2) Cesar Ruiz 6’4 319 OC Michigan-. I threw a brick at my ’60 when the Steelers traded up for Devin Bush last year, but I would applaud this scUM selection. Assuming BJ Finney and Ramon Foster are departing, interior OL becomes a HUGE need. HUGE dude right here whose father was tragically killed helping someone change a tire on the side of highway when Ruiz was just 8 years old. More than explains his NASTY on field demeanor. Make this pick happen Tombert.
3C) Malik Harrision 6’3 246 LB Ohio St- A Buckeye and a Wolverine back to back. Couple old school rival headbangers going at it gladiator style every day in practice. I dig. I’d say it’s a foregone conclusion either Vince Williams or Mark Barron is a cap casualty. I cut them both if it gives me money to sign a starting TE like say Austin Hooper in free agency. Oh Harrison. Fantastic HS athlete who played both QB and WR before arriving with the Steelers “Farm Team” in Columbus. I don’t know about you but I didn’t like seeing the Ravens and their backups running all over the Steelers in a must win week 17 game.
4T) Leki Fotu 6’5 337 NT Utah- Three MEAN, NASTY hombres in a row. I’m slaying it today. Unless y’all have any better suggestions for Hargrave’s replacement ‘ol Fotu here will remain a Drama repeat.
4) Colby Parkinson 6’7 251 TE Stanford- Former 5 Star recruit who will become the 6th Stanford TE underclassman to be drafted since 2013. My first time mocking this kid, but I dig the measurables. Big ‘sum bitch that can really move. Weapon. Do the Steelers even have a tight ends coach?
6) Reggie Floyd 6’0 222 S Virginia Tech- Mike Tomlin? Virginia? Duh. AGGRESSIVE, PHYSICAL, tone setter that Aviators is surely drooling over. Combine snub.
7) Aaron Parker 6’2 212 WR Rhode Island- Hell no I’ve never seen a Rhode Island football game but there’s a pre-combine buzz around this stat sheet filler. Said to have fantastic ball skills so WTF I’ll throw a late day 3 dart. My hope is the Steelers dive into this incredible WR class early and often but I’ll acknowledge B2B’s point that Tombert may not view their WR group in the same light that I/we do.
Thanks as always for reading. Please comment on the players you like and those you don’t. I kinda like this one. Lotta size and nasty. Combine can't get here soon enough.
