The OL is deep this year in tackles and for once there's a center worth the 20th pick. Our OL is a mess. There is not one man I consider a decent starter. Maybe Moore will turn out okay. Spend the first and third round pick here. And let's not forget we have a 4th round comp pick this year and a 6th round comp pick for Ingram.

Trade Claypool? Not unless we get a first round pick for him, he was not used much this year due to Ben's arm and having to get rid of the football before he could break loose. Those 5 yard passes sucked.

Focus on receiver and LB is round 4-6.

are you saying the Draft is deep in tackles or our OL is deep in Tackles?

Yes both. He likes to cover all his bases. What is deep-ly disturbing is his draft analysis. We are talking Adele rolling in the deep deep here.
 
I'd like to bring a vet C, there's only One instant starter at C in this draft and I wouldn't risk it that some other team picks him before the 20th.

Also if a CB like Green is there I would seriously consider it. We couldn't **** up every drafted DB, can we?
 
Last year's draft was much deeper at center. There are maybe 3-4 first-round guys in this draft and then a drop off. There was a first-round caliber center last year. The Steelers chose to pass on all of the above and now with three young guys on the roster, I think they would probably be wise to go the veteran route.
 
Considering that Tombert built the current OL through the draft, including making an average college guard a starting NFL center and hired an OL coach from a team that did not have a very good OL, I have zero faith in the team's ability to accomplish that.
