Steelers Mock Draft

But I highly doubt Dan Williams falls to the second round. Too high of a demand for 3-4 NT.

Neither of the Pouncey twins will fall past the end of the second.

Trust me, you don’t want anything to do with Leigh Tiffin. I know he’s having a solid year and has NFL distance, but I’d hardly call him accurate. He’s missed three extra points this season and he’s a career 25 for 36 from 30-39 yards and 17 for 30 from 40-49. I know Jeff Reed is nothing special, but at least he’s automatic on the kicks that NFL kickers should be automatic on. Kickers have an enormously high bust rate too. Maybe Tiffin will continue to improve and will one day be an NFL kicker, but he’s not a guy you want to rely on as a rookie, especially for a team with playoff and Super Bowl aspirations.

I’m assuming you mean Maurkice Pouncey and if so, there’s no way he’d last until the fourth round. Maybe his brother Michael could make it that far, but Maurkice is a first round type talent and the only player in this draft who could play center who would be worth a pick in the top 75 or so picks.

I think Rolando McClain being available at 16 is a little optimistic and Dan Williams being available in the middle of the 2nd round is even more optimistic, but those are nit-picky concerns for a one team mock.

I’d be surprised if he gets to the middle of the third round.

probably top 10..maybe top 5.

None of those guys will be there when u have them chosen

That man can play. Great ballhawk, and could develop into a Polamalu-like safety.

You don’t need anything on offense that demands a 1st rounder, so you are safe there. As far as Defense, your NT hasn’t been extended and he could get attention from the Chiefs or another new defense with more money than the Steelers, or maybe he has an attitude by not getting th eextension and goes to play for NE so Wilfork can play DE. The Secondary is an obvios need and I see two or three picks there. Unfortunately only late round ILB’s will be in the future of the Steelers, IMO.

Farrior’s replacement is Timmons. Look at Timmons Strengths, he flies to the ball and covers well (when healthy), exactly what Farrior does. We need Larry Foote type guys, tough, not flashy guys who take on blocks well to compliment a Farrior or Timmons. Timmons and Farrior don’t work great together because they are best at the same position.

For LB I don’t expect any early picks, we just need depth with some youth, our PS guys aren’t working out. But we also do well finding LB depth in FA often, so we may not draft LB at all.

DT and Safety are our big defensive needs, unless there is a top notch Corner out there falling to us, in that case grab them.

Other than that Tackle depth is the only position we are weak at, we can take whatever is good at that point.
