Take Off, Eh
2.) Neville Gallimore 6’2 302 DT Oklahoma- “Chuck Norris for the defense, eh?” Born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Stubby, VIOLENT, ‘sum bitch mans the middle of an improved Sooner defense. Made that pre-season all freak athlete team based on his obvious pocket pushing power. I’m not in full offseason mode just yet. At the moment, I am thinking Bud stays and Javon goes. If both stay that’d be a beauty, eh?
3T) Chuba Hubbard 6’1 207 RB Oklahoma St- Born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Ohhh Can-a-da…been 20 years since I’ve seen you. While I love me some Canada (Molson, Labatts, the Sky Dome, Black Jack with Doug Flutie at Casino Niagra, Sundowner/Seduction were a long ago good time), I don’t love me some Steelers’ running backs. In fact, I think they SUCK especially Bennie Snail. Chuba and that Whyte kid bring some MUCH needed SPEED to an unwatchable backfield.
4T) Jared Pickney 6’4 260 TE Vanderbilt- Take off you HOSER. Vanimal is off my roster. Dude simply can’t be counted on. Once an early round prospect, Pickney has seen his stock plummet thanks to a brutal year turned in by the boys playing in the backyard of glorious Nash-Vegas.
4) Isaiah Hodgins 6’4 209 WR Oregon St- Some much needed size and sure hands for the wide receiving group. I still view a true #1 WR as a high priority, but if Hargrave or Bud departs this offseason then I think that top pick goes to finding an immediate hole filler.
5) Shane Lemieux 6’6 315 OL Oregon- French Canadian? Relative of Mario? Too lazy to look it up. Anyway, some nasty dudes along that Duck O-line and this Lemieux fella is one of them. They beat the shit of the much ballyhooed Utah defense. I dig Friday night football.
6) Charles Snowden 6’7 235 EDGE Virginia- “SNOW”-den. Get it? There’s SNOW up in Canada? Never mind. And never mind Anthony Chickillo. The Edmonton Eskimos wouldn’t even want him. BUM.
7) Bryce Huff 6’3 255 EDGE Memphis- A fill the stat sheet type of player. Has 54 qb pressures good enough for 7th in FBS. All out hustler who causes chaos and mayhem in the backfield. The Toronto Argonauts wouldn’t even want Hosehead Anthony Chickillo.
Thanks as always for reading. Please comment on the players you like and those you don’t. Go Steelers, eh?

TE will be a huge need: they'll need a legit starter who is a two-way player. Can Pickney be that guy?
I think the offense is actually better with the RBs in a rotation, especially if you have Ben. I'm, afraid that having a top quality RB will shift their approach even more to conservative football.

I hate that mock.
Gotta re-sign Hargrave and I dont want picks in the top 100 to be used at RB.
WR is by far the top need and there will be some real good talent left in the 2nd. I might even double up at WR this draft. You could pretty much tie up a very cheap unit for the next 3-4 years that could still scare defenses. As of right now there is no way I give JuJu a big 2nd contract

how about an ILB to pair w/ Bush? Like maybe...Dylan Moses....
The "WR is a huge need" narrative gets more and more tired by the week as younger players continue to flash and emerge. Mark my words, given the draft capital already spent, and given the flashes from Washington and Johnson, with what we know Juju is capable of already, with this season's QB situation, it's just not going to happen. If you're betting against C2 for Juju, I'd also say you're probably losing there.
Conner, on the other hand, is super injury prone, and I could see them looking to upgrade. It may not be one of the top two picks, but if Wobble and Bud are retained, I wouldn't be shocked at all. I agree, if they lose one of those two, a plug-in replacement possibility goes right to the top of the heap.
I'm open to suggestions at TE, but I think it's as big an offensive need as anything else. Thanks for not forgetting the offensive line, which is going to be in play as well.
Interesting mock, Drama, and keep em coming.

I'll add Deon Cain and Tevin Jones to that list. I think this 5 is actually a pretty good set. They could definitely add a top-end speed guy, either to work out of the slot or to take the top off... but if those are the 5 WRs next year with Healthy Ben and the defense returns nearly whole, I'd take that in a heartbeat.Ice wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 9:31 pmThe "WR is a huge need" narrative gets more and more tired by the week as younger players continue to flash and emerge.

Mcdonald is G-O-N-E. He's one of the most conceivable big cap savings cuts and his production is far, far below his salary.
TE, LT-capable OL, IOL, LB depth, RB, speed WR, S depth, DL depth. If you somehow can't keep Dupree or Hargrave (I'd move heaven and earth to bring them back), then add those positions to the draft needs ahead of some of the others. TEs in this draft are going to be scarce and Steelers are going to reach the draft with only Zach Gentry and perhaps a league-minimum FA at TE.

Didn't Ben lead the NFL in passing yards and set a career high in TDs last year with Conner as the workhorse back? with Bell before that??
Wouldn't a running back with MORE talent than Conner lend itself to opening up the offense rather than shutting it down???
I believe that the Steelers' offense is so conservative because the Steelers do NOT have a go to running back, wide receiver, tight end, and quarterback. This isn't the 49ers where Kyle Shanahan schemes players open using a variety of motion and formations. The Steelers need players. They need Ben back and 100% healthy. He is the key to the car here, not a gaggle of JAG running backs.
I hope y'all are right and the Steelers find a way to sign both Bud and Hargrave, but this particular mock to me shows what the draft could look like if the departure of one of those key cogs leaves.
Thanks for the quality football conversation. Free agency will shape the draft. Until we know the fate of Bud and Javon along with potential cuts like Vance and hopefully Barron, I'll continue to be all over the board with players and positions.

No I mean what I said. The offense last year was great in the red zone, but better at yards than points. Some of that was Boswell, but some of it was performances vs good defenses. Conner did most of his damage vs poor rush teams––his DVOA (adjusted for strength of opponent and results per play) has never been good. He is one of the least efficient RBs in the league when running the ball. What he was really good at was in the pass game. From that standpoint it helps, but I think the Steelers need to self-scout and start running more in pass situations and passing more in run situations. Having a mixture of RBs who have different skill sets (and who each have some really good skills) is better than one bell-cow who is more predictable. I think there's a chance Kerrith Whyte should be getting way more carries. Like I could see Conner step into some of BSF's carries, Whyte into some of them, and BSF being primarily a short-yardage guy. Maybe the next week, Samuels plays the most vs a team where his threat as a pass target opens up the field. Maybe the next week you alternate Conner and Whyte.Steeldrama wrote: ↑Wed Dec 11, 2019 1:20 amI'm not following your logic here B2B.bradshaw2ben wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 3:09 am

Sooooo get a better more talented running back more capable of doing damage against the poor AND the good rush teams.Conner did most of his damage vs poor rush teams
Just where my head is at. There isn't a complete back on the roster. I see JAGS with some skill specific traits but none with the total package which is forcing a committee approach. It isn't any genius strategy by Tomlin and company. They're playing the hand they've been dealt.

Going on resigning Dupree and Vannett and losing Hargrave, Finney, Burns. Cut Foster, Switzer, McCullers, Chickillo.

If we manage to pull re-signing Hargrave and Dupree off, and JK Dobbins is there at our R2 pick (he won't be), I'd sprint to the podium, and sort out TE with the next round. He's an impact player. Broken Zeke Elliott records in maybe a little less time, is actually a better rounded and faster runner with more shiftiness, and he can catch. He's what people are misremembering Leveon Bell as.

His pass pro might be worse than Samuels coming out. And what advantage is there in:
A. Running it more vs good run defenses
or
B. having most of or all your eggs in an expensive basket? That bell-cow goes down or need to get paid more than you can afford, it's a serious problem
Difference between college & pros:
RB is a premium position in college
In the NFL RB is the most fungible and one of the least correlated with winning, especially in this era

I'll agree, coming out of that system, he's at a disadvantage where pro-style pass protection is concerned. I'm straining to think of a back coming out of a zone read/spread system who wasn't. You've probably got a couple. Kid is an impressive and dedicated worker, though. He would learn fast. Can't really argue the financials, either. Other than that, love everything about the kid, especially the explosiveness. Other than Whyte, we lack it at RB right now.
Hypothetical, because he'll be long gone.
If a TE warrants that R2 pick, like I said, I'm all ears at this point. Mainly watching the Big 10 and MAC, nobody has jumped off my screen to that point yet this NCAA season.

My personal favorites for TE are Bryson Hopkins of Purdue and Jared Pinkney of Vanderbuilt. Hopkins is the #1 for me in this weak class and should be there on day 2.
Jacob Breeland of Oregon may be the best fit for the Steelers but they already have Vannett and Breeland is more of the same.
Best name fr the TEs Joey Magnifico, Memphis
Some people like Okwuegbunam from Missouri but i am not a fan. 4-5 round pick at best.

Just updating for my own amusement
Montreal senior S Marc-Antoine Dequoy has accepted an invitation to play in the East-West Shrine Bowl.
Dequoy (6'3/195) was a first team All-Canadian selection in 2019, as he accounted for 37 tackles and three interceptions. He has good size for a defensive back, but the week in St. Petersburg will give Dequoy the opportunity to show what he can do against some of the better American college football players

I also saw a couple of scouts from the Ottawa Redbacks here, undoubtedly to keep an eye on Kétel Assé OT Laval (6057 315 34 3/8 9 5/8 81 1/8). I witnessed Assé taking for 15 minutes with at least 3 different people and never heard him say a word of English. He looks the part–long arms and seems naturally big. He’s not completely ripped but he seems like a guy you’d like to be one of the first to get off the team bus.
If he turns out to be great, we'll be able to compliment OL by saying they play like Assé.

OT is fairly deep this year so Jackson might fall. I can also see a real quality center falling to the Steelers. Especially in the 3rd comp pick.
I am not a fan of Eason. Seems like Rudolph 2.0

None draftable might be an exaggeration (cut to FC drafting a TE in the board mock).
I do think there are TE pass catchers... but the blocking situation is not good. For a TE to fit in PIt plans, they have got to be not just adequate but above the line in blocking.

I dont believe there is a classic NFL tight end in this draft...A few "Big" slot Wr's.
So B2B and I agree on tight end which is a fucking miracle in of itself...Its been a 15+ year debate/war/skirmish/disagreement/blood feud
Thanks Drama...I had a rough few weeks. Everything seems to be good now though

Thing is: the TE position in college is obsolete, so every TE pick is a projection. It similar to RB or QB projection because those roles in college ball are also quite different.
