Its kind of worrisome to have a 2nd year guy as your most experienced back. <br /><br />You have any thoughts on a vet they might bring in Dale?Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10725231979706488599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-14471159532844766792014-03-12T23:00:57.877-04:002014-03-12T23:00:57.877-04:00I really think Gilbert is the pick if hes there.

A lot of folks are crying for Woods and Hood, really? Cam Heyward was the only bright spot on that front 3 and we are afraid of them leaving? I trust the Steelers to have a plan, much like they always do, sign their own GOOD free agents, get a few mid level free agents that fit what they want to do (like Dale mentioned-no cover 2 small dudes) and then go into the draft not NEEDING anyone, although they will surely have needs, CB, WR, TE, DL.<br /><br />There will be a lot of decent players out there for cheap once the dust settles, I have not seen on team make moves that I am all that impressed with. Overpaying for players that DID produce just does not work, see: Redskins/RaidersLancenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-41882079469812803562014-03-12T22:32:26.181-04:002014-03-12T22:32:26.181-04:00Well it looks like Dwyer is joining Steelers West....Well it looks like Dwyer is joining Steelers West.bruinmann77https://www.blogger.com/profile/00306299925666439375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-11162247971730700742014-03-12T21:21:50.745-04:002014-03-12T21:21:50.745-04:00After the lions signed golden tate it's possib...After the lions signed golden tate it's possible evans/benjamin do fall to us.<br /><br />Wouldn't have thought it was possible last week, but defensive end might be in the conversation for the first pick.

Now that they have Mitchell, I think the prognositcators will start focusing on the D-line again. It'll be interesting to see how this free agency frenzy will impact the Draft.
