Steelers Mock Draft 3.0- Final version

I can hardly wait for 7:30pm tonight. A touch on the sad side because I know we still have many months before an actual kickoff, but this will have to do for now. This will be an interesting year for the Steelers: traded away one of the leagues best wide receiver and our franchise quarterback is going to miss at least the first 4 games and perhaps most of training camp because he's an idiot. Having said that, I do not believe the Steelers will trade Big Ben, unless they really get a nice deal, nor will they draft a QB or WR tonight. Dennis Dixon is quite capable of winning games for this team if it's his team and his offense. If Ben misses training camp, it will be. We do need a receiver, but not a glaring need. Offensive line, middle linebacker, and cornerback should be Pittsburgh's first 3 picks. Of course, we usually pick best available...unless there's a punter we want to trade up for.

Rd 1, Pick 18 (18) Rolando McClain, ILB, Alabama- If he's sitting there it will be way too hard to pass on him. Be next year he start inside with Timmons with Foote or Farrior as the main backup. Previous pick, Maurkice Pouncey.
Rd 2, Pick 20 (52) Tyson Alualu, DE/DT, California- He doesn't fill a need but again the value is too much to pass. This is like Polamalu but much much larger. Hopefully we know how to use him and not let him walk away to New England like Mike Vrabel. Previous pick, Dexter McCluster.
Rd 3, Pick 18 (82) A.J. Jefferson, CB, Fresno State- Should add some competition to the crowded unknown secondary. It also appears the Steelers won't resign Townsend since someone else is wearing his number #26. Previous pick, Jamar Chaney.
Rd 4, Pick 18 (116) Blair White, WR, Michigan State- Good value here. Previous pick, same.
Rd 5, Pick 20 (151) Mitch Petrus, G, Arkansas- Don't we have like 15 guards? Why won't someone step up? Previous pick, Derek Hardman.
Rd 5, Pick 24 (155) LeGarrette Blount, RB, Oregon- I like him as a power runner, but didn't he punch some kid during a game? Previous pick, Anthony Dixon.
Rd 5, Pick 33 (164) Mike Tepper, OT, California- Adding to the stable of lineman for the practice squad. Previous pick, same.
Rd 5, Pick 35 (166) Ekom Udofia, NT, Stanford- Great value here, he can replace Hampton in 2 years. Previous pick, same.
Rd 6, Pick 19 (188) Jeff Byers, C/G, USC- We can hope he last longer than A.Q Shipley. Previous pick, Donovan Warren.
Rd 7, Pick 35 (242) Chris Maragos, FS, Wisconsin- Steelers need depth at safety even with the resigning of Clark. Previous pick, Adrian Tracy.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Happy draft watching.
