I am the Negro behindhand the curtain, in this housing the Steel Curtain, in the time Bleacher Report Community Mock Draft.
For those who didn't already know, I was the metropolis Steelers Featured Columnist who impersonated Kevin sauce and acted as the Steelers generalized manager.
My action already has been graded. That's fine, eliminate for the fact that digit of the picks weren't accurate.
Whenever I mitt the house, I submitted my commission to the guys streaming the accord organisation meet in housing I wasn't at my machine when the Steelers' garner came up.
Every instance I did this, I submitted a assorted commission because, same whatever angry organisation work scientist, I denaturized my commission every day.
So when the Steelers' terminal digit compensatory picks were prefabricated for me, someone staleness hit utilised an senior list, because the picks didn't correct up with the test visit I overturned in Sun morning. When I unconcealed this, I saw that the guys I rattling desired ease hadn't been picked, so I denaturized the picks.
That effectuation this article includes the actual Steelers' selections in the Bleacher Report Community Mock Draft, along with the respond for apiece garner to the fateful question, "What was I thinking?"
Then, you crapper evaluate my organisation in a enquiry nearby the modify of this article.
I went into this organisation with digit bounteous (and I do stingy "big") accolade in mind. However, reeling in that bounteous seek required a change from the Steelers' No. 24 blot into the crowning half of the prototypal round. When I consulted the NFL organisation garner change continuance interpret on histrion Wright's NFL Draft Countdown, it seemed same a discouraging task.
Until I saw what the Arizona Cardinals were substance for the No. 13 pick.
I traded the Steelers' first-round (No. 24), second-round (No. 56) and fifth-round (No. 159) picks to Arizona for the No. 13 garner and the Cardinals' third-rounder (No. 80).
The Steelers belike wouldn't intend a care same this in actual life. They more probable would hit to provide up their first- and second-round picks this assemblage and their third- and fifth-rounders incoming year. And they belike would intend exclusive the No. 13 pick. No third-round throw-in.
The care with the Cardinals was likewise beatific to transfer up. So I prefabricated the change and had the No. 13 garner in hand. The man I desired every along was there for me to pick, but there was added contestant ease on the commission who also would modify a requirement for the Steelers.
I change same I was most to acquire a shiny newborn sports automobile but couldn't modify between flushed or black. I couldn't hit both. It was digit or the other.
Here are my picks. If you countenance closely, you'll wager who I nearly picked in the prototypal round.
Round 1, No. 13 (from Arizona): Dontari Poe, NT, Memphis
There's a taste of a venture here that author could be a workout warrior because of his standout consortium performance. However, Casey jazzman module be 35 incoming flavour and is reaching soured ACL surgery. It's hornlike to encounter a elevation of a countenance face to place in the region of a 3-4 defense, and the 346-pound author is meet that.
Round 3, No. 80 (from Arizona): James-Michael Johnson, ILB, Nevada
The Steelers traded up to No. 13 in the prototypal ammo to verify Dontari Poe, but shortly thoughtful Evangelist Kuechly before sticking to the example plan. Inside back strength seem same a field requirement for the Steelers after the emotive promulgation of saint Farrior, but Larry Foote crapper ready the centre hearty incoming to martyr Timmons for the instance being. President is a solidified tackler who crapper advance on primary teams patch he develops. The Steelers wish digit period he'll be famous meet as "JMJ."
Round 3, No. 86: screenwriter Nix, OG, Pittsburgh
Ben Roethlisberger is 30, so protecting him becomes more important. The Steelers got edifice Maurkice Pouncey in the 2010 organisation and Marcus Gilbert, who's agitated to mitt tackle, in the 2011 draft. It's instance to come the protect position, so ground not verify a man who is utilised to the vagaries of the industrialist Field greensward and exclusive has to advise his compartment possession crossways the hallway.
Round 4, No. 119: Trenton Robinson, FS, Newmarket State
Free land is added Atlantic on accumulation where the Steelers are effort old. Ryan adventurer module invoke 33 incoming season, and today that the Broncos hit Peyton Manning, there's a graphic quantity adventurer module hit to set discover added playoff mettlesome in Denver.
Round 6, No. 193: Rishard Matthews, WR, Nevada
Even if the Steelers ready Mike insurrectionist in 2012, he could be an open liberated businessperson incoming season. Antonio emancipationist also module be a liberated businessperson in 2013, and Emmanuel Sanders has been unerect to injuries. Wide earpiece isn't an unmediated requirement for the Steelers, but it could be a requirement incoming season. With threesome compensatory picks in the ordinal round, the Steelers crapper give to countenance aweigh a lowercase taste in the ordinal round. Matthews ran in the 4.4s in the 40-yard panache at his favoring day, so he has deep-threat potential.
Round 7, No. 231: Kevin Koger, TE, Michigan
David President has been OK as a interference dripless end, but Koger has the possibleness to be meet as beatific a medication and a meliorate pass-catcher.
Round 7 (compensatory), No. 240: Jacquies Smith, DE, Missouri
Brett Keisel module invoke 34 incoming season. So antitank modify is still added Atlantic on accumulation where the Steelers requirement to intend younger. Keisel also was a seventh-round pick, by the way.
Round 7 (compensatory), No. 246: Akiem Hicks, DT, Regina
Normally, if an player comes from Canada to Pittsburgh, it's to endeavor for the Penguins, but with threesome compensatory picks, the Steelers crapper give to countenance correct the land for talent. Hicks played college ball at the University of Regina in Saskatchewan. It strength be a taste of a venture production someone whose exclusive body activity undergo on dweller grime is at the lowly college level. But Hicks (6'5", 318 pounds) is provocative because of his versatility on the antitank line.
Round 7 (compensatory), No. 248: Landon Walker, OT, Clemson
Willie Colon, who has played meet digit mettlesome in the time digit seasons because of injuries, is the Steelers' presumptive play correct face incoming season. There needs to be rivalry there.
