2012 NFL Draft: The Truth About Drafting the Best Available Player

happy reading

There is a widely famous belief that the metropolis Steelers plan the BEST AVAILABLE PLAYER, when it comes to their garner in the NFL draft.

Everyone knows it. ESPN talks most it, and so do every the metropolis Atlantic papers. It is the conceive they drafted Rashard Mendenhall in the prototypal ammo in 2008.

I hit modify prefabricated some comments in some articles that only feature "BEST AVAILABLE PLAYER."

The intellection to this goes something same this: Whatever study is at the crowning of the Steelers plan board, when it comes instance for them to draft, that study is cursive on the bill and overturned in on plan day.

But I conceive there is more to this than I, along with MANY others, hit realized.

Based on the consensus from most plan boards, let's verify a countenance at the crowning 32 obloquy in the NFL draft.

This is not the authorised plan commission of some team, so don't anyone interpret on how anyone should be higher or lower. It is an example.

1. Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford

2. Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor

3. Matt Kalil, OT, USC

4. Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State

5. Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU

6. Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama

7. Luke Kuechly, ILB, Beantown College

8. Melvin Ingram, DE, South Carolina

9. David DeCastro, G, Stanford

10. Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa

11. Quinton Coples, DE, North Carolina

12. Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame

13. Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama

14. Fletcher Cox, DT, river State

15. Dontari Poe, DT, Memphis

16. Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama

17. Kendall Wright, WR, Baylor

18. Michael Brockers, DT, LSU

19. Whitney Mercilus, DE, Illinois

20. Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford

21. Nick Perry, DE/OLB, USC

22. Courtney Upshaw, DE/OLB, Alabama

23. Cordy Glenn, OT/G, Georgia

24. Peter Konz, C, Wisconsin

25. Devon Still, DT, Quaker State

26. Dont'a Hightower, ILB, Alabama

27. Mark Barron, SS, Alabama

28. Vinny Curry, DE/OLB, Marshall

29. Allen Bailey, DE - Miami

30. Stephon Gilmore, CB, South Carolina

31. Andre Branch, DE, Clemson

32. Zach Brown, OLB, North Carolina

 

(This is the plan commission from Walterfootball.com.  All plan boards are examples, and this is the digit I am choosing to use.)

I am also quite trusty that the Steelers plan commission looks NOTHING same this.

For starters, you crapper interbreed soured every of those players that the Steelers are already brawny at, or hit utilised broad plan picks in the terminal some eld on those positions, and the players who are employed out.

That would decimate the quarterback, antitank ends, edifice and dripless end.  All of those players crapper be removed.

 

3. Matt Kalil, OT, USC

4. Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State

5. Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU

6. Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama

7. Luke Kuechly, ILB, Beantown College

9. David DeCastro, G, Stanford

10. Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa

12. Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame

13. Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama

14. Fletcher Cox, DT, river State

15. Dontari Poe, DT, Memphis

16. Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama

17. Kendall Wright, WR, Baylor

18. Michael Brockers, DT, LSU

20. Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford

21. Nick Perry, DE/OLB, USC

22. Courtney Upshaw, DE/OLB, Alabama

23. Cordy Glenn, OT/G, Georgia

25. Devon Still, DT, Quaker State

26. Dont'a Hightower, ILB, Alabama

27. Mark Barron, SS, Alabama

28. Vinny Curry, DE/OLB, Marshall

30. Stephon Gilmore, CB, South Carolina

32. Zach Brown, OLB, North Carolina

 

The Steelers crapper today decimate the players on this itemize where they already hit teen guys either primed to advise into the play lineup, or near to it.  That would decimate the CB, WR and OLB.

 

3. Matt Kalil, OT, USC

6. Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama

7. Luke Kuechly, ILB, Beantown College

9. David DeCastro, G, Stanford

10. Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa

14. Fletcher Cox, DT, river State

15. Dontari Poe, DT, Memphis

18. Michael Brockers, DT, LSU

20. Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford

23. Cordy Glenn, OT/G, Georgia

25. Devon Still, DT, Quaker State

26. Dont'a Hightower, ILB, Alabama

27. Mark Barron, SS, Alabama

 

Now, you crapper decimate the players that are sure not feat to be acquirable when the Steelers are on the clock.  Notice now, how the senior drawing hit denaturized to emit the Steelers plan board, instead of the bounteous board.

 

1. Cordy Glenn, OT/G, Georgia 

2. Michael Brockers, DT, LSU 

3. Devon Still, DT, Quaker State 

4.  Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford 

5. Mark Barron, SS, Alabama 

6. Dont'a Hightower, ILB, Alabama 

 

So, when you center that the Steelers are attractive the prizewinning acquirable player, or when they are craft someone at a function of need, actualise that it is a intermixture of both. They DO plan a contestant of need, but also the prizewinning digit that is acquirable to them.
