ajmtan: Charles Mitchell-S,Mississippi St; GJ Kinne-QB,Tulsa; Lennon Creer-RB,Louisiana Tech; Carson Wiggs-K,Purdue; Trevor Olson-OT,Northern Illinois; Ron Brooks-CB,LSU - Bonus Pick - Burgball-RB, Baylor

I would like to explain some of my later picks.

Delvin Johnson- big enough for the NT, sheds blocks, has natural size, and like McClendon can get sacks.
Kris Burd- I could give a rat's azz where he ranks, watched him catch everything thrown at him, ran good routes.
Coty Sensabaugh- I watched Clemson twice, the other team threw away from this kid, he has ball skills and can cover.
Ronnie Thorton- The bookend to Cordaro Law, these kids from Soutern Mississippi can get after the QB.
Max Halloway- Watched him in the Shrine Game, relentless motor, makes plays, can rush the QB and cover in space.
Brandon Bostick- Just played in an all-star game, this kid is a WR that is 6-4, 244, who runs a 4.5, needs coaching.
Kashif Moore- local kid, homer pick, however he may end up being the fastest man at the combine, he was invited.
Michael Smith- A sleeper RB out of Utah State, everyone is salivating over his teammate Robert Turbin, but this kid can play and does not have a lot of miles on him. Personally I hope they give Chad Spann a chance in camp, he might surprise.

I think when Steeler fans look at RB, we are too enamored with size, we all want the next Jerome Bettis, well there was one of those. However when we teamed him up with Willis Parker, teams could not predict where the run was going. I really think Pittsburgh may look at a smaller more elusive back to compliment Redman. I listed Isiah Pead becaue he can inject speed into the backfield, but also gives Antonio Brown a seat on the bench on ST. We need healthy bodies in 2012.

I am not 100% sold on Cordy Glenn, closer to 75%.... but when I look at who will be on the board at 24, his name keeps popping up. He can play OT, OG, and has size and a good hand punch. I worry about the weight, but maybe Kugler can get him on the treadmill and Omar gives him a contract with a weight clause.  There may be mutiny if the Steelers go DL again, but Hampton is almost out the door, Kiesel is going to be 34. McClendon is a good backup for now, if he becomes the starter great.... There is some real talent on here on the DL, but how long before Al Woods and Corbin Bryant dress and produce, good question for John Mitchell.  Fletcher Cox and Michael Brockers are supreme DL talent from the SEC, hopefully if Glenn and Hightower are gone, they go BPA, or trade back.

Hopefully Todd Haley has been doing some film study and will go to Indianopolis, like Beach said the KC drafts the last 2 years were solid.

Bonus Pick - Burgball-RB, Baylor

That hurts!!  (but funny - good stuff!)

Exciting thing for Pead is from what I read he had very little punt return experience before the Senior Bowl. Great job by the Vikings coaching staff asking this guy to go outside his comfort zone. He probably moved up at least a full round in the draft.

Combine invite list..  There some players not on the list I wanted to see and some players I'm surprised are on it....

enjoy,

bb

Bear with me, thanks for all the nominations. I am working long days for February, I will put the list together of all the players, then anyone who did at least one round can vote. Take each group of players and list them in order of preference. But start with the high number first, that is how I am scoring each round. So if there are 12 choices in the round, make your favorite #12 and your least favorite #12. try and list each round of players in order, easier for me to score(12,11,10,9,8,7,6 5,4,3,2,1)also I may move a few players up or back so the round fits the draft grade. I hope to have this out by Friday. Confused? If so then wait for my ballot and use it as a template.

Typo fix least favorite should be #1

I know it's to late but, I see Blair Walsh listed, another kicker under the radar is Greg Zuerlein from Missouri Western(D2), I don't think Steelers will draft a K but if they're going invite some to try out, he would be a good one. 23-24 FG on the year but the stat that POPS is 9-9 from 50+ including 1 game where he was 4-4 from 50+ with a 58 yard game winner. I've watched some video, one of which was his final game where kicked 2 from 52+ that were halfway up the posts. I don't think there is another kicker anywhere at any level who was 9-9 from 50+ this year.

Beach - #57 - he's the kid from midwestern state that missed the senior bowl..  Need to watch closely....

Beach - #57 - he's the kid from midwestern state that missed the senior bowl..  Need to watch closely....

On the ground first play - not good but did you see him running downfiled looking for a block afterward - good hustle

Gotta watch the head slap - runs well and buries the DB on the screen

Pretty violent with his hands but looks like it saves him from some poor footwork at times - wont save him in the NFL

Gets to the next level pretty easily - definitely two different players when it comes to run and pass blocking

Did you see the 4:00 mark? Looks like 22 Double only they pull the LT. He is flying through that hole and buries the LB! 

Okay now the hands are inside to much - not extending in pass pro - but not reaching either.

Who's #4? What a catch!

Must have missed some time his Junior year. #73 now in at LT

#4 again!

He's back. He plays through the whistle well - stays on the block.

9:52 very quick feet - nice seal - next play 22 double again - another good block - keeps hustling downfield but then Kemo blocks late

Overall really like what I see considering this is his Junior year. Too bad we don't have access to 2011. Looks more like a Guard here but again it's Junior tape. Not afraid to use his hands and he has quick feet so Kug's could probably coach this kid up.

Hustle A
Athletic Ability A
Hands B
Footwork C

And #4 is David Little. Would love to see some more film on this kid. 6'3", 175 (small) but great athleticism and hands. 

Beach,

Yep - kid is a mauler.. and is nasty and hustles...   Needs coached u pand projects to OG in the NFL...

HERE you go.

Very little info on this kid and doesn't appear to be very heavily scouted.  Doubt he's drafted or even signed as an undrafted FA.

He does appear to have GREAT hands, though.  Hard to tell from the tape just how fast he is, but the hands are fantastic.  Plucks the ball away from his body beautifully!

Well he got my attention while looking at Silatoua (sp.). Maybe he'll do the same to someone else watching MWState film and get a camp invite. Thanks for the link. It says 190lbs on the link - still small for a 6'3" WR but not emaciated.

I've watched both tapes and he is intriguing.  Too bad he wasn't invited to the combine or any of the end of season games that I can tell, because I'd love to get a better idea how fast he really is and just how much he really weighs.  It would be worth keeping an eye out for this pro day.  190 lbs is pretty damned thin for a guy who is 6'3", hopefully he's picked up another 15 pounds or so...
