Very good writeup.

Great info.

So, if you had to build a mock Steelers draft using only those players listed, and overdraft in spots (or at least only pick a guy when you think he has a better than 50% shot at being there) what would your draft look like?

I don’t follow college ball enough myself, but after reading these evals, I can’t help thinking “Gee, Mike Adams at 24 could work”, “Ta’amu in the second, or if he’s gone maybe Mike Martin in the fourth “ and so on.

What do you think?

Where was Worthy from Mich. State??

Not in the Senior Bowl, he's an underclassman. I referenced him from the Michigan State vs Ohio State game earlier this year.

The Steelers have drafted a Junior in the first round in 5 of the last 8 drafts, so don't expect them to load up on just Seniors in April.


If I had to put a round on the players the Steelers may be interested in from these games I'd say:
1. Mike Adams, OT / Cordy Glenn, OL / Kevin Zeitler, OG
2. Alameda Taamu, NT /. Bobby Wagner, ILB / Kelechi Osemele, OL / Brandon Boykin, CB / Shea McClellin, OLB
3. Joe Adams, WR / Brandon Brooks, OG / Juron Criner, WR / Josh Norman, CB / Keenan Robinson, ILB
4. Mike Martin, NT / Jarius Wright, WR / Emmanuel Acho, ILB / Nigel Bradham ILB
5. Kyle Wilber, OLB / Devon Wylie KR/WR / Tank Carder ILB
6/7. Akiem Hicks DT

Thanks for the info Perch. As much as I appreciate all the articles on this site, I really appreciate the ones in the long and boring offseason. Can't wait for the draft.

That's how I would like the first four rounds to go down if those players are there.

I quite agree smith. Add FS Aaron Henry in the 5th and pick up Hicks in the 6th and that draft would be another great success for the Steelers. IMO
