My Favorite Mock so Far

Steelers resign Hampton, Clark, Reed, Eason. RFA Colon, Gay, Spaeth, Sepulveda.

Pick 18th, receive 4th, 5th, and 7th round compensations picks for McFadden, Washington, Leftwich/Smith.

(1)18. Bryan Bulaga
Pick is simple. He is the best player here. Colon is only an RFA, and there is no proven depth whatsoever outside of the starting RG Trai Essex. Outstanding pass protector, and is excellent in the run game. Very athletic as well. Also, with new OL Sean Kugler, he is going to want some good OL to work with.

(2)50. FS Chad Jones, LSU
Is a fluid safey. He can turn his hips and run with most in the NFL. He has excellent hands, has great closing speed, and really punishes people with every tackle.

(3)82. CB Kyle Wilson, Boise State
Four year starter, and the hype has always been there. Excellent cover CB, great hands, and has a take on the world type of attitude. Love to see this guy as a Steeler. He even offers extra value as a solid return man.

(4)118. TE Colin Peek, Alabama
He is an excellent all-around TE. He is a good if not very good blocker and possesses excellent hands. Great route runner.

(4)133. ILB Micah Johnson, Kentucky
I am convinced that Johnson is going to be absent for the Combine. He will need a his Pro-Day to be big in order for him to raise his stock. Johnson is a great player and athlete, but ILBs typically fall on draft day, and I think he falls here. He is strong and stout against the run, is a good tackler, and is ever underrated in coverage.

(5)154.OT Jared Veldheer, Hillsdale
Make no mistake, Sean Kugler made the ultra-athletic Jason Peters into a Probowler. He will see the next coming of him in Veldheer. I have written enough about Veldheer.

(5)170. SS Andrew Sendejo, Rice
Another guy who I think will be a very good player for the Steelers. I have written enough about Sendejo. Safe to say I could be his biggest fan....

(6)191. OLB Arthur Moats, James Madison
Super athletic player. Good against the run, relentless pass rusher with a non-stop motor, and can drop into coverage.

(7)227. DE Lorenzo Washington, Alabama
He already plays in a prostyle 34 defense, he will look attractive this late.

(7)244. OLB Adrain Tracy, William & Mary
Has had a productive career amd comes from Tomlin's alma mater.
