.....I'm bored.
.....I'm really bored.
2013 Free Agents: RB Jonathon Dwyer(RFA)- tendered for original amount RB Rashard Mendenhall- resigned for good C2 WR Emmanuel Sanders(RFA)- 1st Round tender WR Antonio Brown(RFA)- 1st Round tender WR Mike Wallace- given the big bucks TE Heath Miller- resigned for decent C3 OG Ramon Foster- given backup deal OC Doug Legursky- given backup deal NT Casey Hampton- let go LB Stevenson Sylvester(RFA)- tendered for original amount LB Larry Foote- let go CB Keenan Lewis- given backup deal DB Ryan Mundy- given backup deal DB Will Allen- won't make it past 2012 camp
Parameters: 1. Steelers follow above free agency plan. 2. Steelers draft 32nd. 3. Steelers gain 5th round compensation pick for the loss of CB William Gay.
Selections: 1. ILB Shane Skov, Stanford Skov is the perfect ILB for the Steelers. He can run, hit, cover, and rush the passer. He can become the next buck in our defense, helping to anchor the middle for the next decade.
2. OLB Jacques Smith, Tennessee* I'm going to say that this guy is going to be one my favorite targets for the 2013. He is strong and a relentless pass rusher. Has a great build and I think could be a demon at OLB. With Harrison aging getting more talented edge rushers is a must.
3. RB Michael Dyer, Arkansas State* The once former Auburn Tiger transferred to Arkansas State due to a violation of team rules which ultimately resulted in Dyer losing his scholarship. Despite these facts, Dyer is one of the most talented runners in the nation and the Steelers would be lucky to get someone of his talent.
4. CB Desmond Trufant, Washington Trufant is a do it all CB: he can cover both the slot and boundary, and is no slouch in run support. Gives the Steelers a talented guy behind the current young guys on the roster.
5a. DB Prentiss Waggner, Tennessee Waggner is a talented ball hawk who has a real knack for making plays on the ball.
5b. QB Mike Glennon, North Carolina State Glennon is another one of my favorite prospects. He has the size, arm, and talent and compares well to Matt Ryan.
6. OT Dallas Thomas, Tennessee Thomas is a good candidate to become a swing tackle for the Steelers. He is athletic and can play either spot.
7. PK Caleb Sturgis, Florida Sturgis may not last this long, but only one kicker was drafted in this past draft.

pass rusher.
our defense needs pressure, and Harrison is not a spring chicken anymore. We need to load up on pass rushers and pray like mad that one of them hits

I'd love it if Deebo has 2 years. He's a monster. I'm not confident that Worilds or Carter can match that, or even come close. Hopefully I have shit on my face after they both blow up and get 10 sacks apiece. I'd be pleased. damn...6'4 268 and fast? DUIs....ugh...what's with kids these days...

I think the Steelers might blow our minds and take a QB in the first three rounds next year.
Other than that, ILB, FS, pass-rusher (can never have enough), CB (can never have enough bodies), possible #1 TE is Miller is to be lowballed or ditched. RB a possibility, depending on how it shakes out.
Next year would be a great year to package picks and move up. Four picks in the first 100 would be a good thing next year.

If Foote has a good season - I can see them resigning him.

At this time, I don't think Jacques Smith is a 2nd round talent. He has not yet truly blossomed as a pass rusher and hasn't yet developed into a guy that makes an impact on a daily basis. I'm not sure if he's even going to start in TN's new 3-4 defense. With TN switching, though, I think in future years we may start seeing more Vols in play for the Steelers defensive needs in the drafts.
Waggner is a very good player, in the pros he's one of those CB/FS hybrid types. Really fits the Steelers' scheme. His measurables don't adequate reflect the caliber of athlete or player he is, although he is not blindingly fast (for a DB) by any standard. Great ball skills, great knack for making plays.
