Per the Depot, only two players out of the 30 in house visits available are scheduled:

OT Dawand Jones/Ohio St

DT Gervon Dexter/Florida

I'll update as more are scheduled or completed

The right trench workers can make a difference. With these two being scheduled, It appears the STEELERS are headed in the right direction.

Good for them and historically the STEELERS have made full use of the in house visits.


Salute the nation

I am thinking DJ is in 2A range and Dex round 3.

Remember Ian, players from schools within 50 miles of PIT do not count towards the 30. So they can interview several players from Pitt Univ, Robert Morris or even Duquesne without costing slots.

I don't know about yinz but I do get the trenches vibe this draft coming from the Steelers. Compared to a LBer and RB vibes of years past.

I would be shocked to not see one of each of the trenches between the first 5 picks. Round 1 -4.

Oh I know, I started writing that caveat but then figured everyone should pretty much know that by now and left it out.

I’d like to see 2 of the first three and 3 of the first 4 be trenches.

REALITY is you are probably right. If a stud OT is there in the first, I take him.

I still think Drew Sanders in the 3rd could easily happen, that’s not a bad pick either.

I would be ok with Ringo at 32. Not as down on him as some fans.

Big upside, but like Bresee, the boom-bust players in the first or second round is an area I'd like to avoid.

I'd love to come away with Darnell Wright at 32 and JMS at 49.

 

[ianv2012]

Not sure if it's a confirmed in-house visit that makes him one of the 30. I will update the OG post once it's confirmed.

 

[Stryker]

Yay! John Michael (Jingleheimer) Schmitz!!!

 

[madinsomniac]

Great mid round target

 

[Drink IRON City]

We definately can use competition at Center, it desn’t hurt to keep kicking the tires.

Per the Depot, S Daniel Scott/Cal, has an in-house visit scheduled with the Steelers. An interesting day 2..maybe day 3 prospect. Showed incredible athleticism in testing. He's listed as a FS, so do the Steelers see a possibility of him moving to SS?

Bresee is to raw vs the run to draft as a nt,he could be another Hargrave drafted to play nt but better as a rusher and poor vs the run and get unseaten by a back up.
The only way it would have meant to keep Javon was to use him as a de and a 3t but back then we didn't run the big nickel as much. I am fine with Branch as he is a S and Slot CB rather have him in the slot rather than Maulet.
I really hope we take Mazi Smith or Bennett.

I think if Bresee were the pick he'd be a 5 tech, not a NT, they'd rotate him ogunjobi, Heyward, and Leal. I would think ogunjobi in that situation would get more nose looks rotating with Adams. Of course they could always double dip at DL and take a 5 tech type and a nose type. There are several guys in this draft that can play a NT role in our defense. Keeanu Benton, Gervon Dexter, Keondre Coburn, Jarrod Clark, Broderic Martin, Nesta Jade Silvera. I think double dipping at DL is likely anyways

Kind of strange for a top 30 visit. He will be 25 in October and reportedly wasn't the greatest tackler, I guess a decent nickle but surprised they brought him in.
