Would we be happy to draft a ILB in the first and then trade up in the second to get Elam? I mean, safety is pretty deep this draft. We will wait and see.

What inside LBer?
Teo is going top 10
Mosley is going back to school

There is no ILB worth a mid 1st
Ogletree and Minter seem like decent 2nd round options
I like Skov and/or Alonso as 4th/5th round guys

If we got Teo, we should move to a 4-3, and play Tampa 2 with Teo in the Middle Urlacher role, and Timmons in the Brooks/Briggs WLB role.

Let our CBs man up. Draft some over the top safety. And rebuild the Dline through the next 2 drafts.

I think this is really solid mock so far. We can always use help on offense and the defense is as resilient as ever (If you guys couldn't tell) but if we get a RB who goes?

I agree, the LB are kinda weak this year and Manti isnt worth a trade up

Tyler Eifert TE Notre Dame will be a Steeler in the first round. 6'6'' 250 lbs, catches everything. Think about it, with Miller out right now with his knee torn up, he would be an unbelievable replacement and a perfect fit in Pittsburgh. I'm a Notre Dame fan and have seen nearly ever game of his college career. I'm not trying to sound biased, but he is definitely the real deal. He catches EVERYTHING. He's a Gronkowski with more durability. If he's there, Pittsburgh can't pass him up.

With all the holes this team has, my blood would boil if we spent our 1st on a TE.

**Blitzburgh_Mike** · 01-03-2013, 05:37 PM

I agree, but Heath Miller was Ben's saftey blanket and most reliable target on offense for several years. Who knows what Miller will be able to do when he gets back on the field. With Eifert, it gives Ben another safety blanket. And a good one too. One that is bigger, more athletic and more explosive than Heath Miller. And this is coming from a guy who's favorite Steeler is Heath Miller.

No way Eifert gets drafted #1 by the Steelers this year.

**K Train** · 01-03-2013, 07:36 PM

teo would be a great pick, you cant underestimate having an incredible talent at LB....Teo/Timmons>>>>Willis/Bowman

Im all over the place for my #1 pick at the moment...this team could be 1 guard away from a HOF caliber oline, safety is a need, pass rusher imo is the #1 need, corner is a need, and RB/WR/TE is a need

I like Jarvis Jones and Mingo as OLBs right now, theres a handful of guards that could be chosen, a bunch of safeties that could be in the running, Eifert is still a favorite of mine, especially with heath blowing out his knee.
