Chances of the Steelers getting Jarrett in the 2nd?

I disagree. I think Jarrett will be a receiver in the Hines Ward mold. He's a little flashier, but he's a possession guy, willing to put his body on the line to make the catch. He's also a guy that you can rely on. Just throw it up and 99% of the time he'll come down with it.

He also has to learn to beat the jam.. but a guy with his size and wing span. That shouldn't take longer than camp.

I'm not on the "We need a big WR because the best WR's are big". I just love his style of play (See Ward) and his ability. He has so much upside. He's not Calvin Johnson, but I think Calvin is nearly maxed his potential, where Jarrett has been a phenom and will get even better.

Craig Davis
Ted Ginn

I agree.... Although Ginn might be ahead Davis and Rice

Jarret, in my opinion, is the second best reciever in the draft. Regardless of how he timed he is a fantastic player. It was not a fluke that he had 3 years of productive football on a very high level. He never had a down year like many prospects and he was huge in big games. Jarret will not be there in the second for us and probably not in the second at all. I think he'll go much earlier (15-25) than people are projecting (early 2nd). If we somehow do land him in the second it would be a huge steal. He was the best college reciever in the draft. Not the best prospect, but the best and most productive college reciever. I honestly would not mind if the Steelers took him at 15 or traded down a little. I would rather have a linebacker but I'm not thrilled about any of them at 15 either.
