Steelers Draft and Mel Kiper sucks thread!!

You're killing me dude, I already had 5 criteria to go through over 20 prospects. And I think I can adjust this after the combine when they officially get measured.

I wish someone would take WR, man that is going to be 40 players, same as CB, very deep draft.

 

Former DB. Physical. Compliment the running game.

 

2024 NFL Mock Draft: Round 3 – WalterFootball

Put the bong down dude 3 round mock. I have 10 immediate WTF comments with this one. I have a dozen more but here are the flagrant WTF did you smoke dude notes.
1. Jackson Powers-Johnson going in round 3
2.Talise Fugua lasting until pick 30.
3. Steelers taking an Edge rusher at 20.
4. Jerimiah Trotter to the Steelers at 51 passing on Edgerrin Cooper.
5. Malachi Corley not going in the first two days.
6. Jordan Burch going at 54, I like the prospect but 54 is a crack pipe dream especially since he didn't declare for the draft.
7. Joe Milton going at 70. LOL sure he is.,
8. Bralen Trice lasting until the end of day 2.
9. Rakestraw lasting until round 3
10. Kinchens going mid first.

 

Ranking 2023 NFL rookie classes after Year 1: Texans claim top spot; Packers, Rams and Lions crack top 10

The Steelers are number five. I thought they had some great picks.

 

All these mocks I am looking at, many instances they slot a RT Fuagua to the bears with their second pick. I mean do they not realize that Darnell Wright was drafted in 2023. Now if they say Alt or Fashanu, then ok, but Fuagua is RT only IMFO.

 

Steelers land 2 instant starters in new 2024 mock draft

Terrion Arnold at 20, not sure he will last.
Zac Frazier, rd. 2, same deal, not sure he will be there.

Pavelle: A Look The Steelers ILB And SAF Roster And 2024 NFL Draft Prospects - Steelers Depot

I agree with most of this, Depot's ILB and Safety board.

 

Tomlin loves him some MAC guys!!

 

I like TJ Tampa as well, but I think he is a late second guy. With Kahn though, he may move a chess piece or two and move out of the middle of one round if it makes sense.

 

not trying to sweat you like that, thought ILB would be a easy edit, no worries just don’t want the Steelers to go short again like Bush.

 

there usually is some kind of move, they have 2 4ths this year but no 5th. I think 2 5ths next year because of the green trade.

 

everything I’ve listened too so far thinks Fuagua is RT only as well.

 

Is it an old mock? Like before end of college season.
They’ve gotten so bad!!

 

That site has lost all of its street cred, my HFO

 

2024 NFL Mock Draft (UPDATED 2/13): Round 1 /Picks 17-32 /Round 2 /Round 3
Other 2024 Mock Drafts: Charlie Campbell (2/19)
Other 2025 Mock Drafts: Charlie Campbell (1/20)
(More links to previous NFL mock drafts at the bottom of this page)

 

Fugua is the 3rd OT on my board doubts he lasts until #20 IMHFO That but it would be my pick and alternate BPA is Terron Arnold CB Alabama.
JPJ getting picked by Eagles at 50, he won’t get past LA Chargers at 37 never mind mid 2nd. And I think at 22. Philly OC is in play because Kelce is winding down or might retire.
Steelers taking Chau Smith-Wade (cb wash. st.) @51 ???? passing on Edgerrin Cooper nope .
Steelers taking Ja’Lynn Polk @84 , I did not see TJ Tampa go so that would be my BPA

 

2024 NFL Two-Round Mock Draft: Vikings replace Kirk Cousins with J.J. McCarthy in Round 1

This mock has them taking Cooper at 51 and Fuaga at 20. I'm ok with that.

 

NFL.com DJ ‘s latest has us landing Quinyon Mitchell . I’m totally on board here.

Daniel Jeremiah: Toledo CB Quinyon Mitchell To Steelers Would Be 'Home Run Pick' - Steelers Depot

 

The latest not greatest mock.

1. Quinyon Mitchell CB Toledo (I am sold on this young man, he is this years version of Devon Witherspoon match him up with Porter and kick Peterson to Safety)
2. Graham Barton OL Duke (swiss army knife, can play 3 positions, shorter arms may kick him inside)
3. Malachi Corley WR Western Kentucky (knock off of Debo Samuel his YAC is off the charts and with Pickett throwing short passes, he fits)
4a. Jordan Travis QB Florida State (let him heal up, contingency if Pickett continues to stink)
4b. Trevin Wallace LB Kentucky (sideline to sideline maniac)
6. Logan Lee DL Iowa (sleeper pick, and Iowa guys come ready to play)
7. Trey Taylor S Air Force (Jim Thorpe Award winner projected as an UDFA but he's a hitter that can cover TE's)

 

So we need OL help, the Steelers released Chuks and now Mason Cole Today. I can see us double dipping on the OL.

Need a pure center, and if Jones stays at RT then we just need depth, don’t think Moore can play RT.
