Colbert turned a leaf...

Eddie Bouchette's article Thursday January 17th quotes Colbert saying that "no position is off the table this year in the draft or free agency".  Now, for those of you that are Steeler fans, ever since we drafted Ben in 2004 Colbert has always said "everything is open other than QB and TE".

This caught be totally off guard.  Now, there is a part of me that attaches this article to Ed's other one that says "were gonna let all of our FAs test the market" and that "the 2012 roster will be totally different than the 2013 one".  This could mean a swap to a 4-3.  Yes, it could.  But if it hasnt happened yet, then I dont think it will for awhile.

That said, I officially accept your challenge Kevin, and have built a mock this evening that has open doors all around.

Its late, so here is the short story for now...


17 Ertz- in my opinion the best TE in the draft.

47 Dysert- talk about Ben Jr.  Wow.  Ive also read he has the best deep ball in the draft.

79 Rogers- If you take Julius Jones and squish him with AJ Green, you might have something like this kid.  An injury and maybe an attention issue lets him fall alittle.

111 Gillislee- you know I gotz ta have muh Gatahs yo!!!  Hes a beast with speed and sufficient power.

143 Swearinger- yes, I love the SEC.  But the few games Ive seen of the Gamecocks (DeShawn has prob seen more) I cant help but watch this kid.

175 Williams- I read recently there are in upwards of 20+ hybrid de/olbs in this draft.  I found at least 12+ after a quick look.  Kansas State had an exciting offense this year, but they also had a serious D.  This kid isnt known for dripping into coverage much, but he can attack the QB with the best of them.

207 Francis- typical Tomlin.  Lets wait till the late rounds for a NT.  But this kid if my diamond in the rough.  He almost quit when being moved all over the Terps front 4 until they switched to a 3 front and stuck his big ass in the middle.  6'5 320.  Big dawg.

227 Turnley- Tomlins local boy pick.  We also need someone with serious position flexibility.  Ryan has played the entire inside (bye bye Bruno) but has the size to at least play RT.
