Who is your pick to be no. 31 at this time?...Dale,<br /><br />Who is your pick to be no. 31 at this time? I think Ras-I Dowling would be a great pick for this team at no. 31. The dude is a solid football player who was hurt most of his senior year. Other than that, you are not going to find too many 6'2, 200 lbs. CB's running in the 4.3's who love to hit and can cover. This guy is also a leader who loves the game of football. Just looks like a Steelers CB to me and has risen to no. 4 on Mike Mayock's board. I think Ras-I could end up moving to safety later on in his career, offering even more versatility but this guy could help our defense NEXT year. At pick no. 31, I'd take the chance. If I could trade down a few slots and get him in the 2nd round along with an OL like B. Ijialana or M. Cannon, then that's gravy. I saw where the Steelers had him in today for a visit, along with CB Cortez Allen, WR Austin Pettis and RB Da'Rell Scott of Maryland.datruth4lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491881345131204471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-75832544999932798752011-04-07T17:02:36.995-04:002011-04-07T17:02:36.995-04:00I had Pouncey on Monday before the draft.

It appeared on this blog and in the paper.<br />I've had five of their past eight first-round picks - not to toot my own horn.<br />I missed Ziggy Hood and Mendenhall, and didn't figure on them being able to trade up high enough to get Polamalu. But I knew he was the guy they wanted.Dale Lolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089003781188560287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-12269862120590287842011-04-07T11:52:41.285-04:002011-04-07T11:52:41.285-04:00ed bouchette has hit the past 2 picks the day or s...ed bouchette has hit the past 2 picks the day or so before the draft.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10725231979706488599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-44810738298986246032011-04-07T11:17:00.902-04:002011-04-07T11:17:00.902-04:00have the steelers ever had a 1st round pick that w...have the steelers ever had a 1st round pick that was the same as kiper's (or mcshay's) mock draft?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-74263828143310476252011-04-07T00:55:26.469-04:002011-04-07T00:55:26.469-04:00Dale, with a trade down, here it is:

I think the Steelers were the only team to attend his pro day and work him out. Might be wrong on that, though.datruth4lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491881345131204471noreply@blogger.com
