Pittsburgh Steelers 2011 offseason and draft thread

• Non

  

  I wouldn't mind if they took Herzlich from Boston College. Maybe not this round but third round or later.
  
  They don't really need a linebacker but I'd like to see him with the Steelers.
• Non

  

  They probably have Brandon Harris and Brandon Burton on their radar.
  
  I think those are the only two CBs worthy of this second round pick.
  
  As long as one is still on the board they probably are ok not trading and giving up a pick.

  best options now for the Steelers
  
  CB Brandon Harris
  CB Brandon Burton
  G/T Marcus Cannon
  T Marcus Gilbert
  NT Kenrick Ellis
  
  Burton is like a Bryant McFadden. Solid, good tackler but not a No. 1 corner. Or a player that's going to pick off a lot of passes.

  Shit. Harris to Texans.
• Non

  

  They burned us there.
• Non

  

  Brandon Burton is bigger than Harris.
  
  Solid player. Or maybe they'll go for OL.
• Non

  

  I don't know if Harris was a Steelers player.
  
  A little bit flashy.
  
  That might be better off.

  Most definitely.

  Marcus Gilbert OT from Florida
• killer_ewok

  

  He's versatile so that's very valuable to the Steelers.

  Good value pick and also fills a big need.
• Non

  

  third round
  
  NT Kenrick Ellis, Hampton
  NT Sione Fua, Stanford
  
  or any number of CB prospects
  
  Burney, Chekwa, House, etc.

  Flashy or not....Harris would of certainly helped out the steelers. Any other cbs you guys targeting ?
  
  edit, nvm got answered while i was typing this

  they also like Cortez Allen from The Citadel, cornerback about 6'1 and 197
  
  I like Rashad Carmichael from Virgina Tech but I have not heard his named mentioned much with the Steelers
• Art Modell

  

  Two nice safe picks for the Steelers who both should see playing time this season. I like it so far.
• Non

  

  They made that pick quickly, like they knew who they wanted.
• Non

  

  Steelers pick No. 95
  
  now I can't see the team officials sleeping another night without getting a cornerback
  
  that has to be the pick here and then we'll go from there tomorrow
• Non

  

  Johnny Patrick, Louisville
  Curtis Brown, Texas
  Brandon Burton, Utah
  Kendric Burney, North Carolina
  Quinton Carter, Oklahoma
  Chimdi Chekwa, Ohio State
  Davon House, New Mexico State
  
  This is a solid group. Not good enough for second round but fine for the third round.
• Non

  

  I'm thinking Davon House
  
  good size, confident
  
  just comes from a bad program, but he could end up like Ike Taylor
• Non

  

  Sione Fua is intriguing
  
  big run stuffer
• killer_ewok

  

  Curtis Brown CB Texas. Nice.
• Non

  

  scouting report says "quick-twitch athlete" and "explosive in transition"
  
  good attributes for being 6'0
  
  solid pick
• killer_ewok

  

  DL, OL, CB.....
  
  They addressed needs. I'm satisfied with their draft so far.
• Non

  

  he had a good combine
  
  showed off good agility and a great vertical leap
  
  I would give each pick at least a B grade or better
  
  they didn't reach and kept all of their picks for tomorrow
• Non

  

  I thought this was funny.
  
  When they were interviewing Curtis Brown, the reporters asked "You say you are a country boy. Where are you from?"
  
  Brown answered "East Texas. It’s right under Street Point, Louisiana, and right on the other side of Arkansas."
  
  It's like where the hell is that? Reminds me of the Water Boy or something.
