2012 Pittsburgh Steelers Discussion

[Mr. Goosemahn]

I think Adams at worst is Max Starks. At best, he can be one of the best tackles in the league.

[Cbrunn]

i think i picked that right in my mock ... :)

so close with Glenn too if Decastro didn't fall

[Burden]

Maybe they trade up for Ta'amu.

At best Max Starks. At worst Jonathan Scott.

Hopefully. Or Brandon Brooks, haha, just finish rebuilding everything.

I think he'll only be Max Starks if he does nothing and lets himself go. He's not as fat, and is much more athletic.

i cant be stopped.

last year 3 for the first 3

this year i had decastro as my only dream pick and was preaching a trade up and had adams as the second rounder as soon as he failed the drug test. so ******* happy. this oline will be among the elite

[CDub]

If Ta'amu doesn't fall to us I'd still be happy with Chapman in the 3rd

[DeeboHarrison]

Update to my big board from beginning round 2:

1 - Coby Fleener
2 - Bobby Massie
3 - Cordy Glenn
4 - Stephen Hill
5 - Lamar Miller
6 - Courtney Upshaw
7 - Jonathan Martin
8 - Jerel Worthy
9 - Alameda Ta'Amu
10 - Courtney Upshaw
11 - Mychal Kendricks
12 - LaMichael James
13 - Peter Konz
14 - Kelechi Osemele
15 - Alshon Jeffery
16 - Reuben Randle
17 - Brandon Brooks
18 - Amini Silatolu
19 - Andre Branch
20 - Devon Still
20a - Vinny Curry

Hoping Miller or LaMichael fall. But I think we go D now after O first two rounds. Maybe Ta'Amu falls, but I doubt it. Pick will prob be Mike Martin?

He is not much more athletic than Starks. As Sean Kugler just said - his problem in pass blocking will be SPEED.

[Cbrunn]

so it's only taking a 5th to trade up ... trade up and get Ta'amu

[K Train]

hes soooooo much more athletic.....and his feet are great for pass blocking. im sorry he ****** your mom or your girlfriend but hes an awesome pick here

Well our own o-line coach disagrees with you and so does tape of every game he played against a premier pass rusher.

I am a Buckeye fan I have literally watched every single snap he has played in college and over 60% of them live. The guy doesn't block NFL type players in pass pro and is not a mauler (outside of one game vs. NEB).

And none of the girls I hang out with are into 330 pound fat slobs so I don't know what you're talking about. The way you gush about him at every opportunity it seems like you are though, so maybe you can catch him in an off night in Latrobe this summer.

[Smooth Criminal]

As an OSU fan I did not want Adams, and I don't think he'll be good. I've seen a lot and I've never really been impressed. Hope I'm wrong, definitely can't blame them for taking a line man.

[K Train]

oh i know your totally a buckeye expert...we all know jj wat had a sack against someone else but adams is so at fault....oh and kerrigan might have got past him last year....damn him for not being perfect.


kugler will make him great, hes got everything to work with. dont be butt hurt cause i was right....it must hurt i understand that

[Cbrunn]

I would love Ronell Lewis or Nigel Bradham in the 3rd

1st off: JJ Watt had his way with Adams on multiple plays. Watt switched sides with regularity in wiscy's D. Fact is JB Shugarts on the other side of our oline the last few years was a colossal bust. Also check out the Penn State games last few years.

[Mr. Goosemahn]

Mike Adams is pure potential right now. No, he wasn't dominant in college, but that could change. It's going to be about making him stronger and getting his head in the game.

He is not the same type of prospect as DeCastro, who's floor is already very high. Adams does have a low floor, but a very high ceiling too. He is much more of a developmental prospect, but I have no issue with that. Few tackles have the physical tools he does, so in my opinion he is well worth the risk.

[DeeboHarrison]

Ktrain - I really don't know what you were right about and I was wrong about here?

I think he's going to be a bust (I hope I'm wrong)
You think he's going to be a stud

He's going to need to get A LOT quicker with his feet to handle speed rusher and he's going to have to find a nasty streak in the run game. He has great size but right now that's his only above average trait.

Man Anger was taken I had him to the Steelers in the 6th.

[Cbrunn]

look at these Punters Suan Powell from Flordia state ... or Marquette King ... there both just as good as anger if not better

[Cbrunn]

i would love Brandon Thompson here in the 3rd too

[Mr. Goosemahn]

What if Massie is there in the 3rd?

o_0

If Lamar Miller is there, I say take him. Too good to pass up, IMO, especially considering the Mendenhall situation.

Also consider Chapman, Ta'Amu, or an ILB.

[CDub]

I'm starting to think Ta'amu might actually fall to us
