Steelers mock draft

Well it's that time again for me to throw darts at my draft board and guess what Kevin and Mike are going to do to win me another Superbowl. As usual, I go for need and best available.

Rd 1, Pick 18 (18)
Brandon Graham OLB Michigan- This young man is Lamarr Woodley. He'll add nice depth to linebacking core, and will eventually take over for Silverback. I wouldn't be surprised to see Kyle Wilson of Boise State here.
Rd 2, Pick 20 (52) Cam Thomas NT North Carolina- We have Hampton and Hoke, but it'd be nice to have someone in their 20s.
Rd 3, Pick 18 (82) Chris Cook CB Virginia- I always have to pick at least 1 player from UVA and I've been wrong every time. However, if he does slip to the 3rd round he'd be a steal.
Rd 4, Pick 18 (116) Ed Wang OT Virginia Tech- He's a solid player and his stock is rising but he'll need at least 2 years of work.
Rd 5, Pick 20 (151) Anthony Dixon RB Mississippi State- He's a big boy and should be a nice back up to Mendenhall.
Rd 5, Pick 33 (164) Myron Lewis FS Vanderbilt- We need a long term solution at saftey.
Rd 5, Pick 35 (166) Shawn Lauvao OG Arizona State- Fresh meat. Shawn has the skill and upside to push Urbik into the line up.
Rd 6, Pick 19 (188Ted Larsen C North Carolina State- Should be able to take over at center in 2 years.
Rd 7, Pick 18 (225) John Conner FB Kentucky- We need a fullback. Yes Frank The Tank should be better next year, but Conner is the real deal.
Rd 7, Pick 35 (242) Micah Johnson ILB Kentucky- Very strong man. Will be great on special teams and a solid back up once Farrior retires.

Well there it is. I'll do one more a few days before the draft.
