Final 2011 Mock Draft
Here is my final 2011 Mock Draft (trying to predict what will happen).

Keep up the great work Deljzc. It will take awhile to build the traffic on the blog. I miss the old board on Steeler.com. Any word on why they shut it down?
ReplyDeleteThe Steelers.com message boards is still active. You just have to go directly to the website:
ReplyDeletehttp://media3.steelers.com/fanzone/mboard/
You can also get their by searching on Google for "Steelers Message Board".
I have no idea why the link from the Steeler.com home page is gone, but the message board is alive and kicking.
What'd you think of the Steelers draft? The only picks I loved were Heyward and Carter. We'd better get 100 sacks, because the secondary didn't get much better.
ReplyDeleteI will be coming out with my annual Steelers Draft review in the next couple of weeks. You'll have to be patient as they are normally very detailed analysis.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a blog of my own. I respect your opinions, so I'll post my thoughts on the Steelers' draft here. I mostly evaluate picks on the basis of need, fit with the Steelers' schemes, and value.
ReplyDeleteRound 1 - Cam Heyward, DE: I like the value and the fit. I think Derek Sherrod was of a similar caliber an would have filled a bigger need at a premium position (Smith and Keisel were late-rounders), but I can't disagree too much with this pick. Grade: B+
Round 2 - Marcus Gilbert, OT: Probably the last starting-caliber LT on the board. He needs to work on technique, but has the tools to eventually succeed. Grade: B
Round 3 - Curtis Brown, CB: Superb pick, in terms of value and need. Grade: A
Round 4 - Cortez Allen, CB: A continuation of the Steelers' legacy of 4th round failures. I agree with the desire to bring in another CB. However, Brandon Burton and Davon House were more productive and played in better conferences. If they wanted a small school project, Curtis Marsh and Josh Thomas projected better. If the Steelers wanted him that badly, they could have gotten him at least two rounds later. I hope Allen proves me wrong, but I see him as another Keenan Lewis-esque failure. Grade: F
Round 5: Chris Carter, LB: Great fit, great value. Grade: A-
Round 6: Keith Williams, G: The Steelers have a truckload of mediocre guards. I think this pick should have been Jerrell Powe. Grade: D
Round 7: Baron Batch, RB: Redman is more than capable of being the 3rd down back, so this isn't a need pick. I would've rolled the dice on speedy RB Derrick Locke, DT Ian Williams, or LB Mark Herzlich. Grade: D
Overall, this is a typical Steelers draft. Most of these players will be riding the pine for at least a year, perhaps longer. It is the approach which has yielded them three Super Bowl appearances in the last 3 years. However, for a team that was so agonizingly close to winning it all last year, I'm disappointed the team didn't make a splash by trading up for Amukamara. I don't think the Steelers closed the gap on the Packers, or any of the other teams who will be gunning for the championship next year. Nonetheless, I am sure at least half of these picks will pan out in the future, and that's good enough for a B in my book.
3 Super Bowls in the last 6 years!
ReplyDeleteMan, I would have been thrilled with Pouncey-Dowling.
