Konz is a favourite of mine and I agree - Martin and Konz would a sensational first round.

I didnt include Konz as he is currently rated around #22 and I think he will be gone. Zeitler is the insurance if Konz is gone. Your opinion of Poe is a bit like mine with Cordy Glenn. I think they are a lot bigger / heavier than what fits the steeler profile for their respective positions.

I personally think that grabbing Mike Wallace is a much better prospect for some teams than risking a first rounder on an unproven commodity.

db...I like your mock, but when I see that "starting" O-line, well, very risky to say the least.
A second year player who was spotty at best at RT, moving to the left side. Then plugging in a rookie next to him, I like Zeitler a lot, but thats a big gamble. Then a pro bowl center who has had his share of injury problems so far in his short career. The right side is a train wreck waiting to happen. I'm not one of those with blinders on about Foster. The coaching staff tried their best to replace him last camp for a reason. He may not suck as much as Hills, Legs, etc., but he sucks nonetheless! I want no part whatsoever of Jon Scott starting for any length of time.
Then the top back-ups are a try hard guy, who is over matched physically 80% of the time he's on the field, and a guy we have no clue to how NFL ready he is.
That's just a shaky line IMO.
Think about this...one Pouncey ankle turn, and a Jon Scott shitfest from a starting line of Gilbert, Zeilter, Legs, Foster, Turner...ouch!

The RFA situation has changed dramatically.

The Steelers are also in a unique situation because they're doing ok at WR. I could live with AB / Sanders / Cotchery, if it meant overhauling the o-line basically overnight.

I understand what your saying, but compare that line to the 'projected 5 now'.

Gilbert (LT), Kemo (LG), Pouncey (C), Foster (RG), Colon (RT)

Many would love the opportunity to replace both Kemo & Colon.
Throw Martin & Konz into the o-line mix. Konz should make you feel better about both your guard & center positions. Martin gives you another needed tackle, hopefully a LT, at least more competition at the position. And most likely better talent than Colon / Scott.

Maybe Tomlin, Kugler & Haley start fresh;

Martin / Konz / Pouncey / Colon / Gilbert

I would be quite upset if we really picked that early and grabbed the wrong OL from Stanford

Judging by most recent performance. I'm not sure we could pick o-line just as well as the FO.

But seriously, do you think either is not a 1st round selection. DeCastro / Martin

And by all means, plug in the right combination. DeCastro / Adams ?

Point being, the Wallace pick could be monumental to the offense and team overall.

TB, your pretty high on Ta'amu & Davis?

Both Poe & Ta'amu scare me a little @ 24.
