Ryan Anderson(Alabama)
James Connor(Pitt)

I can see these two as Steelers players. Anderson can be like Woodley, he has the size and strength. James Connor, an underrated RB, beat cancer and I'm sure the Steelers get to see this kid at the UPMC complex. Team needs

I haven't watched too much college ball this season to make a list. But I hope the Steelers take these two

[TDX27]

I would take this draft. The guys I had been looking at in round 1, Taco and McKinley weren't available. After watching Ju Ju in the Rose Bowl, I just can't pass on him in the 2nd. A big WR with speed that can high point and catch the ball. Imagine that for Ben and to team with AB!

Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 30: T.J. Watt, OLB, Wisconsin (B)
Round 2 Pick 30: JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, Southern California (A)
Round 3 Pick 30: Kevin King, CB, Washington (B)
Round 4 Pick 29: Dawuane Smoot, DE, Illinois (B)
Round 5 Pick 29: Ahkello Witherspoon, CB, Colorado (A-)
Round 5 Pick 36: James Conner, RB, Pittsburgh (A+)
Round 6 Pick 29: Charles Walker, DT, Oklahoma (A+)
Round 7 Pick 30: Ahmad Thomas, FS, Oklahoma (B+)

 

[TDX27]

This draft went a little different direction since one of the top 2 rated CB's (pre-combine) was available. That and Ju Ju in the 2nd. I doubled up on OLB/DE's in 3 and 4. Smoot is a steal in the 4th from what I have read on him. In both my drafts, I picked DT Walker. He is rated as one of the best and would be a steal, especially in 5 or 6. But, his concussion and leaving the team need to seriously be explored.

Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 30: Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State (A+)
Round 2 Pick 30: JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, Southern California (A)
Round 3 Pick 30: Jordan Willis, DE, Kansas State (B+)
Round 4 Pick 29: Dawuane Smoot, DE, Illinois (B)
Round 5 Pick 29: James Conner, RB, Pittsburgh (A+)
Round 5 Pick 36: Charles Walker, DT, Oklahoma (A-)
Round 6 Pick 29: Chad Hansen, WR, California (A)
Round 7 Pick 30: Treston DeCoud, CB, Oregon State (B+)

Don't know how realistic this may be, but here goes. Used Fanspeak:

Rd1: Teez Tabor-CB, Florida
Rd2: Carl Lawson-EDGE, Auburn
Rd3: Eddie Jackson-S, Alabama
Rd4: Juju Smith-Schuster-WR, USC
Rd5: James Conner-RB, Pitt
Rd5: Josh Carraway-EDGE, TCU
Rd6: Channing Stribling-CB, UofM

I think I'd be just fine with this draft, but highly doubt it falls this way.

[TDX27]

This is a crazy draft. One of the top CB's was there and I went with the assumption we picked up an edge rusher in FA. This could shore up our secondary for 5 to 10 years. And, it gives Ben even more weapons to work with. That and some sleeper later round edge rushers to solidify that area. Not my favorite draft but interesting if we do pick up a FA edge rusher.

[TDX27]

They recently changed their individual grades on players. My guess is they will do so again shortly after the combine. I had players getting an A before that are now B's or C's and vice versa.
