Steelers Off-season

So my beloved Steelers are in their off-season due to an off season. Finishing at a disappointing 9-7 after starting hot at 6-2 and tied for 1st place in the AFC North. We all know what happened and now we pick 18th in the 2010 draft. Don't look for too many personal changes, B.A will most likely be OC again (which I have no problem with, I just wish that we used Dixon and a fullback when we try to run for short yardage and avoid having our wide outs throw deep balls across field into double coverage...), Dick should return, and I see no changes on the O-line (Stapleton may have a tough time getting his job back).

So here are a few prospects that the Steelers may target in the early rounds:

Round One: If we don't sign Casey Hampton the Steelers have no choice but to draft a NT. The best ones available after Ndamukong Suh (best player in the draft) are Dan Williams and Terrence Cody. I prefer Williams although he's not a true nose tackle, but he's got the size and strength and he wouldn't have to start right away. Cody fits the Steelers better but I worry about his 365 pounds and overall health.

Now if we resign Hampton the Steelers will look at LB Brandon Spikes, Florida; ILB Rolando McCLain, Alabama; and SS Taylor Mays, USC. I really like Mays but he's not NFL ready unless he learns how to tackle and cover receivers. He's more like that special kid in gym class that would go all out in every activity throwing his body around without mercy.

If the Steelers were daring they might make a move and trade up to get Saftey Eric Berry the junior from Tennessee.

Round Two: Expect defense again. The best available at pick 50 should be: Patrick Robinson, CB, Florida State; Arthur Jones, DE/DT, Syracuse; and Chad Jones, FS, LSU.
