Crazy Super Bowl Pipe Dream Edition Mock

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

Steelers receive two 5th round compensation picks as well as a 7th.

Steelers pick 18. However, they trade back with New England and get pick 22 and 47. The Steelers then trade pick 23 to Tampa Bay and receive picks 35 and 40. The Steelers then trade up with their 5th and 6th round selections to get Miami's 4th round pick.

2. CB Donovan Warren, Michigan
Look at him on tape. He is the definition of a Lebeau CB. Fast, very good in coverage, and has excellent hands. Needs to take better angles tackling though.

2. FS Chad Jones, LSU
While some may think Jones won't fit in the system, I disagree. He has good speed, good hands, and is good in coverage. He is also very good against the run. I think he replaces Ryan Clark in two years time. He will be asked to do what Clark does currently: play deep and don't let anything past you....and be ready to lay some people out. He should do that with ease.

2. ILB Brandon Spikes, Florida
The Steelers are amazed when Spikes is here. He is a monster against the run, is a great tackler, good shedding blocks, can rush the passer, and is even underrated in coverage. He is also a natural born leader....which is another positive trait since Farrior will probably be done within the next two years.

2. OT Jared Veldheer, Hillsdale
Veldheer will amaze all at the Combine. I think the Steelers snag him here to shore up the OT depth. Veldheer is super athletic, strong, and has tremendous upside.

3. NT Cam Thomas, North Carolina
Mayock recently said that Thomas may not escape out of the 2nd round. While I do like Mayock, I think he is exaggerating here. Thomas is a big time run stuffer, can collapse the pocket, and may have the athleticism to be a 3 down NT.

4. OLB Austen Lane, Murray State
Lane had a sold Senior Bowl week. The concerns about level of competition are flawed. However, the biggest concern about him is that he is a DE/OLB hybrid. He is a great pass rusher and is good against the run, but people question whether he can stand up in play. He looked okay in coverage at the Senior Bowl when he asked to drop back. This should put him around here.

4. DE Alex Carrington, Arkansas State
Carrington is another player who had a good Senior Bowl week. He showed all week that he has the lower body strength to anchor in a 34. He also showed that he is very active.....he is very good pass rusher and he continually makes plays in the backfield.

5c. RB LaMarcus Coker, Hampton
Coker had drug problems in the past, but he has kept clean the past two years and supposedly has turned his life around. I view Coker as a better version of Willie Parker.....he is super fast, has good vision, and good hands. He should be a very good complement to Reshard Mendenhall.

5c. TE Nate Byham, Pittsburgh
Byham reminds me so much of Heath Miller it is not even funny. They both were elite blockers at the college level and more than solid receiving threats. It would be awesome for this offense to have a legitimate 2 TE set.

7. QB Jonathon Crompton, Tennessee
You may question the pick of a QB here.....I do as well. However, I think he could be this year's camp arm that really surprises everyone and earns a job on the practice squad. Crompton can make all the throws at the NFL level, and has decent accuracy.

7c. WR Marcus Easley, Connecticut
You know this guy is going to work hard - he was a walk-on and had just five receptions entering the year. As a senior, he logged 48 catches for 893 yards and eight touchdowns.
