Mock draft: Pick any player in the league (SportingNews.com)

Here's a take on what would happen in Round 1 of the 2008 draft if the teams were allowed to pick players already in the league. I'll admit it: It's silly. But it's also a lot more interesting than perusing another standard mock draft, version 16.4.

Starks signs tender
Monday, April 21st, 2008 at
5:10 pm
In what was a smart move for Max Starks, he signed the Steelers' transition tender offer of $6.9 million on Saturday, a week before the NFL draft.Though I was told it was unlikely the Steelers would pull the transition tag off of Starks, the team's No. 3 tackle in 2007, Starks had to be thinking that if the team selected offensive linemen with its first two picks next week – as it did with linebackers in 2007 – yanking the offer may have been a possibility.Starks' signing means that right tackle Willie Colon will likely shift to left guard to replace departed Alan Faneca. He also gives the Read more [...]
Mock Take 2

1. Miami, Chris Long, DE, Virginia. Though the Dolphins opened negotiations with offensive tackle Jake Long first, you can bet they’ll also do so with some of the others considered. And Bill Parcells will settle on Chris Long as the pick. Pick in previous draft: Long2. St. Louis, Vernon Gholston, DE, Ohio State. The Rams could grab offensive tackle Jake Long, but feel the value will be there later in the draft. Gholston is a lot like current Rams’ star Leonard Little, without the drinking problem. Previous pick: Jake Long.3. Atlanta, Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU. No change from my previous draft, Read more [...]
A closer look at the schedule

At first glance, the Pittsburgh Steelers 2008 schedule looks loaded with annual and potential playoff contenders – and it is.But looking at it a little more closely, it's not as bad as it seems.In fact, the playoffs could be a strong possiblility again in Mike Tomlin's second season.I know – it's difficult to look at a schedule, particularly before the draft, and say who's going to do what.But if you look at it with an eye on the past, you can get an idea of what the end result will look like.The Steelers open at home Sept. 7 in a game against the Houston Texans, a game they should win with Read more [...]
Tomlin says he wants a pass rusher
Monday, April 21st, 2008 at
4:07 pm
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is hinting he wants a pass rusher. This does make some sense to me as where we are picking in round 1.
Potential Steelers first-round draft picks include North Carolina defensive tackle Kentwan Balmer, Clemson defensive end Phillip Merling and Miami defensive end Calais Campbell.
I would be estatic with Balmer or Merling. Campbell not so much. As mentioned in an earlier post if these two are off the board, I could see us trading out of the first round! Read more [...]
Steelers could trade out of first round
Monday, April 21st, 2008 at
4:00 pm
Colbert said today that the Steelers could indeed trade out of the first round on Saturday if the right deal was presented. Also, as usually, it is highly unlikely that the Steelers trade up further into round 1. I highly suspect the Steelers will stay right where they are unless one of the 3 or 4 players they are targeting are off the board. Colbert could be just getting the word out that all deals will be looked at.
