Ehh I'm not huge on drafting a LT this season unless they are a sure thing franchise LT, who will also be expensive.. Steelers LT Kelvin Beachum battled his way into being a respectable LT towards the end part of the season. Also I'm not liking the risk of taking Lewan either, although he may be a good player in certain schemes, he needs to be more athletic for the Steelers ZBS, we have plenty of failed LTs turned RTs already. Only other player players I'd like there (other than a LT) would be RaShede Hageman, Jace Amaro, or maybeee Mike Evans if they believe he can be Plaxico Burress 2.0.
Also I don't see the Steelers trading the farm to go up that high for Matthews or Clowney. And for the record LeBeau would make Clowney work in the "3-4". If he he can get 285lbs Woodley to drop in coverage, then he can get a more athletic Clowney to. And he'd make a sick nickel pass rusher in the Steelers 4-2 front.
Aaaand I just saw the date on those mocks fml lol

They have two starting corners with one of the most promising slot corners in the league in Brandon Boykins. Corner is a need...but plenty of em will be available in the 2-4th rounds. Haha isn't a reach in the later 1st. Eagles need the big SEC type Safety.

You know I actually like that pick.
Not over Mosley, but I'd put him on par with Ebron and Hageman, combine performance depending.

3. Jacksonville Jaguars: Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson - Jacksonville really doesn't need receivers. They have Blackmon, Cecil Shorts and Ace Sanders. As well as many other young WRs. If anything they need a veteran WR not another young one. If you don't think QB is going to happen then I would say Jake Mathews is the next best Candidate seeing as how their starting LT as of right now is Cameron Bradfield. 9. Buffalo Bills: Zach Martin, OT/OG, Notre Dame - Guards don't normally go in the top 10 unless they are rare talent like Cooper or Warmack, so I don't see this pick happening. 12. New York Giants: Mike Evans, WR, Texas A&M - Not particularly feeling this pick.. I think the Giants have bigger fish to fry than WR, I am interested as to what plax has to say about this pick. 17. Baltimore Ravens: Taylor Lewan, OT, Michigan - This pick is only necessary if they don't retain Monroe and Oher. But with the likely hood of Suggs being cut to clear up cap space they should be able to retain both so I don't see this happening. They really need a WR or an ILB. With Marquise Lee and CJ Mosely on the board those are two very likely picks. It is a good pick if they lose them both though. 19. Miami Dolphins: RaShede Hageman, DT, Minnesota - Don't like this pick.. Miami has no LT worth keeping on their roster, No LG and will possibly lose their RG and RT in free agency. O-line is by far what Miami has to take in the first round. Worst case scenario I can see at DT is them only retaining either Starks or Soliai and even then they still have Odrick and one of those two. They can still get a solid DT in later rounds they need O-line now. With Kouandjio and Yankley 20. Arizona Cardinals: Derek Carr, QB, Fresno St. - Not sure why everyone thinks Arizona needs another QB. Palmer played fine this year. This is another team that is an O-line away from having a good offense. With Kouandjio on the board I can't see them passing him up for a QB who won't start for a few years. They could also take Ealy because they really don't have any OLBs aside from a 36 year old John Abraham. 28. Carolina Panthers: CJ Mosley, OLB, Alabama - I can agree with taking the top player on the board but they really don't need a LB this early and I will be VERY surprised if Mosley is still on the board.. Their front 7 is the strength of their team and although they could use to upgrade Blackburn they have other holes that need to be filled. Namely CB, and WR.

Jindredin regard to the Giants pick, I do not like it. I would rather Lee (who is growing on me) than Evans. I do not see Evans being good in the pros. === a lot of your draft Juggs is eh. Jin pointed out some of them above.

He is brutal at LT but at RT he really doesn't need to be replaced all that badly.
