This would be a terrible draft. Pearsall is only being talked about in the 2nd because of one catch. I’m a die hard gators fan. He’d be a good pick in the 3rd
I don’t disagree with where you want to place him on your board, but I’m not hearing anything about that one catch. Analysts are high on him because of elite route running, and having established an already complete NFL route tree. That’s all they talk about, along with sure hands and decent athletic scores.
I hope I am wrong but writers I trust rate Barton as a 3rd rounder because he plays too high and goes to the ground too much. We will probably regret not taking JPJ like we lost out on Landon Dickerson 4 years ago.
Checking out what you said and you're right When he makes a block he's more often not falling down on top of the guy rather than actually blocking him.
@@robertlong7033 Just went back again and looked at the clips of Barton on SD. Uh... sorry, guys, but I'm not seeing it. What I'm seeing is a beast, great power, leverage, and speed, getting to the second level quickly and knocking guys' blocks off. Mims, OTOH... I have great concerns that he's a boom or bust type. And JPJ... I don't know, if a guy can be TOO big, it's him. I worry about his injury history...
We didn't lose out on Dickerson, who is a guard that went 37th overall, we lost out on Creed Humphrey who is a center that was sitting there with our 55th pick (right after we drafted Najee), and we picked Muth which was a lose/lose pick. Speaking of, 2022 draft we had center Tyler Linderbaum sitting there with our 20th pick, and we chose Pickett...another lose/lose pick.
Dale Lolle had really good discussion about how the current CBA 5th year option function affects taking a center in the 1st round. Since all OLs are considered in the same bucket, if you take a center in round 1, you will be forced to pay them the same as a tackle either picking up that option or the starting negotiating standpoint for a extension. Do you want to pay your center the same money as tackle? That's a tough one for me. Two other things I've thought about going into this - apparently Jackalope fans have reported that McCormick definitely did a lot of practice work at center, even game prep. I like watching him a lot, seems to be quick on his step out and punch. Lastly, the big variable no one knows about - Spencer Anderson has been in the org a year, worked a ton at center last summer, and got good reviews from people who watched him. We don't know what the team feels about him going into yr 2. So I'm less and less the 'get the top 3 guys or you're screwed for the year' mindset at this point. I really want one of the stud tackles. It's such a more rare commodity to find, esp in the mid-late 1st rd.
I kind of hope you’re wrong about at least the first 3 choices. I think Barton would be a massive reach at 20 and not a fan of Persal either. Seems very underwhelming.
Please no 😭 I don’t want someone who is position flexible. I just want to draft guys and put them at the position WE DRAFTED THEM TO BE!!! If Barton is kinda a center and kinda a guard I don’t want him. I want a CENTER!!!
Lol the amount of whining in the comments lol it's gonna be funny when y'all are disappointed with the actual draft. Arm chair scouts are funny, watch some highlights and think they know everything and better than our front office whose scouting department has spent a year+ scouting these kids, all of you need to go touch grass
Just need to get solid ready to play now players. Barton 1st and Frazier is a Real genuine Center, if he get hurt you got Barton 💯. DL 3rd, 3rd WR Rice or Bub Means, 6th Jalen Coker or Luke McCaffrey. 6th Joe Milton
Trade down in round 1 and grab Frazier. No mention of Legette as a round two WR option? Would love ILB Gray at 3b, but give me a NB at 3a (Sainristil, Phillips, or Green - id add Melton, but imo he'll be drafted in round two). Round 4 ill take OT Glover out of Georgia St. Round 6a DT Logan Lee, round 6b SS Taylor out of Army, Perry and Watts are potential options there too. Anyway, thanks AK, I appreciate all you do for us Steelers fans
Steelers not moving back in the Draft as stated on other Steelers mock Drafts. They have 4 picks of the 1st 98 selections. Based on the Arthurs Smith Run Heavy Offense they want to employ they will draft Tackle and Center with pick 20 and 51 and use the two third round picks and draft a Physical Blocking WR and CB.
@MrFreshEdition I believe that they will move down in round 1 and select Frazier. I also believe that they will then follow that up by using the fourth acquired via trade down to move up in round two or three. Opinions are like mock drafts and (censored), we all have one. 1) C Frazier (trade down w/ TB or AZ) 2) WR Legette 3) NB Sainristil 3) ILB Gray 4) OT Glover 6) DT Lee 6) SS Taylor (the safety, not the punter) *Looks like we're trading for Sutton, so no longer seeing a round two WR. Back to the drawing board.
Graham Barton is too important to pass up if he’s still there..They need a starting Center with upside, and position flexibility..you can’t get that deep in round 2
Your probably better than me a evaluating talent but this draft seems a bit conservative and need based instead of talent I feel like they should go best player available
I love your analysis but your being scared .. believe me We are picking best available on 20 then going from there ...not top 20 ..best top 20 ot , wr , dl ...then looking for center later
Terrible mock draft. Barton is an OT and not a center. And Blake Fisher is not a starting OT. We can do better. Rather have Mims and Zach Frazier as the first 2 picks. Maybe DeVontez Walker in the 3rd round.
Not sure what people are expecting but I give this an A . Anyone who would be "underwhelmed" or "disappointed" with these picks is simply not in touch with the draft/football.
Looks perfect to me. But You gotta get Barton at center and trade for a wideout. No rookie is going to come in, start right away and lead us to the bowl.
In all honestly, if I was an agent for the top 12 WRs in this draft, I would be dropping hints their client does not want to play for the Steelers. I'd get the family involved and go full 2004 Mannings.
Ya talk bout blues clues, you didn’t listen to Tomlin at his presser Monday, the center they want is one that has played center last cple yrs and the 3rd round will be WR n CB picks
Didn’t they ask him what they’re looking for in drafting center this yr, he said has to have played center? Maybe im wrong on that, I listen to so many podcasts bout Steelers draft 😂 usually I trust you n Dave over most but all info gets crowded in my old ass brain 🤷🏻♂️😂
@@koreycain7263 Ha you're good man. He didn't say that. He was asked about what he looks for in converting a tackle to guard, etc. And Tomlin said he looks for two things. The football IQ to make the move and having a background at the position. Having done it before. Barton checks both.
Diss draft sucks Omar draft won’t go like dis where gonna dubble dip at wide out weak a**** kc draft dis dude doesn’t nooo football at all it shows yo smh 🤦
20. G. Barton IOL/Duke [] 51. E. Cooper LB/TAM [] 84. B. Fisher OT/ND [] 98. T’Von DL/Texas [] 119. K. Ab’Draine CB/Mizz [] 178. L. McCaffery WR/Rice [] 195. J. Jones CB/Fla St
From your lips to Omar's ear. Really solid. Especially Barton. He'll be the anchor of the OL for 10 years. And anybody who thinks that the Steelers can solve all of their problems in one draft just doesn't get it. They're 1-2 drafts away, minimum. And maybe their long term QB isn't even on the roster right now...

Just Build a line first 3 picks , WR with next 3rd. 4th CB or DL. 6th Jalen Coker WR, QB Joe 👀 Milton

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STEELERS💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤
Alex it's Ralph love the first two picks I picked Barton in my mock draft for my podcast The Yinzer Report love that first round pick
Alex, your picks make sense.
I kind of hope you’re wrong about at least the first 3 choices. I think Barton would be a massive reach at 20 and not a fan of Persal either. Seems very underwhelming.
Please no 😭 I don’t want someone who is position flexible. I just want to draft guys and put them at the position WE DRAFTED THEM TO BE!!! If Barton is kinda a center and kinda a guard I don’t want him. I want a CENTER!!!
Am I asking for too much Alex. Am I toxic 😭😭
Barton wouldn't be drafted b/c of his flexibility.
Now way you thought Fuatanu would still be there at 20. Much better reality than mock here.
Good stuff. You always make clear it's what Steelers would do. When we gonna see what YOU would do? Lol
Thanks Mike!
Lol the amount of whining in the comments lol it's gonna be funny when y'all are disappointed with the actual draft. Arm chair scouts are funny, watch some highlights and think they know everything and better than our front office whose scouting department has spent a year+ scouting these kids, all of you need to go touch grass
I'd be pretty happy with this draft. My only question is at pick 51, do you not like Legette or do you just think he's definitely gone at that point?
Can Barton play right tackle Frazier still there at 51?
Exactly 💯
Barton played some RT very early at Duke (don't think ever in a game) but he'd be drafted to play C.
@@Alex_Kozora He played center as a freshman and OT the next 3 years. We need one of the top 3 centers in the draft. Not a converted OT.
Just need to get solid ready to play now players. Barton 1st and Frazier is a Real genuine Center, if he get hurt you got Barton 💯. DL 3rd, 3rd WR Rice or Bub Means, 6th Jalen Coker or Luke McCaffrey. 6th Joe Milton
I don’t like fisher in the run game at all
Me niether, I'd rather gamble on Glover in round 4
I liked him in the run game. Had more concerns in pass pro.
Oh, sorry... I thought it said mock the Steelers draft prediction, I'll be back, after the draft.
Ha, I'll see you then!
@@Alex_Kozora Y'all have to show up first.
Good draft to me don’t know why people are hating on it….just goes to show people really don’t know ball.

*Looks like we're trading for Sutton, so no longer seeing a round two WR. Back to the drawing board.
Conference-wise… Lots of ACC representation!
(I’m gonna include Notre Dame here opportunistically, since they’re officially independent)
Yeah let’s pick a center in first rd who hasn’t played center in 2 plus years and has zero tape as center on the internet.
Graham Barton is too important to pass up if he’s still there..They need a starting Center with upside, and position flexibility..you can’t get that deep in round 2
And Graham Barton is NOT a starting center. He is an OT.
Your probably better than me a evaluating talent but this draft seems a bit conservative and need based instead of talent I feel like they should go best player available
Your usually my man to get info but !? Who and what do we need ? ..your over reaching...pick #20.. best available....then we play in round 2 for need
I love your analysis but your being scared .. believe me We are picking best available on 20 then going from there ...not top 20 ..best top 20 ot , wr , dl ...then looking for center later
Terrible mock draft. Barton is an OT and not a center. And Blake Fisher is not a starting OT. We can do better. Rather have Mims and Zach Frazier as the first 2 picks. Maybe DeVontez Walker in the 3rd round.
Underwhelmed by this mock
Dave’s was even worse.
😂😂😂😂
This draft SUCKS ASS... I'm glad you're not Omar Khan 😂😂😂
lol this was worse than a Mel Kiper jr mock
Alex what would uou think of going WR in the 1st and C in the 2nd? Could get a guy like BTJ or AD Mitchell, then potentially grab a Frazier next
Not sure what people are expecting but I give this an A . Anyone who would be "underwhelmed" or "disappointed" with these picks is simply not in touch with the draft/football.
This would be a super super super draft!
Looks perfect to me. But You gotta get Barton at center and trade for a wideout. No rookie is going to come in, start right away and lead us to the bowl.
Thank dear heavenly God your name isn’t Omar Khan
We just created additional $7 million in cap space so close to 20 million going into tomorrow we bout to make a move for Premier wide out
IF 1 WR falls to 12th/13th ish we’re moving ✅
Nice catch (no pun intended), Steelers just restructured Highsmith. Aiyuk coming to the 'Burgh? Sutton (not Cam, the other one, Broncos WR)?
@@lionelladner ya, moving down for Frazier. We're about to trade for either Aiyuk or Sutton, not trading up for a WR
Why overpay for what we could draft and put on rookie contract?
Not bad as long as they get Aiyuk b4 training camp when he is holding our 👊
In all honestly, if I was an agent for the top 12 WRs in this draft, I would be dropping hints their client does not want to play for the Steelers. I'd get the family involved and go full 2004 Mannings.
KEVIN COLBERT ASS DRAFT
Pearsall will not be a Steeler..Jevon Baker
Amarius is our first rounder alex. Just as high as najee. We'll trade up in second with the cardinals !
He could be!
Ya talk bout blues clues, you didn’t listen to Tomlin at his presser Monday, the center they want is one that has played center last cple yrs and the 3rd round will be WR n CB picks
