  Nice! I hope it happens.
  
  Been listening to MM? I'd like to hear his take.

  They'd have to give up quite a bit to get Pouncey, I think.
• Non

  

  Teams rarely get seven great picks in one draft. Usually four or five is a good draft.
  
  So if they give up a couple to get a long term cornerstone player it's worth it.
  
  You just have to be right about that player. But in Pouncey's case they had the advantage of seeing his brother for a year. If he's close to him then they know they're getting another special type of player.

  I like Muhammad Wilkerson a lot.
  
  He's from Temple so a lot of people may be thinking "how can he be good from Temple"
  
  But he's so big and rangy. With a little bit of work in the scheme and with technique, he could be dominant.

  Damn. Mike Pouncey is a Dolphin.
• Non

  

  So much for that.

  The CBs Williams and Harris would be safe, logical picks. Can't say I'd be wowed by either one but given the major need they could at least get that position addressed right away.
  
  But I wouldn't be locked in to a CB. All depends on who is there.

  Amukamara has slipped a little bit.
  
  I would consider moving up to get him even if it costs a third rounder and maybe one next year or something.

  Yes. That would be cool.

  So much for that as well.

  Yeah our war room might be eating dinner still haha

  I would say the three most likely are:
  
  LT Derek Sherrod
  CB Brandon Harris
  CB Aaron Williams
• killer_ewok

  

  Sherrod could be there.
• Non

  

  should be some pretty talented players there at 31 the way this is looking
• killer_ewok

  

  Definitely. Good deal.
• Non

  

  Steelers are in a nice position
  
  they should even consider trading down if a team wants to jump up
• killer_ewok

  

  Pick is in....
• killer_ewok

  

  Cam Heyward it is.
• Non

  

  Cameron Heyward
  
  I'm kinda pumped
• THE4RINGZ

  

  Nice pick.
• End of Line

  

  I'm very happy about this pick.
• Non

  

  I liked Wilkerson more than Heyward but still a good player.
  
  They must not have liked Williams that much.
  
  Colbert has done a great job in the first round and they had a lot of time to examine Aaron Williams. If they didn't want him I'd have to trust their scouting.
• killer_ewok

  

  Almost have to go CB in Round 2 IMO.
• OQB

  

  Haha smh....Steelers always have to get their pro bowlers from Ohio!
  
  Nice pick by the Steelers though....
