DL- Travis Jones would make a nice NT to replace Alualu in 2023 while he can ease into the starting role over the 2022 season.
Logan Hall would make a nice replacement for Heyward one day or perhaps an insurance policy if Tuitt ends up not coming back.

OL- Bernhard Rainmann is a native Austrian that is really just learning the game and position as he was a TE that converted to OT. That said his pff grade has gone from 47.7, to 75.1 to 94.6 this last year and finished his last 6 collegiate games without giving up so much as a QB pressure. That said he’s short armed and needs a little more sand in his pants.
Abraham Lucas checks all the physical boxes with height, weight, arm length and athleticism. But wasn’t very consistent in his pass protection and imo is going to always be a RT.

WR- Skyyy Moore is a hometown kid that would probably have the same reaction and enthusiasm getting to come to Pittsburgh as Pickett did. Moore is a little undersized but has good straight speed and impressively large hands.
Christian Watson is going to check all the physical boxes at 6-4 208lbs and the sub 4.4 forty. Competition and he was a but inconsistent though in college.

LB- Leo Chenal imo would immediately improve our run defense as he graded 94.1 in run defense via pff. He also is one of the best interior blitzers I’ve seen come out of college in the last 20 years. I feel he’d take over in early downs allowing Jack and Bush to cover and let Leopold do the dirty work sifting through the trash. Big knock is he wasn’t asked to do much in coverage besides sit in his zone. But if you look at his athleticism he definitely has the ability. Just wasn’t asked to do it in college.

CB- Roger McCreary is one of the safest picks in my opinion. He reminds me a lot of Joe Haden. Might not be a super star but he’ll do his job and come up with a timely interception.
Andrew Booth Jr is much of the same. Put him out wide and he’ll start for the next ten years for you.

S- Jaquan Brisker played big when his team needed a big play. He’s super consistent and imo would compliment Fitz very well.
Jalen Pitre is a bit of a swiss army knife. He plays all over the field and has a nose for the ball.
Kerby Joseph is my personal favorite atm. Former wr turned DB who exploded onto the scene with 5 picks this last year and grading out at a 90.4 according to pff. He’s an ascending player for sure.
 
not sure if Moore will be there

Would love the pick to be Logan Hall, but I think he will be gone also, if not he is definitely worth the pick

NT or ILB help would be next on my list
 
Agreed, Logan Hall would be top of the list but he will gone in the first 10 picks of RD2. Travis Jones and Leo Chanel possibly.
 
Brisker played injured a good bit of last season and that hurt his tackling abilities. He would be a good pick-up if he's still there but we need DL and WR.
 
as if you know anything about any of the others
Says the guy who thinks that we should have passed on KP for a DT because we could roll with Glitch Trublosky instead . Good call on your part, Cookie. How'd that pan out for ya?

Derp.

we won't know how it works out until the kid hits the field. I have already stated I hope he succeeds and brings home #7 and more....

Says the guy with Pickett ballz deep down his throat. Good Lord, give it a rest. We get it...He's the ******* savior for all of us to behold!! "B i t c h Tribspewski is trash and should verbally thank Pickett for being allowed in the same zip code on game days.

Thanks for the analysis, Ford. BPA at any of those positions, but it's frustrating how they always disappear before the Steelers pick.
 
No, but you can hear, " Oh my g-d they killed Kenny! When he drops back to pass benind our OL.
 
Any thoughts on Kyler Gordon CB?

Wanted him in 2 from the beginning. A mold of athletism at a school that has a lot of success at the position. Definitely still on my radar.

Now that I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express for Scouts recently, I like his explosiveness and his numbers at the combine were impressive.

I think he'd be a good fit, physical as well.
 
As much as I would like to trade up for Nakobe Dean at the top of the second round, I think getting a Wide Receiver next is more important.
Pickens would appear to be the best fit.

Nick Cross, Safety, Maryland, in the third (if he lasts that long).
