Pre-Combine Draft Targets By Round

K TRAIN Did you see McShay's latest mock? He has Steelers taking Orlando Franklin in the first and leaving JIMMY SMITH,ARRON WILLIAMS,BRANDON HARRIS ON THE BOARD!
HE'S ON CRACK LOL
BEN IJALANA & MARUS CANNON ARE BOTH AVAILABLE BUT WHY REACH WHEN BPA IS JIMMY SMITH.( I like Harris & Williams long term 2 contracts, jimmy's bolting after rookie contract is over)

lol .. i think the only thing to really take away from that is suntan man thinks those 3 DB's are on the board ..which would be sick, but i doubt that

Here is Mcshay's theory on the pick ..

Pittsburgh SteelersRecord: 12-4 | Top needs: OT/OG, CB, NT, WR, TE
Orlando Franklin, OG, Miami (FL)
Cornerback is a possibility here but Smith might be too much of a character risk, and Aaron Williams of Texas might be better at safety. There are also other options among offensive linemen but Franklin has experience playing guard and tackle, he plays with a chip on his shoulder and employs the kind of physical style the Steelers look for in their offensive linemen.

I have liked franklin, but no way that early

his 2nd rd pick for us is Ras ID .. which i would be fine with at 61 ..

he has harris lasting to 42 ..to HOU .. they would haul ass to hand that card in .. lol .. no way he drops that low ..

Gerry Dulac said with the absence of a CBA the Steelers need/should draft 2 CB in the first 3 rounds. No guarantee the will resign Ike.
