Guidelines on reclassification
These guidelines on reclassification are founded on the principles of policy adherence, central oversight and increased transparency. They will provide Deputy Heads with a framework within which to exercise their delegated classification authority for the reclassification of existing positions.
- Reclassification
- The reclassification of a position occurs when the evaluation of its work description results in a change to either or both its occupational group and level due to a significant change in the work assigned to it. A reclassification may be upward, if the work becomes more demanding, or downward, if the work becomes less demanding.
- Classification conversion
- A classification
conversion occurs when a change is made in the method of
establishing the relative value of work for an occupational group
with a resultant new pay structure.
A classification conversion is not a reclassification and does not require a staffing action. (Reference: complete definition found in Classification System and Delegation of Authority Policy)
Public service values
The Values and Ethics Code for the Public Service sets out the values and ethics of the Public Service to guide and support public servants in all their professional activities. Democratic, professional, ethical and people values are identified.
In addition, the Classification Monitoring Framework defines a number of more specific values related to classification that are aligned with these Public Service-wide values. Deputy Heads, managers and human resources advisors are accountable for exercising their classification authority in a way that respects all of these values.
Roles and Responsibilities
The Canada Public Service Agency (CPSA) has a continuing overall accountability for the integrity of the classification system including reclassification.
The Classification System and Delegation of Authority Policy authorizes Deputy Heads to classify positions in their respective departments in accordance with the policy, the appropriate classification standard, and guidelines issued by the CPSA. Departments should choose management practices and appropriate measures to meet their needs within the parameters of the framework prescribed in the policy and the information provided in these guidelines.
Deputy Heads are responsible for ensuring that:
- managers and human resources advisors in their departments understand the classification system, including the classification standards used by the department, and receive adequate training in job evaluation;
- work descriptions in their organization are accurate;
- consultation with the CPSA and other departments takes place in situations where it is warranted;
- all classification decisions have been arrived at in a transparent, equitable and consistent manner, and these decisions are appropriate and defensible; and
- there is effective control of the department's classification system through monitoring and internal audit to ensure the integrity of classification outcomes, and reports are submitted to central agencies as required.
Managers are responsible for ensuring that:
- they understand the classification system, including the use of classification standards and the allocation of positions to occupational groups;
- they obtain qualified advice on organizational design and on the content of work descriptions within their organizational context;
- their organization design and the assignment of work to positions are efficient, effective and within budget;
- as sponsors of the positions, they provide accurate and complete information to the human resources advisor or classification committee members, as appropriate;
- they identify significant changes in the work assigned to a position on a regular basis;
- work descriptions accurately reflect the work assigned and performed;
- they establish reasonable and defensible effective dates;
- they authorize work descriptions and encourage employees to read and sign their work description as an indication that they have read the information contained therein; and
- revised work descriptions are submitted for evaluation in a timely manner.
Human resources advisors with delegated classification authority are responsible for ensuring that:
- managers are advised on organizational design and work description content within the organizational context;
- managers are advised on the application of the classification system, interpretation of occupational group definitions, and application of the classification standards;
- the group allocation and level of the position is determined appropriately; and
- staffing authorities are consulted and a determination is made whether a new position is required or whether an evolution of the work has resulted in the reclassification of an existing position.
Managers with delegated classification authority are responsible for:
- approving decisions on the group allocation and level of the position; and
- approving decisions, after consultation with human resources advisors (classification and staffing), on whether a new position is required or whether an evolution of the work has resulted in the reclassification of an existing position.
Assignment of work
Appropriate decisions on organization design and the assignment of work are all part of sound human resources management. These decisions affect the long-term ability of departments and agencies to deliver programs and services, and to compete for resources and retain competent staff.
Managers are accountable for assigning or reassigning work in a timely and systematic manner and for analyzing the short- and long-term consequences of their decisions, within the context of effective human resources planning; otherwise, these decisions could inadvertently change the level of positions, impact on career mobility and employee productivity and/or increase the cost of the Public Service. In addition, being unaware of the impacts or waiting too long to take action could result in considerable salary liability for the department, and in some cases, the entire Public Service.
Managing changes in work
Managers should take the following steps when they recognize that work has changed significantly:
- review the content of work descriptions to identify changes (Guidelines on Work Description Writing);
- review the impacts of proposed ongoing or temporary changes in work on the group and level of positions, and discuss the impacts of these changes with a human resources advisor as soon as they are planned;
- deal with temporary changes in work by establishing a new position for a specified period or through an acting situation; and
- deal with new ongoing work either by establishing a new position or assigning the work to existing positions, if appropriate, and taking the appropriate staffing action.
Reasons for reclassification
The reasons for reclassification are included in the Position and Classification Information System (PCIS) – Departmental Guide, Field #13, Reason for Classification Decision codes. The reclassification of existing positions may typically take place for reasons such as:
- the result of a classification audit, central agency or departmental monitoring exercise or dispute resolution process (use as appropriate: code F = TB audit or monitoring; code G = Departmental audit or monitoring; or code D = Dispute resolution other than grievance);
- the result of a classification grievance decision (use code C = Grievance);
- the promotion of employees in incumbent-oriented occupational groups (code is under review - until further notice, leave blank and add a note in Remarks); or
- as part of a departmental Apprenticeship or Professional Training Program (APTP) established in accordance with the Public Service Commission Guide to Staffing Delegation, Appendix 9 (use code H = Training development).
Reclassifications may also take place when the work has evolved significantly over a period of time, usually from six to 12 months. This evolution of work may occur for the following reasons (use PCIS Reason code A = Change of duties):
- legislative changes resulting in new program requirements;
- central agency or departmental policy resulting in changes to existing programs, or changes to organizational mandates; or
- reorganization of work in response to conditions that increase or decrease available resources, to make more efficient and effective use of financial and human resources, or in response to other changes including technological innovations.
The effective date of the reclassification of an encumbered position may not take place in advance of the new work being assigned and performed.
Reclassification process
The process for the reclassification of an existing position where the work has evolved significantly is as follows:
- Validate the work description, usually through an on-site review, to ensure that the work assigned by the manager and described in the approved work description is the work performed. An on-site review is required in situations where the reclassification will have a significant impact, involves contentious issues, or whenever a better understanding of the work is required.
- For generic work descriptions, identify whether the changes apply to all or only some of the positions covered by the same generic work description (see Guidelines on Work Description Writing, Annex A – Guidelines on Using Generic Work Descriptions).
- Consult with other human resources advisors as appropriate, especially those in human resources planning, staffing and labour relations.
- Use an evaluation committee for all cases involving the reclassification of an existing position (Guidelines on the Evaluation Process).
- Evaluate the new work description (Guidelines on Evaluation Process), determine the evolution of work and the appropriate effective date of the reclassification based on the date the new work was assigned and performed (see Guidelines on Work Description Writing, Establishing Effective Date). When effectively managed, no effective date should be retroactive more than eighteen months.
- Maintain documentation supporting the reclassification decision on the classification file.
- Enter the new position data into the departmental human resources information system in a timely manner.
Establishment of a new position
A new position must be established in lieu of reclassifying an existing position in the following circumstances:
- A significant change in work results in an increase of more than one level in the current occupational group.
- The position has been reclassified within the last two years. Most work does not evolve at such a pace as to justify an additional change in level within this timeline unless the position is part of a departmental Apprenticeship or Professional Training Program (APTP) established in accordance with the Public Service Commission Guide to Staffing Delegation, Appendix 9.
- There are significant changes in the work that break the continuity of its evolution. This may include such changes as a new hierarchical reporting relationship, increased span of control, the addition of new functions, or increased responsibility for human resources.
- There is more than one position in the organization performing similar work, and not all are being reclassified. It is important to be transparent and fair. Rather than assigning the new work to one position in preference to another, a new position should be created so that consideration may be given to the career advancement of all the employees.
The "reason" code for a new position is included in the Position and Classification Information System (PCIS) – Departmental Guide, Field #13, Reason for Classification Decision. Use code J = New position.
Appointment process
The appointment process will differ depending on whether the classification action involves a reclassification or the establishment of a new position. Human resources advisors and managers should consult with their staffing advisors in advance of the classification action in order to understand the consequences of the proposed appointment process.
Consultation to maintain relativity
Departments must consult with the CPSA in accordance with the Classification System and Delegation of Authority Policy, Section 6.5.3 in a situation where the reclassification decision will:
- have a significant impact on interdepartmental relativity;
- have collective bargaining implications, or
- result in a significant increase in salary expenditures.
Documentation requirements for classification
Departments must retain the following documentation on the position file (hard copy or electronic) for all reclassifications:
- the previous work description with the effective date authorized by the appropriate manager's signature;
- the revised work description with the effective date authorized by the appropriate manager's signature;
- the organization chart;
- information that validates the selection of the effective date;
- a report of the on-site review, if applicable, confirming that the work description adequately describes the work assigned and performed by the employee (co-incidence);
- information that clearly illustrates the evolution of the work, provides the organizational context, and states why it is a reclassified position rather than a new position;
- classification committee report signed by all committee members;
- classification decision authorized by the delegated human resources advisor or delegated manager;
- a rationale that supports the classification decision, and any other relevant documentation.
The classification committee report, the authorized classification decision, the rationale, or other relevant information may be contained in the same document.
Reclassification must be included in the ongoing departmental active monitoring program.
The CPSA will also monitor reclassifications on a regular basis as part of its overall monitoring program.
Reporting of reclassification information
In addition to the ongoing monitoring programs, for additional transparency, each department must post information about the reclassification of encumbered positions on its departmental internet web site. The information must be updated on a quarterly basis.
Use fields from the Position and Classification Information System (PCIS) – Departmental Guide for the posted information, which should include:
- name of the organizational component within the department/agency (such as Branch or Sector) (use Field #9, Branch/Directorate/Division);
- position number and position title (use Field #2, Position Number; and Field #5, Position title – English or Field #6, Position Title - French);
- previous position classification (group, sub-group, level) (use Field #12, Previous Classification);
- reclassified position classification (group, sub-group, level) (use Field #3, Position Classification Code);
- job number if used for a generic work description (use Field #47, Job Number),
- reason for reclassification (use Field #13, Reason for Classification Decision).
Departmental active monitoring reports on reclassification are to be made available to the CPSA on request.

We spent two nights in the Bottleneck cabin last summer. First, the good - the setting was AMAZING - very private, surrounded by aspen, creek running a couple feet from the cabin. The bad - well, I was expecting no frills (it's the cheapest cabin at $85, and has no bathroom - and the owners are straightforward on the phone and website about what to expect), but good lord, those mattresses were awful. We're talking 30 year old summer camp mattresses. If I return to that cabin I'll bring my own sleeping pad. Their other cabins are out of my price range at $200+, so I can't comment on their condition. The pancakes at the restaurant are legendary, and worth a trip even if you don't stay the night there.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- We offer 11 housekeeping cabins. Each cabin has a full kitchen equipped with kitchen utensils as well as bedding, towel sets and unique bars of glycerin soap. Easy access to stream and lake fishing. The cafe is open 8-3 seven days a week. Very kid friendly! ... more less

Since the young people are the future decision makers they should be involved in the political process that affect their and their countries future.
Tunisian Youth Call for Greater Political Participation
By Racha Haffar | Feb 27 2013Constituent Assembly ,Elections ,ISIE ,Omezzine Khlifa ,Tunisia
Even though Omezzine Khlifa has founded a women's leadership group, worked as a media and telecommunications engineer, and served as adviser to the Minister of Finance and Tourism, she would not be eligible to apply for Tunisia's Independent Board of Elections (ISIE).
She has not yet reached the age of 35, a recently announced prerequisite for membership on the board, which will oversee Tunisia's general elections.
To protest what she considers to be ageist criteria, Omezzine, a member of the Ettakatol party, has launched an awareness campaign denouncing the exclusion of youth from the ISIE. Through Call for Nominations for Less than 35 years " Our Goal: 100 CVs, she hopes to gather 100 CVs of talented, responsible, and qualified young Tunisians, who would serve the board well, although they are unable to do so.
A generation full of innovation and inspiration can't find itself in any decision-making positions, Omezzine, 30, said. The generation that first sparked the revolution and caused the change of history has no right to be included in important actions, which affect their future.
She said she thought the recent ISIE decision was just one example of a growing disconnect in the country between youth and older generations, who are supposed to make decisions on their behalf.
Omezzine acknowledged that the law is final and that this campaign cannot change it " it can only draw attention to the exclusion youth are facing in post-revolutionary Tunisia.
Our powers, energy, and competencies are being discarded, she said. We have all qualifications but are being restricted because of our age.
Such exclusion is undemocratic, she said.
Omezzine said she sees great danger in eliminating youth from decision-making processes.
This decision will hinder the youth's willingness to participate in the coming elections, she said. Last elections' youth participation was almost 17 percent of the total voters. So how are we expecting to have a better chance in the coming elections without the youth's enthusiasm and participation?
Sana Mersni, a member of the National Constituent Assembly, told Tunisia Live that the age requirement for the ISIE was originally proposed to be 40 to 45. But younger members such as herself were able to negotiate to lower the age to 35.
She also mentioned that those who apply must have a minimum 10 years of professional experience, and that the assumption was that it would be hard for a 35-year-old to achieve this.
I, as a Tunisian youth, support this campaign as these young people demonstrate a high level of awareness, responsibility, and a willingness to be involved, Mersni said. Innovation is what we need, and it is what the youth can offer.
According to Neji Jmal, an NCA member from Ennahdha, I would prefer this campaign would have taken place while the law was still under discussion in December.
There is a possibility to change the law in the future, but for this year's elections it is probably too late, he said.
Jmal added, I support the youth in what they do and hope they bring about a future positive change.
The youth can always join the commitees that oversee the elections as observers this will give them some experience and may prepare them for the next elections.
It's difficult to acquire knowledgeable consumers on this subject, but you sound like you know what you are talking about! Thanks

We stayed at this hotel for 6 days and were very happy throughout our stay.
Everyone at the hotel, i e.
- porters
- cleaning staff
- Staff in the restaurant
- Staff at the pool
- reception staff
basically everyone made sure that our stay was a pleasant one. Any problems were sorted out in a very efficient manner.
On a personal note, I would like to relate an incident, which proves that the staff are very considerate when faced with a situation. The incident is:-
"During our stay, I managed to upset my wife on a small matter. In order to make amends, I asked the reception staff (about 8.00 pm), if they could get some flowers for my wife and place them in the room. At that point as were going out for dinner. So, the reception staff had about 2 hours to sort out my issue.
When we returned to our room, the bed was decorated with flowers in the shapes of animals and hearts. My wife was very pleased with this intricate decoration. We took some pictures.
This shows that the staff made sure that they were able to look after their guests in a personal manner."
The cleaning staff were excellent and also very helpful.
I would certainly recommend this hotel. Personal care is excellent. It is like a family atmosphere.
Best wishes to all staff,

Macmillan has produced a number of documents to assist GPs in influencing their local health economy and help shape the future of primary care.
From April 2015 one-year cancer survival rates, broken down by Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), will be included in the Delivery Dashboard of the NHS' Assurance Framework|. This is the only disease-specific outcome measure in the dashboard that is used to hold CCGs to account.
Macmillan GP Advisers have collaborated with Macmillan's Commissioning Support Programme to develop a new guide -Top tips for Commissioners: Improving one-year cancer survival [PDF, 3MB]|.
This guide brings together national intelligence, data sources and examples of strategies useful to local commissioners seeking to improve one-year cancer survival rates for their local population. It also provides the policy background to cancer survival as a national priority. Hyperlinks to useful data sources, resources and further information are included throughout.
Patients who have received Systemic Anti-Cancer Treatment (SACT) or radiotherapy, or those at risk of disease related immune-suppression often present to primary care with problems linked to their treatment or disease. The level of risk associated with these problems is significantly increased in this patient group.
The UK Oncology Nursing Society (UKONS) have collaborated with Macmillan GPs to develop their Acute Oncology Guidelines| for Primary Care, an easily used risk assessment tool.
Please be aware that advice line numbers will differ across the country. Contact your oncology or acute oncology service to identify the number specific to your locality before adding to the tool as a reminder prior to local circulation.
Macmillan GP Adviser Charles Campion-Smith has been working with the team at BMJ Learning to produce a module aimed at GPs and practice nurses.
The module focuses on the benefits of a high quality cancer care review, but incorporates other aspects such as the management of late effects of cancer and cancer treatments. The module:

Star Dragon Chapter 3Disclaimer: Don't own the Dark-hunter series or Inuyasha.Star Dragon Chapter 3 by wereangewomon
A/N: This does take place around the same time as Retribution. Only because I just started reading it. I'm also using Google translate for the Japanese so I'm sorry if it's not correct.
Chapter 3: Trust Issues
Kaname had to admit the sensei knew what he was doing. He was firm, but not overwhelming. She would also admit that he was incredibly handsome. But under no circumstances would she ever trust him. Main reason for this: he didn't have a soul. The last time she met someone who didn't have a soul, she nearly lost hers. It was an experience she never wanted to repeat. The reason she could tell he had no soul was because he didn't glow. Her shikigami allowed her to see the inner light of anything, each aura had its own color and feeling, some colors were extremely similar but still unique. Dragon was completely dark. Also his name, Dragon, how cliché was that?
Kaname's uncle had given her a car to use, but she preferred wa

Thankfully no dark-hunters had been killed yet, but it was only a matter of time unless they figured away around the Daimons new freedom. His midnight black eyes shifted to the right where his clock rested on a nightstand. Five thirty pm. The sun was just starting to set. He had an hour to get dressed and to head out to his dojo.

He had a bad track record of having to run out of his classes due to Daimon attacks, not that his class or his assistants knew that.

Originally written on Project Spurs | Last updated 8/9/13
For San Antonio Spurs guard Patty Mills, finishing with anything short of a medal in next year's World Cup will be seen as a failure. Mills told stuff.co.nz that after rebuilding for four years and finishing seventh in last Summer's Olympic games, Australia is ready to go after a medal. "That's got to be our mentality. It's the one we had in London and it has to be the mentality in every tournament we play in. Whether it's the next world championships or the Olympics, our goal has got to be to win a medal." Mills made waves with his performance with the Boomers during the Olympics, making him a hot commodity in the free agent market last Summer before the Spurs re-signed him. Mills will be joined on Team Australia with fellow Spur Aron Baynes. If the team is able to get Andrew Bogut back on the national roster, that should go a long way in assuring Australia gets to the podium at the FIBA World Cup, a feat they have never accomplished in 10 appearances. "There's no point going into tournaments just to compete ... we have to believe we can do it. Deep down inside, I think we can get to that point at some stage in the near future." Mills will be with Australia when they play New Zealand in the second game of the 2013 FIBA Oceania Championship series on August 18. The series will be the first time Australia will be without their longtime coach and Spurs assistant Brett Brown as Andrej Lemanis takes the reigns as the national team's new head coach. "I can't say enough personally for what Brett has done for me personally and our team,. He came in after the Beijing Olympics and said this is our unit, we're going to start from scratch and build this team, try and form a powerhouse." Mills said Lemanis will continue where Brown left off and keep the same system as the Boomer look to achieve new goals.

Delta Staff Get Tech Savvy - Analyst Blog
Delta Air Lines
) will allow over 19,000 flight attendants to use Windows Phone 8
enabled devices for fast and smooth on-board communication. This
will also render improved services for flyers.
The gadget - a Lumia 820 from Nokia Corporation ( NOK ) - will help Delta flight staff to offer passengers with swift credit card processing for in-flight purchases. Customers can also avail the facility to upgrade to the trendy Economy Comfort seating while in jet. Going further, the airline plans to extend customer-specific information to the attendants for better customized services.
These devices will be connected through Wi-Fi, on AT&T Inc. 's ( T ) 4G network. This move calls for expansion of services in the coming three years and to the newly launched Nokia phones.
Over the last couple of months, Delta - the second largest airline company in the U.S. after United Continental Holdings Inc. ( UAL ) - is concentrating on technological upgrade for efficient and hassle-free operations. Last year, the carrier introduced Fly Delta app for iPad as well as inaugurated the new delta.com website.
For the balance of the year, we expect Delta to perform impressively on various strategic measures such as route launch, renovation of airport terminals, revamping of fleet structures and profitable acquisitions. Management's balanced capital deployment plan is expected to enhance shareholder value.
Nevertheless, we stay on the sidelines considering certain risk factors that the company encounters. These include fuel price and economic volatility, labor trouble, political outbursts and federal directives.
Delta - which offers in-air Wi-Fi on more than 800 aircraft - carries a Zacks Rank #3, implying a Hold rating.

I can\'t stand early mock drafts and have made that known several times over the course of the years. This is why I wait until right after the Senior Bowl before releasing my own versions of the yearly educated guesses as I like to pour over several hours of tape from the college season before creating a starting point.
That being said, I know a lot of you are itching to talk draft so I will give you a place to sound your thoughts on various draft topics until we get past the Senior Bowl. These post will sometimes include talks about a selection of players from various positions as well.
If you feel so inclined, list the players that you think the Steelers will draft in the first three rounds of the 2013 NFL draft and give your reasons as to why with each. It is fine if you are going to criticize one of the ones posted, but it is only fair that you throw your own selections out to be critiqued as well. Also, please spare us the "player x won\'t be on the board there" comments.
Keep it civil as I have a hard enough time babysitting myself.
1) Manti Teo ILB Notre Dame
2) Alex Okafor OLB Texas
3) Phillip Thomas S Fresno St.
If they cut Colon and let Foster leave via free agency, I wouldn't mind picking Chance Warmack G from Alabama in the first round. That's a lot of "ifs" though.
Forget Teo…he was exposed last night. Alabama made him look like a high school kid. Look, I said this before…I said it last year when I wanted Kalil. When the quality for an OL is there… take it. Both Barret Jones and Chance Warmack will be available to us in the first round. These guys are plugnplay from day 1. These are top quality OLs for many years to come. These guys are why Alabama won. Don't doubt me on this. Defense? Defense in round 1? We had the #1 defense guys.
I like Kenny Vacarro in the first, Kevin Minter in the 2nd, and Marcus Lattimore in the 3rd.
Vacarro: would seemingly relieve the heartburn I have when watching the injury reports and seeing Troy's name there every week.
Minter: Replacement for Foote. Tackling Machine. A little underrated coming into the year and outshined on his own D by Reid, Mingo, and Montgomery.
Lattimore: Absolute stud. Unfortunate injury, but as a gamecock fan I watched him come back from the first one and he will be back. Probably ready to go by the end of the year. This will allow us to ride with Red and JD until Lattimore is good to go, then we have a first round pick for a third round price. How about that for value?
Thats what they said with Decastro and Adams
TE RB ILB not in that order
I personally thought that Te'o was an overrated player going into last nights BCS Championship game. Obviously that game didn't help him any
What does that mean? Adams played great when in the game and DD got hurt. They were both great picks. This year, our O-line should pop together. DD was the best rated guard and Adams was the 3rd rated LT prospect behind Kalil and Reiff. What more do you want?
I dont like doing Mock drafts either, but here goes:
1st Rd – Safety K.Vaccaro – I think it goes without saying that SS is a huge need and soon. The argument is always between Vaccaro, Reid & Elam, I like ALL in the conversation, but I like Vaccaro best
2nd Rd – OLB Chase Thomas – Durability and intelligence, good footwork and good use of hands helps him to defeat pass blockers, he is also beastly against the run
3rd Rd – ILB Nico Johnson or RB Montee Ball – Either one of these guys would be welcomed. Obviously we need more production at the RB position. At ILB, we really have no one behind Timmons and Foote (except maybe Spence)
1. Sam Montgomery DE/OLB LSU
2. Justin Hunter WR Tennessee
3. Tony Jefferson S Oklahoma
I like rounds 2 and 3, but I am not buying all the hype on Te'o
1st round one of the Bama OLs.
2nd round – Heath's replacement (Eifert – ND would be nice)
3rd round – OK fine…someone for the defense
Although its true we had the #1 defense, there were far too few disruptive, takeaway-type plays. But, you have an excellent point as well.
They were not plugnplay like we thought, with the Steelers they don't like plugnplay, they like to hold them back for some reason. Pouncey played right away but his play is awful lately
Just a general question for anyone: what, if any, supplemental picks will we have? Any thoughts on compensatory selections? Any chance we could make a trade or two?
when will you be posting yours?
I haven't read or watched enough yet
1. Alec Ogletree- faster then te'o more athletic
2. Ezekiel Ansah
3. Michael William TE- might be a stretch
1. As of right now I'm not sold on any prospect that sits around #17 and Steelers have many holes. I trade down and select S Matt Elam. Elam fits right in to the defensive backfield and gets to learn behind Clark and Polamalu.
2. OLB- Chase Thomas- Fills the hole at ROLB. He isn't as quick as some of the other OLB prospects in RD 1 like Mingo or Okafor but think Clay Matthews clone on this.
3a. WR Ryan Swope- this kid does nothing flashy. All he does is produce. A mix between Hines Ward and Jordy Nelson.
3b. Received this pic by trading down in the first, RB Montee Ball. Finally get a #1 back who can run, catch and pick up the blitz.
This might be the year that all the poor draft picks after rd one come back to bite the Steelers in the ass. They should have repl for Harrison ILB NT TE RB
That's what I'm afraid of…I really believe someone is gonna dangle bags of money at Foster and he's gone. Colon can't stay healthy. We're in the same mess trying to find fresh bodies to protect Ben and make holes…and it won't happen. We need to be proactive. OK last year with DD and Adams…good…let's round it out with one of those beasts from Bama.
Yes, but the Offense is still young and has room for growth. I do think we need RB and WR and another OL (especially if Starks and Foster are gone) BUT between this offseason and next Harrison, Foote and Hampton could be gone and soon after that Clark, Troy and Ike will be gone
The line coach has a lot to do with that. It's good he is gone. They need more of a fundamentalist coaching that position.
1. Whatever OLB prospect is on the board
2. Highest rated safety on the board
3. DL or OL…whatever has the best value.
I don't understand how people don't see our need for a solid pass rusher. The whole defense is based on QB pressure and it has been non-existent. Woodley is too big and slow it seems and Harrison is gone.
I like this mock
I think we may get one compensatory for William Gay this year… but 2014 we should get a few pending what happens with Wallace, Mendy, K.Lewis, Starks etc
BINGO!! He was hired after being let go by the Bills, then Urbik goes there and becomes a star
1. Alec Ogletree, ILB, Georgia
2. Eddie Lacy, RB, Alabama
3.T.J. McDonald, S, USA
I am okay with pretty much any draft in the first 3 which brings us an OLB, an ILB, and a S.
(*Steelers trade out of 1st round and pick up two 2nd round picks and a 3rd round pick. I know, it won't ever happen. Piss off, I'm having fun.)
2)LB – Chase Thomas 6-2, 230 Stanford
-love this guy. absolutely relentless. 4 year starter that played in a 3/4 defense, and he could've come out last year, but he stayed to make himself better.
2)WR – Da'Rick Rogers 6-2, 210 Tennessee Tech
-speed. size. talent. failed drug tests, but he can be a #1 or #2 WR and was the Vols best receiver a year ago.
2)CB – Tyrann Mathieu 5-9, 175 LSU
-oh yeah, the honey badger. slot cornerback that can help with the turnover ratio. going to jail and a year away from football helped him to see what's important.
3)LB – Kiko Alonso 6-2, 245 Oregon
-we need a MLB. this guy was suspended after a DUI in 2010, but the next year was MVP in the Rose Bowl. great football instincts and has more potential than probable 1st rounder Dion Jordan. the problem is he's dumb as a rock off the field.
3)DE – Margus Hunt 6-7, 280 SMU
-the guy is a monster. if I had one player I'd like to see the Steelers develop it would be him. I'm not sure he lasts this long in the draft.
If they re-sign Keenan Lewis
1. Trade down to mid – late 20's: Alex Okafor DE/OLB
2. Eddie Lacy RB
3. Landry Jones QB
If they don't re-sign Keenan Lewis
1. Xavier Rhodes CB
2. Eddie Lacy RB
3. Landry Jones QB
If Jones is unavailable in either scenario best OLB on the board
I like it.
I doubt Lacy will be there in the second.
1.) Ezekiel Ansah – OLB BYU
2.) Kevin Minter – ILB LSU
3.) Montee Ball – RB Wisconsin OR Marcus Lattimore – RB South Carolina
If we re-sign Foster, I think OL is fine
I like the Chase Thomas pick in the 2nd.. and the early WR pick
I like your mock. Replace Montee Ball with Lattimore and I agree wholeheartedly. Ball is gone by 45.
I don't watch enough college ball to get a good feel for specific players…but by position, my mock would be 1. OLB, 2. RB, 3. Safety
Warmack, Pouncey, Decastro would be a tough interior line. That would be pretty nice
1# I would love one of the bama backs – even if DD, Adams etc play great next year, the Oline is for me the fundament of offensive success! If that's not the thought of the staff I would choose a OLB, preferably Ansah
2# In the 1st case I would elect a OLB now – Okafor eg. or perhaps Ansah is still available here -> if we've selected an OLB in the 1st I would pick a Safety here
3# ILB Mr. Nico Johnson is my pick or an safety – one of the two should be the 3rd or the 4th pick, if safety isn't choosed in round 2!
Some wish player are: Ziggy Ansah OLB, Chance Warmack G, Matt Elam S, Michael Williams TE
-> emphasizing wish
Both are play-makers at the RB position, i'd be fine with either. Also Ball could drop because 1 RB isn't that big of a need for many teams and 2 Eddie Lacy will defiantly be the first RB off the board and a couple others could go before Ball.
Middle of the second for Eifert would be a steal
I like ALL of those 'wish' players
Ogletree is my early favorite.
1)Alec Ogletree, ILB Georgia
2)Margus Hunt, DE Southern Methodist
3) Marcus Lattimore, RB South Carolina
I'm happy taking BPA as long as it's not OL, RB, or WR in the first. In a perfect world, they trade to later in the first. You don't need an interior of first round picks. That's insane with the age on the defensive side of the ball. There are no plug and plays out there for the D. The future needs to be planned for.
As for players, my two early favorites are Ansah and Elam.
Chance Warmack will not be available at #17, but I would love the pick. I don't care if people don't want to take ANOTHER O-lineman early in the draft, but if he's available you can't pass him up especially will all the injuries we usually sustain.
I would be gleeful if this were to happen.
Poor draft picks like Keenan Lewis, Mike Wallace, Emmanuel Sanders, Cortez Allen, LaMarr Woodley, Larry Foote, Steve McLendon, Brett Keisel, Willie Colon, Antonio Brown?
Considering that the Steelers do not sign many starters in free agency from other teams, the team's success is directly related to the drafting success that they have had. Since they've been to 3 Super Bowls in the last 8 years, I think it's safe to say they are pretty good at the draft.
1 – Warmack OG 'Bama
2 – Rambo S Georgia
3 – Landry Jones QB Oklahoma
1st – Could easily be Jones C/G from "Bama as well, but we take the future LG is Warmack is available at 17. Rambo lays the wood like the other Rambo and will do well learning for a season behind Clark & The Hair – He probly ends up playing 5-6 games due to injuries anyways.
We begin sculpting our QB of the future in Jones, he starts at the end of Ben's contract when we send him packing.
Trade Ben to Arizona for this years 1st and 3rd round picks.
With the first trade back to the mid 1st for a 1st and 2nd. Still with me?
With the mid round first take Ogletree – ILB Georgia
The mid round 2nd – Eddie Lacy – RB Bama
Cardinals 3rd – Chase Thomas – OLB Stanford
… 😛
most people on here as well as writers understand the need for a OLB.
first round, steelers trade with titans their first and third soy they get Miningo LSU, second round they draft Eddie Lacy Alabama
It is way to hard to tell who will end up where, but since everyone else is doing it…
1. Chance Warmack- Can't pass up a LG this good. Foster is just avg.
2. Zack Ertz TE Stanford- great all around TE, will help in the redzone and run game.
3. Joseph Randle RB Oklahoma St. (Splash play guy lol)
#1 ranked def and a offense that can't finish games, we have starters on D, just need depth.
The defense did way more than its job this year. Yes, "splash" plays are nice but the D got off the field and gave up very few yards. Point is put a 10-16 Offense in there and this team flourishes. Wayyyyyyy more room for improvement on the offense than defense.
He had tons of hype b/c ND was 12-0. If they were 9-3 or 10-2, he would not have had all the TV segments and everything. I like to think most NFL scouts didn't have him rated thattt high and last nights game probly didnt change their opinions too too much. Pro Day and the Scouting Combine will matter more for Manti.
Lacy is pretty good, and he really didn't get all that many carries this year. I think he averaged something like 13 a game. Def wouldn't mind him. I like Randle from Oklahoma St.
I don't know who the steelers will draft, but I have a hunch that they are going to pick up Tyler Eifert from Notre Dame. He reminds me of Heath, but bigger and he could be developed into a better blocker. There's also the possibility of drafting Montee Ball, has a high motor and can be developed into an all purpose back. And the steelers will most likely draft either Kenny Vacarro from Texas or Matt Elam from Florida. Both really good Safeties, and the steelers like their longhorns and gators… so yup!
Steelers are looking for a starter and someone to contirbute with more splash plays with their first pick. There are not too many options to choose from at 17 for starter material and Ramon Foster is not a mauler.
1. Chance Warmack, OG
2. Alex Okafor, OLB
3. T.J. McDonald, S
Mingo LSU olb trading to titans, steelers give their first and third, second they get RB Lacy
I can't see anyone giving Foster an outrageous offer. I think he'll get interest, but nothing too far out of line.
1.Kevin Minter,ILB,LSU
2.Keenan Allen,WR,CAL
3.Joseph Fauria,TE,UCLA
Yeah, I doubt he is there but it would be nice.
You would be absolutely surprised. I wasn't necessarily referring to this chat board and more than a few "professional" writers don't have OLB as the top priority.
1. Alec Ogletree, ILB, Georgia
2. Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida St./ Hunter or Patterson, WR, Tenn.
3. Bacarri Rambo, S, Georgia
Few people thought it would be that simple, yet without the injury Decastro would have been the day one starter.
Urbik is a star? It was a mistake to let him go in favor of Hills, not doubt, but I would hardly call him a star.
RB is not a 1-3 need. TE only if the talent is there. OLB, ILB, OL and S are bigger needs.
1. Manti Teo ILB- they need help at ILB Spence could move to another position and Foote will likely be gone
2. CB Desmond Trufant- Taylor is getting old and they will defiantly need a CB if Lewis doesn't' come back
3. OLB Sean Porter- Harrison is getting old and Carter hasn't done much( Worilds is better at LOLB than ROLB i don't think he was very good when he filled in for Harrison on the right side
here is my whole draft that i did not to long ago
1.ILB Manti Te'O
2.CB Desmond Trufant
3.OLB Sean Porter
4.FS Bacarri Rambo
5.RB Ray Graham
6.WR Marcus Davis/or CB Tyranny Mathieu ( either one would be a good addition)
7.QB Collin Klein
so was DeCastro, I really like Matt Elam ss/fs Florida, Warmack or Jones from Bama, Jenkins OLB-Florida St in the 3rd, Rambo SS-Georga in the 4th
Minter will be gone in the 1st, I like Teo but Minter is better and stronger than Ogletree.
Best available athlete at a position of need. Noone knows who will be available. So thats how to draft in each round.
Ok 1 Eifert TE ND
2 Stepfan Taylor RB Stanford
3 Reddick ILB UNC
Best available athlete at a position of need. Noone knows who all will be available, so thats how to do it, at each round.
1) Alec Ogletree ILB Georgia
2) Barrett Jones C/G Alabama
3) T.J Mcdonald FS USC
4) Brad Wing P LSU
5) Christine Michael RB Texas A&M
6) Larry Black Jr. DT Indiana
7) Andre Debose WR Florida
Black Jr. is just another guy to take a chance on late to see if he can bulk up and play the position and Debose would be okay as a 4th or 5th WR that they can just run deep (which is what Wallace is really) Of course, Brown and Sanders arent much more, just capable of running a few more than go routes.
Need a QB and OLB too, but those are the guys that may end up being the best need fillers in those rounds… Denard Robinson would be nice late, use him as emergency QB and a WR but probably be gone before they could throw the pick away. If they would sign Brandon Jacobs and keep Keenan Lewis, I think that would be enough to compete next season
Lewis is gone, so is Wallace they have no ILB and no nose tackles. mcLendon wasn't drafted. They have failed to develop key players 25-30 years of age. Look at all their drafts and some have nobody on the team after rd one. Willie Colon stinks
1) OLB Dion Jordan – Fantastic fit, best OLB cover skills ever, great speed, unlimited upside
alternate: OLB Barkevious Mingo – speed, speed, speed with good fundamentals
(both prospect need to muscle up)
2) WR Justin Hunter – finally a tall, red zone WR with reliable hands, unlike Sweed. Perfect fit in the Haley O, great route running, good deep speed, huge upside
alternate a): WR DeAndre Hopkins – fantastic route runner
alternate b): ILB Arthur Brown – great fit, good speed, good play recognition, sound technique, great tackling, hard hitter (unlike Spence)
3) backup QB Zac Dysert – very underrated, maybe the best pocket QB in this draft with great intangibles, precise and strong arm, good pocket awareness. The next big thing out of Miami (OH)
alternate: Stephon Taylor – superb inside runner, all-down back
Ryan Swope and Pittsburgh Steelers is a perfect match! Great mock.
Possibly when I learn more about all of the players available in this years draft. Or I guess when I feel inclined to do so.
If my Manti Te'o sentiment was too critical for you and you're upset that I haven't posted a mock draft for you to criticize, just go after my opinion of Te'o.
I like what Xavier Rhodes brigns to the table
LG: Resign Foster
WR: Resign Wallace
QB(2): Sign Hoyer or Orton
CB: Sign Lewis
Now obviously this offseason is full of assumptions. I think this draft can help address some of the problems we currently have.
1. Manti T'eo ILB, Notre Dame. This kid will bring a face to our Defense once Harrison and Polamalu retire. This kid had one bad game against an OL that will have three 1st round picks this coming April. This will allow Timmons to stay in his natural weak-side spot. Sean Spence will be able to come in on third downs to provide relief for either T'eo and Timmons throughout the season.
Alternative: Barkevious Mingo OLB/DE, LSU
2. Eric Reid S, LSU. This kid can play either S position more natural as FS. He is a clone of Ryan Clark. Can cover a lot of ground and can put on a big hit in the run game.
Alternative: Alex Okafor OLB/DE, Texas (if T'eo)
3. Sean Porter OLB, Texas A&M. This kid has dropped on most boards because they switched from a 3-4 Defense to a 4-3. He was projected at the beginning of the year to go in late 1st- early 2nd.
Alternative: Le'Veon Bell RB, Michigan St.
4. Michael Williams TE, Alabama. This guy is a great run blocker and can make plays through the air. With Heath Miller due to miss some time next season and Paulson as the only back-up, I think it's time to find some help.
Alternative: Duke Williams S, Nevada
5. Marcus Lattimore RB, USC. Teams are gonna be scared away by his back-to-back knee injuries thus dropping him to this point. This is the same spot we drafted Dwyer with concerns about his weight. Lattimore when healthy is a workhorse and a beast. This would be a gem to an already loaded draft.
Alternative: Braden Hansen G/C, BYU
6. Ryan Allen P, Louisiana Tech. Top punter behind Brad Wing. Wing has failed multiple drug tests and the Steelers will never bring that character into the locker room.
(William Gay Comp.) 6. Alex Carder QB, Western Michigan. Bring is some young blood to compete for the backup position.
7. Kenny Okoro CB, Wake Forest. Has the size and speed to play cornerback. Look to use as a project.
I am not into mocking that many rounds yet.
1st round- WR DeAndre Hopkins .
2nd round RB Eddie Lacy. But Lacy probably will be off the board between pick 25 and pick 40. So this pick probably has no chance.
Unless the Steelers do some trading or are very lucky.
Good players, but you might have to switch first and seconds round players
I like Jordan , but I would take Hopkins before Hunter.
Not a chance Rhodes Drops to our pick in the 2nd round
maybe desmond trufant from wash but then again i would just go ahead and draft Patterson if that were the case.
I'd love Eddie Lacy, but I think his stock went up too much from that national championship game to get him in the second. I hope though.
You think Lattimore will be worth a 3 with all those knee injuries? He won't be ready for the combine, so it's pretty much a risk. In fact, as gruesome as his injury was he might not even be ready for his rookie season. Very good player though, so he might be worth a risk in the 3rd; interesting.
1. Elam – SS, Florida
2. Brandon Jackson – OLB, FSU
3. Montee Ball – RB, Wisconsin
Free agency losses have nothing to do with draft performance and I don't quite understand the "they fail to develop key players 25-30″ part. That being said, however, the Steelers have, so far, struck out with the D-Line picks in recent years, but it has been way too short to call it failure now.
1. OJ Simpson
2. Ray Lewis
2. That dude from the Panthers who whacked his girl friend
We kill everyone with that line up
Haha, a punter with bad character. Funny shit!
I'm all for taking a chance on a player, but taking a chance on multiple players makes for a bad locker room atmosphere (potentially). Take a chance on one of those guys (Mathieu/Alonso)
Awww, c'mon, you're one pick away. Shoot for the stars!
Only if you include pacman jones
good point, maybe in the 5th
Do you think we trade up to Te'o? Because assuming we do, we would probably lose one of our picks from this draft depending on how far we go
I don't think we go TE in Round 1
Some mocks have McDonald going in the 1st round
You and a few others have McDonald as a potential 3, but I seem him as a 1 in a few mocks. Also, I do not see Wing in the 4th. Or at all.
Why the hostility for our two-time Superbowl winning QB who is only 30 years old? Because he had one rough season? Not even, he had a rough end of a season. Don't see many people that want to trade away or send a franchise QB packing.
I personally do not think we will have to trade up. Most of the teams ahead of us are looking for outside pass rushers including us. I know one game will not blow up his draft stock, but his numbers at the combine are not gonna help too much. Most sites I have read say 4.65 – 4.8 which might actually hurt his stock more and cement him in the middle of the first round. I think their is more than a football player in this guy that brings added value. A leader who gives all out effort and devotion to the team. Finally a replacement for James Farrior.
Mel Kiper has him as #2 on his board right now, so I think that it would take a massive bomb at the combine for him to drop to #17 or within 5 picks of it. I see him as a top 10 pick easily
1. Matt Elam- this is the next Polamalu, hes a monster and this is your only chance to get him. HOWEVER i feel the steelers will go with an OLB in the first round because they have troy/ryan for at least another year, and need more pressure on the QB.
2. Chase Thomas/Alex Okafor- Getting Okafor in the second would be a dream come true if we got elam as well but Thomas is more likely. Obviously we need a pass rusher (or a healthy one at least)
3. Ryan Swope- hes a beast reciver, hopefully he will be available, either way the best reciver needs to be taken in this round
4. Nico Johnson- he was a great run stuffer, lack in man coverage but that timmons job. Johnson can command the defense and play the middle zone well while solid on the run. He got a lot of media attention for the championship, despite having an average game. I say let him compete for middle and attempt Spence move to saftey, he has the speed if he can drop 10 pounds.
It is a big risk, but I think he is up for the challenge. I went to high school with him and know him and his mentality. Plus everything was fixed with one surgery which is bonus and a good start to recovery.
that's why we guess
I personally feel an OLB would be best, but if he is there I would take him. I honestly have Warmack as my #1 favorite right now. Warmack, Pouncey, DeCastro would be a lethal inside game.
Probably not, I saw McDonald is projected at a 2-3 on I think ESPN and CBS, so I figured maybe he would slide to 3, maybe they would have to trade up. They desperately need a P and Wing is the best in the draft. Dont know if they would ever go that route again though since Sepulveda was a 4th rounder as well I believe.
Would also like to see a DT come off the board quicker than 6 as I think its a pressing need and CB is needed as well if they are letting Lewis walk.
However they do it, they need to figure out a way to bring Barret Jones in, pick up a Ray Graham or Michael late for the RB and spell them with Dwyer if need be and try to add depth at LB and line on both sides of the ball.
Omfg did you just really say trade Ben to AZ? And for only 1st and 3rd round picks? You are a complete FAIL
What position would Spence move to?
No Donte Stallworth, no go for me.
1. Ziggy Ansah – DE/OLB – BYU
2. Da'Rick Rogers – WR – some small Tennessee school b/c he was (is?) an idiot
3. Travis Kelce – TE – Cincinatti
4. Rambo – S – Georgia
Call me crazy, but I don't see a need for RB until late. Our OLine should become better w/Decastro and a Foster resign – get Lattimore late. Not a big fan of Tyrann Matthieu but if he's a 6 or 7, go for it with a compensatory pick. I also see Foote staying for cheap and Spence contributing more as the year goes on.
Also wouldn't mind if Swope went in 3rd w/Eddie Lacy going in the 2nd. I like Lacy.
1) Manti Te'o, LB. ND
2) Eddie Lacy, RB. AL
3) Sean Porter, OLB. A&M
Rd. 1 -C. Warmack (OL) Alabama
Rd. 2 -M. Hunt (DE) SMU
Rd. 3 -T. Kelce (TE) Cincinnati
If Minter runs a 4.6 or under and Keenan Allen runs a 4.53 to 4.55, there a possibility that Minter rise to the mid to late first round range and
Keenan Allen fall to us in the second round.
I definitely believe a defensive player and a RB will be selected in rounds 2 and 3. Probably DE , ILB or SS. Its going to depend a lot on who's still available when the Steelers pick. One RB I like in round 3 is a Soph. who declared. As of today my two favorite selected (Hopkins and Lacy) above have not declared for the 2013 draft.
Silas Redd comes out this year, right? He'd be another one to keep an eye on if Ball is gone.
Me too. I think Warmack is the best pick we could make, but we don't get a chance to grab him at #17.
1. ansah-DE
2. jefferson-S
3. hamilton-WR
This is difficult without knowing who the Steelers will re-sign, I'm picking assuming that the vets (Harrison, Colon, Hampton, Foote, Keisel etc.) & Wallace + Lewis all return in 2013 & Mendenhall leaves.
Rd 1. Jesse Williams NT Alabama. Hampton's replacement, will learn while Casey plays for one more season before taking over in 2014. (projected at 20)
Rd.2. Ed Lacy RB Alabama. Low mileage combo-back similar to Mendenhall but runs much harder. (projected at 49)
Rd.3. Alec Ogletree ILB Georgia. (either ILB or OLB – dunno why others here have him as a 1st Rder) assuming he will slip to this spot (projected at 53). Needs a year to add size & strength while gaining valuable experience as a back-up. From his Bio –
STRENGTHS: A former safety, Ogletree showed off his terrific range
and athleticism, making plays all over the field in 2012 and was often
the best player on a defense loaded with NFL talent.
Terrific quickness around the edge, capable of making stops in the
backfield and is fast in pursuit. Doesn't shy from making the big hit.
Arrives with deceiving power and violent intentions. Lengthy frame,
athleticism and experience in coverage. Has the long arms scouts like
from linebackers.
Excellent special teams player whose ball skills were demonstrated
when he leapt high to snatch an onside kick early against LSU in the SEC
Championship game.
WEAKNESSES: Needs to be more consistent filling against the run and
tackling with better pad level. Leaner than ideal frame. He'll need to
show greater strength in disengaging from blockers. Off-field concern
following a four-game suspension in 2012, reportedly for violating
Georgia's substance-abuse policy.
Think Thomas will be a really good surprise…Te'o scares me.
Have np with taking a HB in the 3rd but do not like the style of HB
margus would be interesting
why on earth is anyone talking about drafting a receiver? Personally, trade Wallace and your first round pick and move up in the draft to take Barrett Jones. Move Pouncey to guard. Two birds, one stone.
Adams sucked this year. Played like a rookie who was not ready to play. I too thought DD was a steal or gift fell to us, but before injury & after returned he got schooled by any lineman. That doesnt mean he cant get better.
Think Luke Keuchly from last year. Top ten linebacker without the hype.
Love the concept. I know people get all worked up about Ben, but I think he's seen better days. He's beat up, doesn't get the ball out quick enough, and doesn't seem like he can read a defense as well as some of the rookies coming out.
Im also in the camp to get rid of Hampton, Harrison and Polamalu. With me on that one?
Good point.
man… would have been nice to have drafted Ty Cody from Bama instead of the Ravens.
1. a punter
2. a deep snapper
3. another punter
Interior lineman rarely get picked early – look at DeCastro who was one of the plug&play-players in last years draft – and even if the two bama' lineman are that highly rated, one of them will be available at pick #17!! I personally hope Warmack and guess it will be him – and then he's one of the guys where the staff will forget their Draft Plan and pick the BPA.
I agree fosters not a mauler but he was our besrt lineman last yr
1) Barkevious Mingo OLB LSU – Our pass rush sucks, Harrison could be released in the summer and Worilds & Carter don't look like the long term solution. Mingo fills a big need and if he can add some muscle whilst retaining his speed he could be a top pass rusher in the league.
Other possibilities: Te'o if he slides, Sam Montgomery or Chance Warmack.
2) Larry Warford G Kentucky – Warford is a big mauler who could start immediately at LG. He's good in pass protection and can open holes in the ground game. Watch for him at the senior bowl as I expect his stock to rise.
3) Ryan Swope WR Texas A&M – Swope can be a great receiver in the league. Underrated speed and not afraid to go up and catch a ball in the middle of the field. But up big numbers against LSU and Bama this year. He could be a leader on our offence for years to come.
4) Andrew Jackson ILB WKU – Larry Foote ain't getting any younger and Jackson is a physical linebacker with good instincts.
5) Isaiah Johnson S Georgia Tech – Johnson isn't a finished article yet but has a strong upside and is good value in the 5th.
6) Cameron Marshall RB Arizona State – Good size & speed and a tough runner.
7) A.J. Francis DL Maryland – We need some d-line depth and AJ adds that.
Cant trade Wallace as he is no longer under contract. Also, Barrett Jones is still projected in the middle of the 2nd round, so trading up to take him higher in first wouldnt make much sense. I think they could try and package some picks to move up in 2nd and get Jones there, agree that and moving Pouncey to G would boost the O-line, but still need a receiver without Wallace.
1.reid/elam or best s/cb avail.
2 in/out lb best avail.
3. Rb-lattimore
4 in/out lb whichever not picked in rd 1
5. Wr
7. Qb
Any comp pick ol/dl
Haven't really followed college football that much i based some of the names off of all the comments i have read and trust you steelers fans judgement because well your steeler fans of course but from what i did see i really like us to get the honeybadger he reminds me of tp43 and also lattimore,reid,and elam thought about teo but not so sure now cause of speed and he didn't show me nothing in a big game which we expect to be in alot of remember the sard is the standard is the standard
1. Keenan Allen (possession receiver perfect for a Haley offense)
2. Tj McDonald (Ryan Clark jr)
3. Sean Porter(known best for his PASS RUSHING)
4. Stefphon Jefferson (sleeper pick nice size and good speed
5. Michael Mauti (best chance at filling a need in the fifth round)
I know you said first three but the fifth rounder is my favorite and I had to get it in there
Imho i think position order should go as follows.
I dont think we need a running back because i believe that they should convert will johnson(fb) as r new power rb. He has all the makings of a bettis, he has soft hands, nimble feet and the strength and agility. I really think they should make him the feature RB.
At the time I was against drafting him after watching Cody play next to Dan Williams in the East/West Shrine Game but he's rounded out to be a good player. Ta'amu reminds me of him in a lot of ways when they both came out; really big but lacking explosion and hip-snap.Hopefully Ta'amu gets his act together & ends up being a solid player as well.
Well a mock draft that is better then any of the so called experts have come up with. Chase Thomas is going to be a solid NFL player for many years and Ball will be a Defensive nightmare.
Because the defense finished #1.
Rd-1: Warmack/Teo
Rd-2: Warmack/Teo
Rd-3: monttee ball
Rd-4: Ogletree/Chase Thomas
Rd-5: Elam
Rd-6: Swope
Rd-7: Oakfor/Chase Thomas
Obviously this will never happen but just a little wishful thinking
