I don't think Price is a good fit as a 34 NT. Also, I believe he is a first round pick.

Hmmm. I guess it will work. He's more of a pass rusher though. He seems like a Chris Hoke type and I want a run stopper as our NT.

Same here man...i dont like Price as a NT, but i trust the FO, so i'll let them off :P
I really cant see big snack resigning, so NT is going to be a tough one to sort out. Would we draft a high round one, Dan Williams, Mount Cody etc. Or fill the gap with Hokie and a FA, and try developing a NT. I really dont know what would happen.

I personally believe Hampton will be a Steeler in 2010. If they do not work out a deal now, I expect him to get the tag.

In my last mock I had the Steelers taking Sergio Kindle as a ILB/OLB. I know it would be more of a luxury pick, but I think he has the ability to play ILB. Obviously he could rush off the edge. The LB core would be terrifying if they had Harrison and Woodley on the outside and Timmons and Kindle inside. As a Ravens fan, its just scary even thinking about it.
What are your guys thoughts on the pick?

Its a good pick. But as you said its a luxury pick and its something right now we don't really want to do, with the crap oline and the questionable secondary. I'm for where ever we can get an help right away and a starter. Earl Thomas as S or Cb, or a tackle like Williams or Bulaga. With the tackles they can start on the right side, allowing Willie to shift inside and try his hand there. We get a RT and possibly a guard out of 1 pick.
Yeah..but Timmons or Kindle would have problems stopping the run, great on passing downs terrible on run downs.

Damn this board is kind of down.
Alright so what are our biggest needs this off season. Not many FA there so trades are a higher possibility this year. There are quite a few DL this year, so expect us to take at least 1 DL.
Our secondary needs to be upgraded at any of the positions, also for depth.
Line is also a big need, to we move up and take franchise LT, no to Campbell since we have a guy like Starks. Campbell is raw and we need someone who can come in.
Inside line, I think center is more important the our guard position. If we get a good enough center maybe he can play guard.
Lbs, pretty much we require depth to rotate guys in and out since they get so tired by games end, the offense is doing enough. But when the 3rd/4th quarter come they poop out.

1) Franchise OT
2) Youth along the defensive side (DL, LB)
3) CB/S
4) C
5) RB

In my latest mock I had the Steelers taking Taylor Mays in the 1st and Maurkice Pouncey in the 2nd. I think that would be a solid start to a draft.

That'd be an excellent first two rounds.

Yep, that'd be pretty god damn awesome! I still prefer Chad Jones and Earl Thomas to Mays though.

I like the Pouncey in the 2nd part. Mays in the first? pretty risky. I'd rather draft almost any of the other prospects that normally get mocked to us (Bulaga, Iupati, Dan Williams, Earl Thomas). Or Odrick, Graham, Weatherspoon for that matter.
we just cannot afford a bust situation with that first rounder, and Mays' 'floor' (imo) is lower than almost any non-QB projected for the first round.

1. Trent Williams
2. Jahvid Best
3. Amari Spievey
4. Sean Lee
I mostly went BPA based on my board. I know Best is a luxury pick but i just felt like he was too good to pass on and there are some nice players still available late. Was planning to go OLB (Worilds and Thad Gibson are the two i'm targeting), S (Kendrick Lewis and Robert Johnson top that list), and QB (Kafka and Daryll Clark) with the final three picks. If those guys don't fall to those spots, i'll also look at NT and C as other possible positions.

I've always been big on PSU backers; I would still trade Timmons for Poz in a second. But Sean Lee didn't impress me this year. I know he was coming off an injury but he was nowhere as good as he was two years ago. Several times I saw him get manhandled. against OSU he got pancaked by their fullback SEVERAL times. He got hammered physically in some other games too. The last thing I want to see is a blackandgold linebacker getting roughed up. Gibson, on the other hand, steadily impressed me as the year went on. Heyward and Gibson were a monster duo of defense for the Buckeyes last year. Heyward will be a first round pick next year. Gibson is good enough to go in the second, but will be a steal if going in the fourth as most people have him rated.

He injured his knee twice in two years. I'd be heisitant to draft him and think he'll be able to stay healthy. If he does, I'd think it'd be a great investment. He's from Pittsburgh, so that's a plus.

How would Steeler fans feel about Iupati in the 1st? He's not a LT, but he'd be an upgrade to a crap line and give some flexibility.
