Steelers eying up Dez Bryant

Yes, a CB who doesn't watch every play will be a great addition.

Steelers meet with 6 more draft prospects

"The Steelers are meeting with six NFL draft prospects today, including two that have been linked to the team in various mock drafts. Idaho guard Mike Iupati and Florida center/guard Maurkice Pouncey headline the group that is visiting the Steelers at their South Side practice facility. Both have been projected as first-round picks. The Steelers are also meeting with defensive linemen Linval Joseph of East Carolina and Clifton Geathers of South Carolina as well as Arizona tight end Rob Gronkowski and South Florida wide receiver Carlton Mitchell."

there is no way the steelers draft dez bryant, they will draft a corner for sure, they need corner help bad. They have a defensive minded coach and he was pissed at how his defense played last year.

They do need an upgrade at defense, but I would draft O-Line, O-Line, O-Line, O-Line etc. I know Ben holds the ball a little longer than he should, but their entire offensive line is garbage. If Ben could not scramble or break tackles it would be worse than David Carr getting sacked.

Their offense is fine they can match any in the NFL blow for blow in case you didn't notice but this is what makes Ben great, running for his life give him protection and he will become mediocre at best, its their 2nddary meaning shut down corner needed the day they let McFadden go

Their offense is fine, but not O-Line. It does make Ben good though, but a few consistent seasons of getting drilled then he won't be around as long. They definitely need another corner though. I am excited to see what they do this draft.

pfff who cares about the steelers, between big ben and santonio they have other problems to worry about

Rig · 04-09-10, 09:27 PM

Fez bryanyt doesn't seem to give it his all all the time, I don't think he fits into steeler mode perfectly...

PAULYPOKER · 04-10-10, 02:02 AM

Well it looks like Ben and Santonio are in the clear now, just in time to focus on the upcoming season by the beginning of season it will be blown over and clear skies above

Three more prospects visit Steelers

"Three college players are visiting the Steelers today, including two more wide receivers. Wide receivers Emmanuel Sanders of Southern Methodist and Rejust Benn of Illinois joined safety Earl Thomas of Texas at the UPMC training facility."

iwantcougars · 04-10-10, 09:03 AM

probably ward (retire) or holmes (free agent) arent comming back in 2011

podunk · 04-10-10, 09:20 AM

holmes won't be back...ward is an old man...they need receivers along with a quarterback that doesn't rape girls

BigdaddyQH · 04-10-10, 10:06 AM

There is no way Pitt takes Bryant. To do so they would have to trade up, and with the gaping holes on defense to fill, they are not going to give up a 3rd or 4th round pick just to trade up and get another problem child on their team.

msec512 · 04-10-10, 11:54 AM

I wouldn't be surprised if Holmes is traded during the draft. He's in the last year of his contract and can't stay out of trouble.

spurnam · 04-10-10, 12:11 PM

I think Dez to the Cowboys would be best... The next "little t.o.".

PAULYPOKER · 04-10-10, 06:00 PM

Dez will most likely go to Cardinals 26th pick over all but if Pittsburgh wanted him they could have him easily

PAULYPOKER · 04-10-10, 06:03 PM

Rumors has it they are going to take Kyle Wilson CB. Boise State in the 1st

GunShard · 04-10-10, 11:27 PM

The Steelers have some problems on both offense and defense.

jgiun1 · 04-10-10, 11:34 PM

they better get O line or Corner.........**** Linebackers

PAULYPOKER · 04-12-10, 12:34 AM

Holmes gone but still don't think they'll take Bryant.........Pittsburgh is stacked in the WR department
