Cincinnati selects

Spoiler:

WR Dane Sanzenbacher



Sanzenbacher is a very talented possession receiver, and is very reliable, making big catches throughout his career. He put up very solid numbers this year and is the type of leader that a new Bengals roster would need.

Well, if you're going to drop in, let's hear the corrections.

I thought maybe this was a fumble recovery picture, and not a dropped pass, since he's a safety, but the URL says "muffed punt". Doh.

Harris > Jimmy Smith (and this guy will probably be serving some sort of drug related suspension before he plays a full season)
Carpenter is alright
LOL Schilling
Fua is too slow to play DE and too small to play NT
Kicker in the 5th, really???

If I was Pitts I would try to move up for the last of the top 5 OT or try to move down to mid 2nd and pick Dowling.

I think that's the furthest thing from what they're planning to do on draft day.

I think Lefeged blocked a ridiculous # of kicks in school. Like he may never get off special teams in the NFL but could still be a really valuable player as an all around ST'er

I thought he had been picked earlier or I might have picked him for one of my teams last round.

171st Browns take

Jah Reid


Haven't drafted any OL yet. Their left side of the line is very good. Time to plug some holes.

Let's take a look at the Pittsburgh Steeler selections in the mock draft.

1st round - Jimmy Smith, CB
DB is an area of huge need for the Steelers, and Smith is basically the third rated CB on the board. He's got some character redflags, but as I mentioned, I think being on that defense with those guys helps mitigate those issues. OL is also a pressing need, but after the run that happened right before the pick, there was no need to reach when there was value in Smith.

2nd round - James Carpenter, OL
Carpenter was close to being the best available OL in this spot. He likely ends up playing RT, but that's ok, since the PIT line has multiple holes. I could see an argument for going DL here, and I looked at Allan Bailey. Ultimately, I decided OL was the bigger need.

3rd round - Steven Schilling, OL
This pick was made for me, as I was asleep during pick time. I would have likely not gone OL here, and instead went DL or perhaps even DB again. I don't know much about Schilling, so I can't say if it was a good pick or not.

4th round - Sinone Fua, NT
Hampton is 34. Time to try and find a replacement. Fua is a good pick here, imo. He can rotate in, in small doses like Hood did his rookie year. The DL needs to get younger soon.

5th round - Alex Henery, K
Shaun Suisham. That's really all that needs to be said. Henery shows all the signs of being an elite K at the pro level, and it would be nice to have the automatic feeling that the Steelers used to have with guys like Gary Anderson and Norm Johnson.

Where are the glaring mistakes?

Jimmy Smith's character issues put him below Harris imo.
I said I don't mind Carpenter.
Schilling is terribad but if you really didn't make that pick then I guess I can't criticize you for it.
Like I said before, Fua seems too small for NT, which is where you seem to want him to play in the Steelers system.
I am not sure how Henry shows all the signs of being elite in the NFL...?? Kickers gonna kicker imo

lifes3ps said not to expect him today, so we need to come up with a pick for ARI.

Kicker in the 5th, really???
Harris is a safety in waiting. Not a bad thing, I suppose, and certainly still an upgrade, but the value in Smith was too much to pass up.

Schilling wasn't my pick.

Fua is fine at NT. He's 6'2", 308. You don't think he could bulk up a bit?

The Steelers took a punter in the 4th round. Taking arguably one of the best college kickers of all-time (hyperbole ) is a reach in the 5th?

I agree with BBB, I'd like to see them move up, or back.

Henery has continued to amaze with his accuracy and leg strength during his senior season, while also ranking as one of the Big 12's top punters for the second straight year. Henery has been most impressive in the postseason, connecting on 14-of-14 postseason field goals, including a 4-of-4 effort in the 2009 Holiday Bowl.

The Omaha native has connected on 18-of-19 field goals this season, with his only miss a blocked 51-yard attempt. His successful kicks include 10 from beyond 40 yards, and two from 50+ yards. He owns three of the top five single-season field goal totals in school history, including an NU record 24 in 2009. Henery is also perfect on 53 PAT attempts this season, extending his consecutive extra point streak to 115 entering the Holiday Bowl.

Henery's accuracy in 2010 has improved his career mark on field goals to 68-of-76, and his 89.5 percent career accuracy percentage betters the NCAA record of 87.8 percent. He has also made 192-of-193 career PATs and his combined accuracy rate of 96.7 percent is also on pace to shatter an NCAA record.

This season, Henery has scored 107 points his third straight 100-point season after totaling 110 points in both 2008 and 2009. All three totals rank in the top 10 on the NU single-season list and he needs 10 points in the Holiday Bowl to set a single-season record for a Nebraska kicker. Henery has pushed his career scoring total to 396 points, establishing a new Nebraska career mark, bettering Kris Brown's 388 career points. With four points in the Holiday Bowl, Henery would become just the 12th player (seventh kicker) in NCAA history with 400 career points.

Henery also averaged 43.9 yards per punt to help NU rank 32nd in the nation in net punting. He placed 26 of his punts inside the 20-yard line and had 17 punts travel at least 50 yards. Henery was a first-team All-America selection by the Associated Press, SI.com, Rivals.com, CBSSports.com and was a first-team All-Big 12 choice by several media outlets, including the AP. He was also a second-team All-Big 12 choice as a punter by the league's head coaches.
Hell, he can be the punter too, when Sepulveda breaks something else.
