Yea Decastro was a top 10 pick that fell and Adams was a 1st rounder but fell because of character issues. Our line will be solid if they can stay healthy. - lloyd095
Staying healthy always seems to be a problem for the O line. I can't remember the last time they went through a whole season with the same guys in the same position. Bring Max Starks back! |

Most teams don't stay healthy all year. This team has a ton of talent on OL but now they need someone to run behind it. |

Of course Eddie Lacy but he's going early. We need CB's but other positions have better available.
1-Arthur Brown ILB
2-John Jenkins DT
3-Keenan Allen WR
4- Zach Ertz TE
5- Or best CB or HB
They will all be gone by Steelers pick. |

I kind of liked Willie Colon. Anybody else shared the same feeling? Will Jarvis Jones be better than last year's James Harrison |

I've been trying to figure out what Doug Murray reminds me of. I've found the answer:

Very true, but our OL has been hit by excessive injuries. This line isn't a great run blocking line....at least not yet. I'm of the mind-set that even a average running back can look great running behind a good line. Still... I agree they need to get a decent RB in the draft. I don't want to see them sign a walking injury like Wells or Bradshaw. |

How do you analyse the Mike Adams, David DeCastro picks?Did we get the best availables?I know the Maurkice Pouncey pick was a pretty good one. - Orpik44
I thought that was good and a bit odd for them to go back to back. They liked Adams to go in the 1st but they weren't going to pass up DeCastro. When Adams was there in the 2nd they just snatched him up. They have potential to be very, very good fornthisnteam going forward. Kelvin Beachum too. |

Colon was a good player....when he played. Key word being "when". Harrison played pretty well the last few games. I think they should have kept him for one more year. I'm not sold on Worlids at all. Who knows if a college guy can come in and play right away. Here's hoping! I believe it's going to be a rough year unfortunately. |

Colon was a decent player. Not great. His attempt to transition to guard was admirable and he went bad. He has far too much injury baggage though. Good luck to him in NY.
Jones will have a lot to pick up on but I have a feeling Woodley is going to improve greatly. That'll take some pressure off. Harrison will have some lighter duties I think because of how much defensive depth Cincinnati actually has. He'll be given room to stay healthy and strong. That's a scary thought. |

A Healthy Decastro will help change that. Him and Pouncey beside each other will be great. Plus our RB's we're pretty bad even if they open a hole. Bradshaw is very good though. |

I don't see anybody talking about drafting a WR. Are you comfortable with E.Sanders as our starter now? Antonio Brown is the real deal.
I see Cotchery and Burress as "so so" at this point.
Anyone interesting that could work with Roethlisberger left in the 2nd Round? |

For anyone to work with Roethlisberger they need to draft a new OC. |

They should be looking for a QB. Manuel isn't the answer.

If Jonathon Banks is available at the Steelers pick, i hope they take a look at him. He was a top 20 pick before he got hurt last season, and with a bad combine, dropped to the 2nd round. HUGE corner, at 6-2, 190
EDIT: 6-2, 215 |

Hopefully they will take any of them. We need to develop some WRs.
BTW..
If Buffalo beats the Islanders today, they'll be doing us a big favour!
Pittsburgh vs Islanders for the 1st round it is, and I'm happy with it |
