Tired of this Shuffling Crap(Plus Extended Thoughts)

am really getting tired of just rotating bodies in and out of the OL. I hate it. We need answers for the OL, not just solutions. We did the first step by getting Maurkice Pouncey in this past draft. These are the next steps I think we need to take:

1.25 G Michael Pouncey, Florida

This is the next step. Getting a guard that is already comfortable fighting side by side with Maurkice Pouncey would not only help Michael's transition, but give the two of them confidence to fight side by side in the pros. Pouncey is the mauler and more than adequate pass blocker that we need at RG. This will definitely solidify the interior OL well into the next decade.

2.57 OL Orlando Franklin, Miami(FL)

I have had Franklin on my radar for a long time now. Some may question the pick of a second G. Firstly, he will be playing LT this season. While I think he will do a fine job, he is a lineman that just has the quality I look for: he is very athletic for a 6'7" 320lbs, has experience playing at G and T, and is a relentless blocker. Our interior line sucks right now......this needs to change.

3.89 RT Marcus Cannon, TCU

Overkill?.........I say not. Cannon is everything I want in my RT: pure mauler, gym/weight room rat, underrated athletically, is more than adequate in pass protection. And, he has great size at 6'5" 348lbs. Since Colon is out for the year and Chris Scott is also injured, we could really use more insurance at RT. Colon may never even play another down for the Steelers. Cannon will also be making the switch to the blindside this season, so it will be interesting to see how he handles and performs playing LT. Could boost his stock, even though TCU's schedule looks pretty harmless until later in the season....

4.125 CB Charles Brown, North Carolina

This kid will fall for two reasons: (1) the quality depth at CB and (2)he will be overlooked due to the other NFL quality and ready Tar Heel defenders. It won't because he is not talented. Brown has good hands, good hips, good speed, and just has a knack for being around the ball. He is also not afraid to help out against the run.....which is a key thing I look for in CBs.

5.156 NT Anthony Gray, Southern Mississippi

Gray initially did not impress me when I first saw him play. That's probably because I wasn't looking closely enough. Gray is a very solid NT for the Golden Eagles. He occupies OL, he is a rock in the run game, and he is even underrated athletically. Tomlin may want the next NT for us to be more a 3 down player....Gray could just be the solution.

6.194 LB Mason Foster, Washington

I think this kid will be a potential steal of this draft class. He had a very quiet, yet good season last season collecting 85 tackles, 7.5 tackles for a loss, 6 forced fumbles, 3 interceptions, and six passes defensed. He is flying under the radar for now....hopefully he stays that way.

7.232 S Jeron Johnson, Boise State

Johnson will also fall like Charles Brown will........he is under appreciated and is a good class of DBs. Johnson is underrated because he comes from a smaller school that normally dominates its opponents, comes from a weak conference, and just doesn't wow you. Johnson is just remarkably solid and rarely does he miss an assignment. We could use someone solid for a change to backup Troy.

Extended Thoughts:
My future OL would be:

LT- Max Starks
LG- Orlando Franklin
C- Maurkice Pouncey
RG- Michael Pouncey
RT- Marcus Cannon
backup- Chris Scott
backup- Ramon Foster
backup- Doug Legursky
backup- Jonathon Scott

Ike Taylor, LaMarr Woodley, and Doug Legursky are given extensions.
