New 7 round to mock

My mock along:

1. Vega Ioane OG.
2. Germie Bernard or Chris Bell WR
3a. Darrell Jackson JR DL
3b. Jeremiah Trotter ILB
3c. Bud Clark S
4a. Drew Aller QB
4b. Keagen Trost OT

Final thoughts:
- got a proven 1st round talent in Vega to be an immediate starter and make the interior OL a force for the team.
- we get one of the best WRs of the 2nd tier with either option in the 2nd round.
- 3rd round consists of a high ceiling DT, solid LB and S with leadership and enforcer attitudes.
- in the 4th we get a shot at a future franchise QB (talent wise) and a high floor OT that can fight for a starting spot eventually

Like it but Allar won't make the 3rd round. Would love to see Vega, Germie, and then trade back into the 2nd and grab Allar.

1.21 Dillon Thieneman, S, Oregon
I really value premium positions in the first, but Thieneman is a highly-rated prospect with crazy athleticism. He also fills a huge position of need for the Steelers defense.

2.53 Germie Bernard, WR, Alabama
One of my favorite day 2 WR prospects, he should fit in well with what the Steelers already have.

3.76 Darrell Jackson Jr., DT, Florida State
I think the DL needs one more piece, so here it is.

3.85 Jalen Farmer, OG, Kentucky
He can challenge for a starting spot as a rookie.

3.99 Josiah Trotter, LB, Missouri
NFL bloodlines, downhill run stopper. He should fit very well in Graham's defense.

4.121 Drew Allar, QB, Penn State
It seems like the Steelers are going QB in the 3rd or 4th. Allar is the guy in this draft.

4.135 Chandler Rivers, CB, Duke
Experienced CB who will compete for a spot as a NCB.

5.161 Malin Klein, TE, Michigan
The Steelers need a TE3.

6.216 Jam Miller, RB, Alabama
One more depth piece at RB

7.224 J. Michael Sturdivant, WR, Florida
Some additional size at WR for the bottom of the depth chart.

7.230 Jayden Williams, OT, Ole Miss
Always try to draft a tackle in every draft.

7.237 Patrick Payton, EDGE, LSU
No expectations, just finding another player to compete for a roster spot at EDGE.

I think he will be there, and may be there early in the 4th. Just about every projection I'm seeing on Allar has him going in the 125-140 range. Some have him going as low as #176.

A second is WAY too high for a project. This team needs guys who will contribute soon, not overpriced projects.

Not sure Jackson makes it to #76. If he doesn't another guy to watch for in the 3rd is Domonique Orange.

5 days away! I do hope they go deline and oline 1 and 2. Maybe trade back into the 1st ?
12 draft picks won't make this team. Trade up this year or stock pile picks for next year

1 OLAIVAVEGA IOANE G- Hard not to go with Vega.

2. Keionte Scott- Inside Corner- like this kids game a lot.

3. Kyle Louis IlBer- focusing in on players I see starting sooner than later.

3B GENESIS SMITH - FS - I like this kids range I think he will be a solid FS when it is all said and done.

3C BRYCE LANCE NORTH DAKOTA STATE WR- Speed and bloodline. I think he will fit right in at 3 nicely.

4.Jeff Caldwell WR- Elite size/speer/RAS to add to the room

5 ELI HEIDENREICH NAVY RB/WR - This guy can do a little bit of everything. At worst adds a 5th capable body at WR- Maybe a jet sweep gadget player. Tested well at the combine and is a Pittsburgh boy.

6 BEAU STEPHENS -IOWA G- wasn’t going going to double up at G but thought he was great value in 6.

7 TRAVIS BURKE MEMPHIS T - Throw in this big boy in the 7th . Would be a nice depth addition.

7B- David Gusta Kentucky · DT ·
I would probably try to get a 6th next year but anywho here it is.

7C LATRELL MCCUTCHIN SR. HOUSTON CB

- give Coolie’s boy a chance here last Mccutchin in Pittsburgh did pretty well. Yeah I know it is E not i. Coolie doesn’t know how to spell anyways.

​

Would love the Steelers to get Josiah Trotter if he's still there at #76. Young guy with great instincts and the obvious successful blood lines.

"Hah, draft, you're so fat that you outweigh the needs of the many. You're so dumb it takes you two hours to watch 60 Minutes. Draft, you're so ugly your imaginary friends played with the neighborhood kids."

Sorry, Litos, you did not mean to actually mock the draft, but wanted my fake version. Here's my genuine mock without the mocking:

21. Dillon Thieneman
Oregon · S · Junior

53. Keylan Rutledge
Georgia Tech · OG

76. Kyle Louis
Pittsburgh · LB

85. Oscar Delp
Georgia · TE

99. Bryce Lance
North Dakota State · WR

121. Drew Allar
Penn State · QB

161. Rene Konga
Louisville · DT

216. Kendrick Law
Kentucky · WR

224. Travis Burke
Memphis · OT

230. Ephesians Prysock
Washington · CB

237. Logan Taylor
Boston College · OG

Thieneman a potentially elite FS. Extremely quick, great feet, excellent in coverage, fast enough to cover slot receivers. Had 6 interceptions as a freshman at Purdue so teams started avoiding him. Two picks last year for Oregon. Rutledge a very good guard, nice footwork, long arms for a guard. Asked to block in space by Georgia Tech and did a very solid job. Louis a hybrid, will help as a 3rd down backer to cover TE, okay vs. run. Delp just the best player on the board, accomplished blocker, very good hands.

Two WR's who fill the role of Z receivers, where Lance's size and speed make him a potential deep threat. Allar just because a 6'1" QB is going to struggle with the defensive lines in the AFCN and the potential issues with the OL. Konga has elite tools, long arms, great burst off the snap. He is going to fit in 3 and 5 technique, give Heyward and Harmon a series off. The later OT and OG drafted for potential, good physical traits. Prysock a tall, long-armed CB with speed. Project but cannot teach 6'3", 33" arms, 4.45 speed, 1.57 10-yard.

due to Jones' neck news...
