thing to notice as far as draft
Iv notice a from a few monk drafts why is everyone picking a CB for the steelers first round pick. some of them even have them also picking a WR in the second round. Whats up with this, i think we got pretty good CB young and old, and WR we got 2 really good ones with OK back ups in nate washington.
I would of thought that people would of notice the O-line problems and pick up a good o-line, and even possibly picking up a D-Linemen for the future due to the age of the snack. (ps would it be sweet if somehow the steelers get Glenn Dorsey from LSU, that would be sweet, but very very unlikely) UNLESS, we are willing to trade someone on D with the pats for that second pick (VIA trade from SF). Would you guys trade someone like a smith or maybe even tayler, or even some of our younger guys to maybe try to get arguably in my opinion the best DT i have ever seen

Draft
Personally I wouldn't trade Ike, or a player of his caliber, to get a college guy just because the NFL ditches are littered with guys who blew everyone away on Saturdays but couldn't get out of their own way on Sundays. I assume you're talking about Anthony Smith and I think it would take more than him to get the 2nd or 3rd overall pick.
yeah

CB vs OL
Gay's development, Taylor's comeback and solid play by McFadden and Townsend have lessened the immediate need. I've seen OTs Hills (Texas) and Otah (Pittsburgh) as our projected first-round picks and I don't think there is any doubt the Steelers will go in that direction.
The Steelers have often traded up in the first round but rarely (if ever, in my memory) included a starter as part of the trade package. The final rankings for OTs have a long way to go and a lot will depend on Combine results. OT and OL in general is very hard to assess during the season because of team matchups and overall offensive schemes and success. It's quite possible the Steelers will target a specific OT they like more than the others and move up to get him. I'd be surprised if they don't draft another OL, at any of the three positions, in the second or third rounds.
The next priorities in my mind are: DL, FB or power RB, WR, CB.
Power RB

draft needs
2.O-Line well we need more than one guy...
3.D-Line
4.Big WR
5.More O-Line for good measure
I'm not a fan of drafting running backs early. They have a short shelf life, but more importantly a good offensive line can make a decent RB look good but it doesn't work the other way around.
there is some truth to that

yeah but
b.) How many games is he going to play compared to a solid O-line guy.
I just see it as a solid offensive lineman is going to play through 3 or 4 feature backs in his career and a good one will make each one of them look better. Not to mention extending Ben's career if we can keep him from taking so many hits.

good point on the OL
take a look
underclassmen
I agree with you on a lack of trust in Mahan and I really hope they do end up taking a center in the second or third. Most mocks I've seen don't have a center taken at all in the first so the Steelers should have several to choose from in the second.
heh,

How about this guy as a power back
And you have to love the first line of his bio:
Ok maybe I'm getting carried away but this is a guy who we should be able to get with a second day pick. Anyone interested in that?
