Sure we need a pass rusher. No doubt. But we also need someone to push the pocket up the middle on passing downs so the opposing QB doesn't step up. With that said, I think getting that stud nose tackle is just as important as the pass rusher on the edge because a guy who gives push up the middle forces Flacco to move to one side or the other towards our DE's.
If we used our # 17 pick to take the best one off the board, I wouldn't be upset about that at all. Because it is a red alert need. Colon is soooooooooooooo done. Which leaves us with Mclendon..and I'm not that satisfied with him and we need depth anyway.
The Steeler way...is the only way.
We used to be dominant, controling the middle of the line; what happened to that??? That's the kind of thing that goes a long way but many don't appreciate that. We need to get back to doing things, " The Steelers Way" and being dominant on both lines is where we start.
Getting that stud nose tackle Jonathan Jenkins for Georgia, would be a fantastic start. and we could possibly trade down a bit and still land him.

We need a defensive playmaker, no question. I don't know enough about Jenkins to comment, but I'm not opposed to trading down to get that stud we need. I am concerned, though, that it would be a 6th consecutive first round pick on the line, and we'd be sporting a DL that has three number 1 picks, which is a large amount of #1s to spend on the DL. We need to find value on the DL later in the draft, like we did on the OL with Beachum. We can't keep throwing more skill picks at the wall later in the draft and hope they stick.
Here's a thought Mr. Rooney..why don't you allow us to use free agency to fix the WR position. Stupid *** Rooney still stuck in the 1980's.
With bust drafting by Colbert (including wasting a 4th and 5th round pick on Rainey and t'aamu) is all the more reason we need to use free agency in a more serious way.

What other team has cut their 4th and 5th round picks this year???? Colbert should be demoted.

Johnathan Hankins from Ohio State has been mentioned going to us as well. Another lineman though...
