Steelers wont take a RB at 32 -- they are gonna give the Bettis role to Duece this year...

 

they need a Free Safety

Steelers brought in free safety Ryan Clark. It is not a necessary position, but a position that will probably be addressed in the first 3 rounds.

 

I think Steelers just chose the best safety, RB or WR on the board but will not reach cause there is no glaring problem.

I forgot about Clark - and he was a Skin last year - he blows alot of open field tackles, but is pretty steady overall

[shovelheadt 71]

Nick Mangold if he's there.

[Portis26 0]

Nick Mangold if he's there.

 

I think the Jets at 1-29 will take Mangold

[murf74 461]

Nick Mangold if he's there.

 

For some reasons Steeeler have been paying Chucky Okoby a good penny to stay as a backup and just redid his contract. They may think they already have a future center, but I would rather have Mangold than Chucky for the future.

The GOOD FIT to our system is White. He ain't lookin too bright in interviews and off the field, but he does have special ability as a RB. (vision, football instincts, piston drive) I don't see the Steelers passing on him if he falls to 32. Plus, our team is iffy at this position if FWP goes down. White could carry the load if needed.

 

At least we have the luxury of taking the BPA when our pick comes. It's good to be the Champs!!!

 

 

 

I'm headed to Heinz Field today for the draft day festivities. Enjoy the draft guys.

I don't think White has a chance with Pittsburgh because of the news that he failed a drug test. Pittsburgh won't tolerate someone with a drug problem or bad moral character.

Until I see something official on the drug thing, it's all speculation.

 

Failed drug tests are not covered up leading to the draft, they are exposed ala Sapp.

You may be right murf, now I read that White didn't appear on any NFL drug list.

Breaking news: NFL officials have decided to take away 14 minutes and 55 seconds away from Seattle's time on the clock and give Pittsburgh almost half an hour to make their first round pick.

2. gives u time to tell tj what a tackle box is

3. gives u extra time to learn what a push off is

4. get a real uniform

5. get an endorsement deal 4 hasselbeck(rogain or hair club 4 men)

6. get the knife out of coach holmgrens back that your r.b. said was put in him with the rushing title 2 years ago.(as pittsburgh puts the team 1st, your guys are individuals.

7. can put your kicker in norwood counseling

8. teach your safety 2 not get beat up by a computer geek when out at a night club

9. bye your tight end some balls as joey porter got in his head and freaked him out with the "tap out" talk

10. get your pathetic fanbase to step up as in detroit the crowd was 95%pitt.5%sea.

You guys just can't let it go. Waaaaay too defensive.

 

I don't blame you, as I would have trouble sleeping at night with a fraud win in a Super Bowl too.

 

It's incredibly easy to push Steelers fans buttons.

Sigh. I see that you can't fathom the concept of fishing.

 

No worries. Enjoy the draft.

[Fumbleweed 547]

Dare we dream?

 

Chad Jackson or Santonio Holmes to Pittsburgh???

[murf74 461]

Phillybear, this is a thread of draft talk of the Steelers. Don't screw it up.

 

Steeler fans, ignore this fool

[shovelheadt 71]

Here we go.

[Fumbleweed 547]

TRADE UP! Yes!!!!

 

WR, here we go!!!!!!!!!

[Orgazmo 2]

oooooooooooooooo

[murf74 461]

YEP, I CALLED IT EARLIER TODAY.

 

Thank you NFL GMs around the league. Santonio Holmes!!!!!!!!!

[shovelheadt 71]

Too bad I now have to hate an OSU guy. You guys more than replaced El with this pick.

Great move by the Steelers.

[frank 2,307]

How does the Super Bowl champ end up with the top WR in the draft?!?!?!?!

Yep.

The Giants kind of raped the Steelers there.

When its a wretched year for WRs?

[shovelheadt 71]

How does the Super Bowl champ end up with the top WR in the draft?!?!?!?!

 

Looks like it took 3 draft picks.

[phillybear 366]

It's a conspiracy. :mad:

 

Nice move. Great pick.

[shovelheadt 71]

You guys screwed up by not grabbing one of them.

[murf74 461]

The Giants kind of raped the Steelers there.

 

Well, the last pick in the 3rd round and the last pick in the 4th round when we had 3 forth rounders.

 

To the Steelers we only gave up the last pick in the 3rd round cause there was no way we were gonna use all 3 of the 4th rounders.

 

If you use the NFL Draft Trade Value Point Chart it was a pretty even trade.

 

Giants 25th pick being worth 720

 

Steeler 1st 3rd and 4th is worth 590, 116, 44. which equals 750

You guys screwed up by not grabbing one of them.

 

You keep thinking that.

Wow, the Steelers WR corp seems pretty freaking solid now. And to those questioning whether it was worth it, of course it was. The Steelers don't have that many glaring holes, the only position that could be considered a need was at WR, and we got the best one of the draft. Safety could have been a possibility, but DBs are flying off the board. Not to mention we still have two 4th round picks, and we're pretty much drafting for depth and the future now.

There are not many roster spots open at all. They were not going to draft 10 players cause there are no roster spots open.

 

When you have the chance to get the best WR in the draft (even if it is a weaker year), you just do it.

 

And the Steelers have filled their kick returner spot with this pick too.

 

Lets review the Steeler 1st round history:

 

2003 Steelers get best safety in the draft (by performance so far)

2004 Steeelers get best QB in the draft (by performance so far)

2005 Steelers get best TE in the draft (by performance so far)

2006 Steelers get highest rated WR in the draft

I think Holmes is a good pick, at first seems like we spent a lot but it was pretty much two fourth rounders.
