anybody but Patterson or Jones in the first round is a fail for the Steelers

Plus we have Manny Sanders for at last another year. I say OG or LB in round 1.

We have too many other needs, but OG isn't one of them.

Womack and Coop could be pro-bowlers... if one of them slip you cant pass on them

Agreed, you really can't pass on either, unless Mingo is still on the board.

Which is why I am not so sure you spend the pick on him. We'll all know in just over 72 hours.

Patterson made the jump from JuCo (practically HS football) to the toughest conference in in the FBS (SEC), seemlessly. That's a big adaptation and not only did he adapt but he made defenders look silly in the process. Obviously the jump to the NFL is different. I'm not saying they are the sane situations... But he has shown the ability to adapt to a faster and more complex game.
