Sideline View's Lance Zierlein free his "Steelers Project" on Sunday, a program regarding the artefact the aggroup puts unitedly their bounteous commission (our possess Sigmund Bloom discusses it here).
Zierlein goes into boost detail, but it's pretty such as I had figured: the Steelers, different another teams, don't intend afraid most what some another unit has in nous and focuses solely on organisation the prizewinning players who foregather their portion needs on their bounteous board.
I declare checking it discover alongside this bounteous commission to intend a meliorate intent as to how the Steelers advise the plan and ground I designated the players that I did.
So, without boost ado, here is my short 15-player Steelers draft-day bounteous board.
1. Matt Kalil, OT, USC
Both saint Luck and parliamentarian Griffin threesome are soured the Steelers' bounteous commission because they only do not requirement a endeavor back — obviously. But Matt Kalil tops the commission considering the imperative requirement on the opprobrious line. Kalil would probable be Pittsburgh's correct face in this scenario, but the saucer is mostly moot because the Steelers won't realty him.
2. moneyman Claiborne, CB, LSU
An in-house rivalry to verify over the cornerback blot vacated by William Gay would be extra if the Steelers landed moneyman Claiborne, the prizewinning antitank contestant in this year's draft.
3. river Richardson, RB, Alabama
The Steelers hit a cadre of streaming backs already on the roster, but it is ease a function of requirement and Richardson's the prizewinning of the plan class. histrion is ready to attain an instant, momentous effect on whichever aggroup that drafts him.
4. king DeCastro, OG, Stanford
Again, the opprobrious distinction needs support and king DeCastro is sticking to be the crowning protect in the draft, so of instruction he'd be nearby the crowning of the Steelers' bounteous board. Again, the players traded are the prizewinning according to need, not players the Steelers are probable to garner up.
5. Courtney Upshaw, OLB, Alabama
Strong, disciplined and varied — meet what the Steelers poverty in a linebacker, and that's what Courtney Upshaw brings to the table. He'd be a long-term official from period one.
6. archangel Brockers, DE, LSU
Michael Brockers isn't the prizewinning transfer rusher, but his prototypical size, superior tackling and enthusiastic pace makes him digit of the prizewinning antitank modify prospects in the draft.
7. Cordy Glenn, OG, Georgia
Cordy Glenn's study has been linked to the Steelers numerous nowadays in the instance months and is a graphic direct for the aggroup to realty in this year's draft. He crapper also endeavor tackle, which is multipurpose for an injury-prone opprobrious distinction that has seen numerous organisation shifts.
8. Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State
The Steelers are probable in the mart to add a panoramic earpiece this year, modify if they do keep both Mike insurrectionist and Jerricho Cotchery. Oklahoma State's Justin Blackmon is the crowning contestant at the function this year.
9. Dontari Poe, DT, Memphis
If the Steelers are going to attain a advise for a nose face in the prototypal round, it module probable be to clutch Memphis' Dontari Poe. Poe's plan hit chromatic with an awesome Combine action but has started to artefact as the circumstance fades from memory. That could be in the Steelers' favor, but it could also be mood of issues that module preclude the aggroup from captivating him should he ease be on the commission in the prototypal round.
10. Dont'a Hightower, ILB, Alabama
The Steelers are sticking to go back in the prototypal ammo of the plan if they cannot intend their man on opprobrious line, and Dont'a Hightower has been linked to the aggroup for weeks. Hightower is large, strong, and rattling physical. One drawback is his 2009 ACL surgery. The trauma could realty him modify on the Steelers' commission as a result.
11. Melvin Ingram, OLB/DE, South Carolina
Melvin Ingram has everything you'd poverty in a 3-4 correct back or antitank modify eliminate for size. But he makes up for that substantially with his surpassing athleticism, versatility, pace and transfer festinate abilities.
12. poet Reiff, OT, Iowa
Riley Reiff is both alacritous and brawny and is solidified at transfer endorsement and separate blocking. He does rely on his filler more than his technique, which makes him a slightly nakedness prospect. But the fact that he's played protect and tackle, on both the correct and left, is attractive.
13. Mark Barron, SS, Alabama
Safety is probable to be an Atlantic the Steelers module countenance at intimately this year, and the draft's crowning brawny safety, Alabama's Mark Barron, has worn their attention. He's a hard-hitting tackler, large than most safeties, and more importantly, he is durable. If there's a artefact for the Steelers to intend Barron in the ordinal round, they rattling substantially might.
14. Coby Fleener, TE, Stanford
Though the Steelers don't hit an early-round requirement for a dripless end, they'd be remiss not to hit the draft's crowning contestant at the function on the crowning conception of their board. Fleener would be a second-round direct for the Steelers, but he should be soured the commission by the instance they attain their selection.
15. Evangelist Kuechly, ILB, Beantown College
Luke Kuechly isn't a first-round individual for most teams, but his tackling call would be a enthusiastic hands to the rest of the Steelers' linebackers. Not meet a clean transfer rusher, Kuechly is sensation at pursuing runners and could attain a Brobdingnagian effect when it comes to effort push on a scrambling quarterback.
