4. Jermaine Johnson
10. Garrett Wilson


I'm not even mad.  I'm kinda warming up to the idea of Johnson's stock moving up into the top 5.

Jermaine Johnson is also ~ 2 years older than Thibodeaux, Hutchinson, Karlaftis, etc. I think he's solidly among the oldest prospects being talked about going so high, which should definitely should be considered when thinking about projection.

For a team that has had a vanishingly small number of players it drafted sign a second contract, I don't know how much we should really care. Give me five years of good play and anything else is a bonus. Obviously drafting 25 year olds shouldn't be a standard policy, but if everything else screams that they're the right guy then I wouldn't be put off by a greater level of maturity.

Bleacher Report's 3 Rd Mock

4. Karlaftis
10. Jordan Davis
35. Devin Lloyd
38. Trey McBride
69. Coby Bryant

Not a fan of round 1

No way Lloyd drops to the second round.

I didn't think it was even worth mentioning in the Do Not Want thread, but Jordan Davis at 10... do not freaking want.

Just because Bleacher Report was bought by Time Warner and has mastered the art of clickbait/search engine algorithm exploitation doesn't mean they are legit or informative in any way (not that any Feb. mocks are legit and/or informative, I know it's all in good time-killing fun).

Imagine if Connor Hughes had less sources and also had Down Syndrome....that's the Bleacher Report "journalism" sweatshop.

This is like rolling your eyes at the homeless crack head at the subway exit predicting we take Oscar The Grouch at pick 10.

Not to our taste but I don't think it's a disaster. 6 picks that can all potentially start day 1 and getting the Steelers 2023 pick is promising, they could be pretty lousy next year unless they're landing a big fish at QB.

I just can't get on board with any mock involving us taking a Safety at 4.

I do like the trade back tho.

Actually I'm going to backpedal a bit... I clicked the link and saw he had us take Hamilton over Thibodeaux. That would be very annoying.

Only way I can begin to rationalize Hamilton is if both top edges are gone.

yes..Thibs being there makes it much worse.


Ekwonu/both EDGEs/Neal are ahead of Hamilton imo.

With the OL I can think of it like this - is it better to have Hamilton and BGA (like Green or Johnson) at 35/38, or Ekwonu/Neal and BSA (like Brisker) at 35/38? Obviously the reality is much more complicated but if you compare those narrowed scenarios I think there's a real debate.

I guess i don't value Safety as much.  I'd rather take Lewis Cine in round 3 if he's still there.

I'm not the hugest fan of going O-line at 4, I think there are too many other pressing needs for this team given the performance of our O-line in the second half of the season combined with the possibility of Becton coming back. I really want edge at 4, but if the top 2 are off the board I wouldn't be upset to take Hamilton over Ekwonu/Neal.

These are the positions I would select before Safety at 4 (in random order)

OL
EDGE
CB
WR

in other words..premium positions.

I'm not knocking Hamilton...kid's a baller. He's just not a priority in the top 10 for us, imo.
