Chuck's draft 1.0

[Chucktownsteeler]

First attempt:

Round 1.) Leighton Vander Esch - Boise ST - ILB - His stock is rising, he may not be there. Evans is the man they want but he probably won't be there. 
Round 2.) Jessie Bates III - Wake Forest S - Tomlin has a huge crush on this guy. 
Round 3.) Josey Jewell - Iowa - ILB - Kid's a tackling machine and ST demon. More bodies are needed at ILB. 
Round 5.) Royce Freeman - Oregon - RB - Not sure how our stable of RBs are always depleted. We'll need to draft one this year and spend a high pick on one next year. The party's over, this is Bell's last season in Pittsburgh. 
Round 6.) Josh Frazier - Alabama DL - More depth need, McCullers is gone. 
Round 7.) Armani Watts - Texas A&M - S - more secondary upgrades needed and a St'er. DHB is probably gone.

Surprised you didn't sneak Jerome Baker in there in the 3rd round...

With the recent signing Mock 2.0 will be required.

Nothing against 247 sports, but I use the official NFL site.   The Steelers choices:

Rd 1, Pick 28 (28)  
Rd 2, Pick 28 (60)  
Rd 3, Pick 28 (92)  
Rd 5, Pick 11 (148)  
Rd 5, Pick 28 (165)  
Rd 7, Pick 2 (220)  
Rd 7, Pick 28 (246)

So, to restate: 1, 2, 3, 5, 5, 7, 7

Well, I'm will be doing 2.0 soon, so I'll add the picks. With the recent signings really makes this draft tough to predict.

With the recent signings of the 2 new Killer B's the Steelers draft has been blown wide open. Although both are short term fixes it does allow them to think more of the BPA now. 


Round 1.) Vita Vea - NT Washington. This will strengthen the Steelers up the middle. I see mock's having him go mid-round but I think he drops. Good value pick here and we finally say good riddance to Dan McCullers. 

Other Round 1 options: Leighton Vander Esch - ILB, Mason Rudolph - QB, Calvin Ridley - WR
 
Round 2.) Jessie Bates III - Wake Forest S - Tomlin has a huge crush on this guy. This is our man, write it down.

Other Round 2 options: Hayden Hurst - TE, Christian Kirk - WR, Martinas Rankin - OT

Round 3.) Josey Jewell - Iowa - ILB - Kid's a tackling machine and ST demon. More bodies are needed at ILB. 

Other Round 3 options - Rasaad Penney - RB, Tim Settle - NT, Malik Jefferson, LB

Round 4 - No pick 

Round 5a.) Royce Freeman - Oregon - RB - Not sure how our stable of RBs are always depleted. We'll need to draft one this year and spend a high pick on one next year. The party's over, this is Bell's last season in Pittsburgh. 

Round 5b.) Chuckwuma Okarafor - OT Western Michigan - Need OL depth, good value here. 

Round 6.) Josh Frazier - Alabama DL - More depth need, as stated above McCullers is gone, body for develop on practice squad. 

Round 7a.) Noah Brown - Ohio State - WR - Can make the touch catch. Good ST'er, DHB is probably gone. 

Round 7b.) Shalom Luani - Washinton State - S - Make or break player, not much risk here. 

UDFA - Please, oh please let's sigh a punter to compete with Jordan Berry. One of the worst punters in the league last year.

uh vita is gone long gone. He won't get by the Chargers or Washington. as to the rest? I dunno. Esch will go a lot higher than number 28 in the second I think. We signed a safety and an inside linbacker. Not great players but it points to something else in the first round. If Gieseki is there I think they grab him
