Agreed, Hines will get in at some point but will probably be awhile. One thing he does have going for him over the other wide receivers is not only is he a 2 time Super Bowl winner, he's also a Super Bowl MVP

Haven't posted much on the draft.

I'm thinking Steelers should trade up and get DeCastro.

That would really solidify their line.

They're going to move Gilbert to LT so LT is not as much of a need as a lot of the mock drafts are saying. Gilbert had a very solid rookie year at RT.

LT - Gilbert (promising young tackle)
LG-
C-Pouncey (anchor)
RG-Foster (coming off a strong year)
RT-Colon (always hurt but solid if healthy)

I think it would be worth it to trade up and get DeCastro and figure out the rest later on. He's a masher in the run game.

I thought certainly we would go oline first pick but have read on some blogs we might go lb or best available depending on who is still there

I say Legursky can fit in there. If not, draft Kelechi Osemele or Lucas Nix

They tend to go best available. I've seen a few mock drafts where Gilmore, the CB, has slid down to about where they're picking. Can't pass him up I wouldn't think.

I hate moving up and giving up additional picks in the middle rounds unless you know you're getting a great player in the first round. They knew Polamalu was worth it. I'm thinking DeCastro might be worth it even as a guard. Gilbert, DeCastro and Pouncey could play LT/LG/C for the next decade together.

Unis are hideous! Understand they are a throwback, but it also is to spur some sales in the jerseys but man.....I dont see many buying those awful jerseys.

I am glad to be facing Peyton in week one before he really gets into the flow of the season. I think that he will do well if they can get some WR threats, but I also believe he will start the season slow and its a good time for the steelers to catch him.

I am seeing a 9-7 record

Also, remember....no Ryan Clark for the opener. That won't help vs. Manning.
