Steeler Draft

**Dallas Burgher** · 12-31-2012, 11:06 PM

I saw someone predicting that the ND inside linebacker would fall to the Steelers and we would pick him. Who knows but I wonder if that would be a wise choice with Sean Spence on the roster and our need at safety. If Vacarro is available I wonder it that would be a better choice.

Manti Te'o with Timmons would be the best MLB duo in the league. If by some chance he falls to 17, I don't think they hesitate unless by some miracle he and Jarvis Jones both fall to them.

What are the chances either one is still available? And we actually select them? Steelers passed on hightower last draft

Because DeCastro was twice the prospect. And I loved Hightower. Te'o and Jones are without a doubt better prospects than Hightower was.

So if both are available who do you pick and why?

There is no Way Teo will be there at 17. No ****ing way.

Does anyone agree with me that between Keisel, Heyward and Hood........it is not good enough!! No push at all....we need a stud on the line and there are a couple beasts to be had. This is awesome...we get 4 months of planning this stuff.

There's very little chance of either falling to 17. Having said that, it is still extremely early in the evaluation process. A lot of guys will rise and fall. Te'o could fall if he runs a bad 40, and Jones could fall if there are still questions about his spinal stenosis. For me, it would be an extremely tough decision of by some miracle both were there. This team desperately needs a pass rusher opposite if Woodley and Jones would definitely fill that void, and more. On the other hand, Te'o is my man-crush this year lol. He would benefit from Timmons being next to him and vice versa. Honestly I don't know which I'd pick. Let me get back to you in 2 months lol.

Having said that though. If either were to fall out of the top 10, I'd definitely find a way to trade up. The Steelers don't do it often but they've been known to if there's a certain player they really value (Polamalu, Holmes recently)...
