K Trains Draft ideas

I would love to see us trade up this year, Im not sure we have enough ammo to do so with our current picks in 2008 but I wouldn't mind seeing up give up something in 2009 to get that OL we need. Hell we could even throw in a couple scrub players to sweeten the deal. We'd have to trade up to atleast probably the 15th spot to have a realistic shot at one of the top tackles if we wanted to really get a beast; depending on how things shake out. If there is a run on Tackles though we may not have choice but to trade up.

i think there is so much depth this year we will get quality either way...and theres some second-third round animals available too

Yeah I've been looking at all the prospects coming out and the potential is good even in the later rounds to get some realistically good players but Im so gun-shy from our day 2 drafting debacles that anything passed the 4th round scares me

With successes such as Marvin Phillip and Charles Davis I can't see why you are so scared of our Day 2 drafting.

agreed!!! Thats why i think Colbert is saying "We have the ability to draft any position -QB & TE!" I personally would like to see us go after Otah or Williams!!! Anybody after that your getting the 4 best "rated" tackle in the draft and passing on top tier players at other positions! I know there isnt alot of faith given to the rankings of players in the draft... but I would rather have the second best RB/KR, CB/KR, WR/KR over a T we coulda got in the second round!!!

Is that RB from Texas A&M Lane coming out of school...That dude is a load

no one wants lane on this team, he wont cut it in the nfl period

The STEELERS need to revert back to the Noll era and go with " the best athlete available" theory...I know its old school but it seemed to work pretty well.
