Will we trade up to get a stud, or keep our fingers crossed that one of "our guys" (i.e. Moala, Gilbert, Wood) will still be there at #64?

I'll be dialed in on that 2nd round where you become more fixated about each and every pick (guy) coming off the board. Very intense. And I f*cking love it.

[lance uppercut]

I don't think the Hood predictions are a smokescreen. I'm guessing we get him at 1.32 and trade up for OL in two (Wood, most likely).

Hood + Wood would be a real good (and real safe) first day imo.

best psot of this guys career

[THav916]

Would like one of these 7....
Mack
Wood
Unger
Gilbert
Britton
Brace
Hood

Trading up in the 2nd would be great...two of that group above would be tremendous.

[Steelersfan4life]

WHat would you think if we traded down with the browns? And I also think that GIlbert won't be there at 64, I think he will get picked up by the panthers.

[Steelersfan4life]

dammit, the browns took Mack

Yeah i wonder if it was just to spite us...i glad the Vikings took Harvin so we didn't pass him up

[Steelersfan4life]

I hope we trade up for Oher, I am surprised he has lasted this long

[THav916]

Mack going sucks.

Love Oher and Britton still available.

[Steelersfan4life]

I just won't say anything now...

[THav916]

5 picks away and I like these 7 still out there...Britton, Wood, Unger, Gilbert, Rey, Hood and Brace. (Don't want a CB or WR)

[Strongside]

Wood's gone. Britton is still there. Rey is still there. Butler/Smith are still there. Gilbert too. We're are going to get a real quality player. I would like any of those. I definitely wouldn't mind Unger either.

I think we could trade up in the 2nd for sure.

[JonasBlane]

Would love to land Britton! I didn't think we could grab a starting type RT at our pick.

[Strongside]

I never thought Britton would be there. I hope it's Britton

[Steelersfan4life]

How about taking Rey and trading foote???

[CDub]

Wow - Butler/Unger/Hood/Gillbert/Britton/Maualuga all still there!

[Strongside]

70% Britton, 20% Rey, 5% Unger, 5% Gilbert

Edit: DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERP

[CDub]

Ziggy!!!!!

[Steelersfan4life]

WHAt?????? Ziggy Hood???

[Hines]

Ziggy Hood is the pick. I like it. I was just glad it wasn't Unger. I wished we would've gotten Darius Butler, though.

[CDub]

I can't believe I called it.

[Strongside]

I'm not a fan of him as a 3-4 DE...

But at least we're the World Champions Superbowl Champion.

Whatever. I have faith in our FO.

[THav916]

Woulda preferred Britton or Unger. Rey was tempting. And I thought Hood, Gilbert or Brace were the three dlineman. I'm very glad the Steelers didn't go with a CB or WR, as many people on here thought they would.
