I might tweak a little between now and draft but this is pretty much it.

Feel free to tell me how I have failed humanity.

Interesting B2B. I respect the time and work you put into this, and I’m om board with most of it.
But just to be that guy...
I think you have Sony Michel a bit too low, and Deontay Burnett way too low.
Tim Settle, Rashaan Evans, Malik Jefferson too high.
Maurice Hurst ranked at the top of his position group raised an eye...and once again, I just don’t understand the Skai Moore love.
The one position where I totally disagree is TE...but I’ll wait 2 years before I say “ I told you so”, regarding Dallas Goedert...

I think Evans is about right. I just do not see much difference between him and Jefferson other than Evans is slower with better instincts.

I really, really like Deontay Burnett. I don't think he's a big deep threat guy-- although he's young and could develop more. I had trouble putting him above the guys just ahead of him-- but bear in mind, I think those WRs are all pretty close. The 1st 12 in yellow are all good, all have some flaw or limitations, I'd be happy with any of them in black and gold.

Tim Settle is a solid mid 2nd rounder for all the really connected people following the draft. He's underaged and plays low and he's a big guy who can move. I'm also of the opinion that it's a very thin DL class, once you get past the guys in green, so that moves him up some, too. In the actual draft, Settle will go before some of the guys I have in green.

As for Sony Michel being too low... I have him 4th, at about the same grade as Rojo. That's a late 1st/early 2nd. Do you think he's better than that? The only mildly debatable part is: Thing about Goedert is: offers more as an Inline guy and seam threatener than the others. That's before you get to his hands or anything else. I value guys with inline more than guys who are strictly move TEs. Who do you like at TE, Jobus?

I completely agree with you on Landry as the best edge player. I'd grab him at 1.28 in a heartbeat but something tells me the Cheats will grab him with their new pick. He just has such great bend and explosion off the edge. Immediate upgrade to Dupree.

Lorenzo Carter to me is 100% an ILB in the NFL. He doesn't have the natural lean and bend that I like from an edge guy against NFL tackles. I wouldn't even consider him for that role.

B2B, I know you hate Evans. I see all of the same flaws you do with him. But, LVE scares me. He's very lanky for today's NFL. I also don't see the quickness and explosion on the playing field when I look at the tape. I also question how willing he will be to take a pounding game after game.

It's hard to tell. Both LVE and Evans are one-year starters. At least LVE improved as the year went on, and played his best game last.

Thing is: I'm with Colbert on this... ILB class is not deep, and there are a lot of ???.
Edmunds: raw
LVE: tackler rather than hitter, one year starter
Evans: coverage, health
Carter: position projection, more athlete than football player
Nwosu: is he all-in for football? Is he inside or outside?
Skai Moore: fast enough? medicals
Warner: better fit at 4-3 SOLB? Instincts?
Malik Jefferson: smarts, fluidity
Shaquem: hand, can he get off blocks in interior?
Leonard: can he keep his weight up to 230? already added 40lbs in last two years.
Jermaine Carter, Andre Smith: too short?
Tegray Scales: too slow?

In my terms: he's a blitzer, not a rusher. I think he could give you some good edge snaps against certain matchups but he's better as an off-ball guy.

add Shaun Dion Hamilton to the list IF he passes the medicals. He will have the Shazier HIGS/wrist circumference crowd going nuts.

Shaun Dion Hamilton is a good player, but too small and way too injured.

Judging TEs is kinda tricky, because different teams look at different skill sets. Someone that the Steelers value, isn’t someone that the Pats might like...but of course, you know that.
I don’t think that there is a round one TE talent in this draft, but my favorite is, and you’re probably going to think I’m crazy, Ian Thomas. I think he has the potential to be a dynamic pro if he lands in the right system. He is going to improve off the charts. I’m not sure that the Steelers are right system.
I also like Gesicki, who I think will fit any system, and Hurst a bit less.
Of course, I could be totally wrong on Goedert...I know the experts are comparing him to Zach Ertz, but I see Maxx Williams.

You’re spot on concerning where Michel is likely to be drafted, I just would rank him ahead of both Jones and Guice. But I’m just splitting hairs...if the Steelers choose to go RB in the first, I’d b fine with any of those three. I just favor Michel.

Once again, I don’t study this stuff like some of you guys do, and I get a lot of tips on prospects from you and others. I just watch a lot of games during the season, and a lot of “highlight” snips, then form my own opinion. I’m certainly not married to my opinions. I pegged Ziggy Hood as a bust before the Steelers sprinted to the podium, and wanted no part of Jarvis Jones...in any round. I thought Mike Adams was going to be a long term answer at LT, and that LeVeon Bell was JAG...shows you what I know.
My most disliked player in this coming draft is Rashaan Evans. If the Steelers pull the trigger, I’ll root like hell for him to be great, even though I’m pretty sure he won’t be. I’m so-so on LVE. When you (and KC) talk about the slim ILB pool, I start wondering if the Steelers may not look at the spot in this draft. Ride with Bostic, and maybe someone they can pickup after cuts? Who knows?

Anyway...good stuff here guys. Very informative.
