SteelerFury Combined Forum

We’re about a month from the combine and a couple months out from the draft. Who is your target player or which list for round 1?

With WR being the biggest obvious need aside from a QB, I’ll go with Makai Lemon WR USC.

That would be standing ovation worthy!

Would that require a trade up?
Other than that I dig him

Suwanee GA’s own Kayden McDonald is my guy

Hard to say. I think he’ll be the 3rd WR off the board. They’re desperate for WR help. With all of those extra picks, why not drop a mid rounder to go up 5 spots to get him. I think there is a pretty big drop at WR after the first 3.

Doubt he would be at the Steelers pick especially with the anemic qb depth. I chose LB Arvell Reese.

I'm team Makai Lemon as well, and i agree with trading up for him as well

I think they could trade down and get him but he is one of my favorites. Unless they trade up, I do not see a decent WR making it 21. Maybe Denzel Boston is worth it but a 1st rounder for a 4.5 guy is tough to swallow.

Spencer Fano might fall but I doubt he makes it to 21 but I did not think DeCastrol would fall to the Steelers either.
Ioane is a player that will get talked about in the 1st round. 1st OG off the board in the 20s sounds about right.
I will toss out David Bailey(EDGE) He seems like a Steeler player. They could trade down and get him.

Makai Lemon for me too.

Problem is, he will test so well in Indy that we won't have a chance.

Lemon, David Bailey, and Emannual McNeil Warren are my favorite players in this draft.

You may have to trade up for your Rocket.

I also like Olaivavega Ioane @21

What about Chase Bisontis, Could he be a 1st RND selection?

On a trade back but sure. I think he is a natural LG

Talking bout Ioane there? Trade down to say 24-26?

What is the thoughts on Chase Bisontis?

BPA at CB or DL.

Going to need a guy very early and a guy later in the draft, yeah?

MVS, AT = both going to be gone.

Ben Skro is here on Teams, maybe?

Really need to see what Roman Wilson can do with a competent coaching staff.

2 years of essentially no significant snaps to produce, and when he did produce in limited spots he immediately got grounded, sent to time out. and made a healthy scratch via MVS and Thielen getting signed.

I, along with everyone else here, is interested to see who is brought in for a coaching staff and their take on personnel.

no. Bisontis i think he goes early 2nd round

I think we could get Lemon in round 1 with a small
Move up and Gennings Dunker for guard in round 2.

BPA given all the talent needs

Definitely need WR early and often, IMO, 2~3 this draft.

My question is regarding OT / OG.

I look at it as draft OT strictly and if you find someone who can play try Fautanu at LT or LG.

My opinion, we need a S badly, early, round 2 early.

Thoughts please

IMHO, this draft has several top end LTs prospects and a decent amount of developmental OTs. The OG depth is pretty good.

There are 3 top LT prospects, Mauigo, Lomu and Fano. Fano could also play RT.

The top Right tackles are going to be kind-of wiggly. Dunker (could also be a OG) Proctor(who should be a OG).

Now the best of the rest.

Caleb Tiernan has the footwork and technique to be a LT. For his size he is not a good run blocker so needs some development but his arm length might get him moved inside.

Isaiah World is a high ceiling/low floor type of tackle. Would be great to store on a roster for a year to develop. Very athletic but still developing technique and strength.

Austin Barber A zone blocking team will want Barber. Could be a year 1 starter on the right system. Needs strength.

Drew Shelton - Developmental LT prospect. Needs to add about 10-15 lbs of muscle

Monroe Freeling - another athlete that needs technique and strength. Again, developmental OT

Blake Miller - RT prospect. Could be a sleeper. Needs to be better at pass protection but a good drive blocker.

Diego Pounds - good pass protector with great size and good feet

Drafting need is stupid
