    Mendenhall....i love it, i seriously freaking love it. Best player available is always the way to go and theres no way he should have been there. Now we have a badass in the backfield, something we havent had in a while lol

    Very happy that Mendenhall is a Steeler. Excellent choice. This guy has a total package and can carry the load.

    Mendenhall + Sweed I love that I just really hope the moves we make in our offensive line during the off-season are enough since obviously we won't be addressing it via the draft since all the good OTs went quick as crap.

    Doesn't always have to be a huge name to be a steady o-lineman. I like the first two picks. Let's see what tomorrow brings.

    Good first day of the draft for the Steelers.

    especially at guard, there are plenty of guys that get taken late that turn out great, plus a guy like Tony Hills is still out there for tackles

    Loved Day One.

    I love the pick. I was hesitant at first, but within 10 minutes, I loved it. Limas Sweed? Awesome. They definitely got the best value for their picks. I love that they took the best available player in Mendenhall with their pick.

    I heard an interview with Tomlin and they had a chart with 15 players on it. If all of those players were gone, they were going to trade out of that spot and down into the second round. He said that when Dallas picked Felix Jones, their war room erupted in cheer that Mendenhall was still available. He did say they got a few offers for that 23 pick.

    ABSOLUTELY loved the Limas Sweed pick. The guy could be the best WR in the draft!

    Today I am looking for a little secondary help. Maybe a Tom Zbikowski after they trade Polamalu away. Wouldn't mind Reggie Smith or perhaps a Justin King at CB. Even that kid from Iowa, Godfrey.

    I still want to see them draft an O-lineman. Roy Schuening is still available at G - I was reading up on him. He's not a bad player. Could possibly be the second rated guard in the draft. He's Albert's size, very durable. Need a little work. As a bonus, he's got one of those "Steelers Names."

    I'm thinking in a few seasons we will look back on this as a key pick, don't know why he just feels like a wildcard pick that will pay off.

    Looks like a pick with possibilities but it does look like he's had some tough luck with injuries. Addressed the o-line need though.

    Let's hope he got the injury bug out of his system...

    Looks like a lot of potential in Hills.

    Doesn't look like a bug just some really tough luck. Blew out a knee in high school and broken leg in college. Doesn't sound like nagging injuries just two really bad ones.

    Well let's hope he's gotten all his "injuries" out of his system.

    I really really like the Steelers draft so far...exceptional!

    Agreed 86...nice draft on paper.

    I want Steelers to get Trae Williams here

    Has Schuening been taken? Everything I've read has him ranked as the Number 2 Guard in the draft...

    I wouldn't mind Williams though...
     
  18. Crowned

    Crowned Doesn't give a shit.

    No he hasn't been drafted yet.

    I am not a big fan of the Dennis Dixon pick...

    There were better players that would've added better depth than taking Dixon...

    More of the same. Decent day one, complete collapse in day 2.

    Almost completely ignored both lines. Waste.
