The steelers will not sacrifice next year’s first round pick. I think the steelers always have some guys on the board that they would be willing to trade up for, but I have no idea who they are. Not sure if they would try to move to the top-10, it would depend on what the deal was.

If guys fall to the mid-round I would expect the steelers to move up. The steelers have extra draft picks and their roster is mostly filled out, meaning that they need quality at this point instead of just extra guys in camp.

I could see the steelers moving up in the 2nd to draft a guy like Wood if he falls to the middle and the don’t draft a center in the first. If you want to draft most accurately for the steelers, I believe you should keep your eye open for any player that has fallen much further than predicted, is an area of need, and is likely to be taken by a team between them and who they are trading with.

getting Jamon Meredith. I have him as our second round pick but he might be a little out of our range.

We should bundle some of our late picks and draft him in early round 5. He played at Washington State in an inferior system (so they say…) and could be a value pick. Solid possession receiver. A middle class man’s HInes Ward.

Also, why is no one giving Herman Johnson (OG, LSU) any respect? He doesn’t move well, for sure, except that he moves straight ahead while pushing nose tackles extraordinarily well. That’s a very useful ability in the AFC north. Doing that could be just the thing to improve our running game and, by extention, cause other teams to take our play-action seriously. So, just saying, if he slips to round three, I think he’s worth the effort and expense to get him somewhere around spot 75.
