Andrew Perloff of SI.com is so over the draft. So much so that he’s already mocking next years draft. Here’s the link. Now we’ll mock him. (be sure to read the comments, good stuff)
Apparently we are going to address the DL NEXT year. We are mocked up to take Michael Johnson, DE from Georgia Tech. [...]
A lot has been made about the Steelers obvious choice to not take specific positions of (apparent) need. From our outside perspecive it seems so obvious that we NEED a LT or a RG. It seems obvious that we need depth at the DL position (ok, that really is obvious). But, I’m not jumping off [...]
Hashmarks says that the “Steelers are stealing“…Yup, that’s what we do.
First thoughts…wasn’t crazy about the pick of Mendenhall. However, I think I spent absolutely no time even giving him a second thought because I didn’t think he’d be there. The more I think about it, the more I like RM alot. The backfield may get a [...]
Rashard Mendenhall, RB - Illinois
And…how ridiculous is the practice of mock drafting now. Especially for the 2nd half of the 1st round, and certainly beyond. Of the 3 billion mock drafts listed in the previous post, not a single one had Mendenhall as a Pittsburgh Steelers RB. Wow.
UPDATE: NO ONE GOT IT RIGHT. HOWEVER…I will give a pat on the back to Steve Silverman of NBC Sports. He picked Sweed to become a Steeler. In the first round.
The hype that is the NFL draft is ready to boil over. As I type ESPN is counting down the hours until kickoff the first [...]
We’ll see how this all plays out in training camp and into the season…but one thing is for sure: The above scenario that seemed all too real each week last season has been addressed with the signing of Justin Hartwig. I definitely prefer this signing to last years disasterous signing of Mahan for the same [...]
Future Steeler?
Don Banks weighs in with his 4th mock draft installment…and surprise, he has the Steelers selecting Brandon Albert of Virginia. No surprise here as nearly everybody and their mother are projecting Albert to the Steelers. I don’t claim to be an offensive line talent evaluator but I do know that if you have big [...]

Best Available…
Contrary to popular opinion, the Steelers are planning to take the best available player at #23 in the draft. The conventional wisdom, in a O-Line rich draft, and considering the apparent need on the line, is that the Steelers will draft an offensive lineman with the first pick. But, Kevin Colbert is throwing a [...]
John Clayton of ESPN.com listed his top teams at evaluating talent and drafting consistently great players. He pegs the Steelers as the #4 team behind the Pats, the Colts, the Chargers and just ahead of the Ravens. I guess he’s only looking at the past 5 years rather than the history of each franchise. If [...]
