No trades for Big Ben just yet, but the Steelers do add a center with great upside. The last Florida offensive lineman they drafted was Max Starks, and he was a success, they can’t go wrong with Pouncey. Plus, now they have to draft his twin brother next year. A possible hold out situation in the Steel City could occur, unless the Steelers guarantee to sign his brother next year.
The Pounceys
19. Atlanta- Sean Weatherspoon LB Missouri Atlanta wants a speedy linebacker-type, and they get one in Weatherspoon, who was highly productive at Missouri. He showed up to the combine in white tights and yellow shows to look fast, so that should help, except neon-yellow won’t go too good with red and black.
20. Jacksonville (via Hou-trade)- Tim Tebow QB Florida
Expect some boo’s to be ringing from Music City Hall, but why? Tebow can cure cancer, walk on water, oh yeah and win. Jacksonville needs to sell tickets and Tebow is the answer. Expect to see a lot of orange and blue on Sundays in Jacksonville.
21. Cincinnati- Jeremiah Gresham TE Oklahoma-
Cinncy needs a tightend and Gresham looks to be the man. Only one problem, he hasn’t been arrested before…
22. New England- Jerry Hughes OLB/DE TCU-
Intriguing selection here. Hughes can move and make plays.
23. Green Bay- Bruce Campbell OT Maryland-
Last year Maryland product Demarius Heyward-Bay was selected in the first round, and he so far has been a bust. Hopefully not the same can be said about Campbell, who is an absolute beast of a human.
24. Philadelphia- Taylor Mays S USC-
Speed kills, and that’s what Mays brings. Philly still is searching for an answer for the departed Dawkins, and Mays is the answer.
25. Baltimore- Kyle Wilson CB Boise State-
Wilson locked down WAC receivers throughout his four-year career. Could be a little different in the AFC.
26. Arizona- Brian Price DT Tennessee-
Mel Kipper loves him, and it seems Arizona always is taking big uglys.
27. Dallas- Eric Berry S Tennessee-
Berry dropped like a fruit off a tree. Luckily Dallas overlooks his character and finds a home for the talented playmaker. Hey the ESPN guys could sound something like this in between picks 20-27.
28. San Diego- Ryan Mathews RB Fresno St. -
Remember that non-bcs back that played for San Diego, Ladainian Tomilson. Could Mathews be the second coming? Don’t think so.
29. N.Y. Jets- Donald Butler LB Washington-
J-e-t-s makes a reach pick here. Butler is a late bloomer and wasn’t invited to the combine initially. I can hear the boos now. Another one of these?
30. Minnesota- Kareem Jackson CB Alabama-
Minnesooota gets a solid corner from one of the top programs.
31. Indianapolis-Rodger Saffold T Indiana-
the Colts offense continues to reload nothing new here. Saffold is a humble guy and should fit in.
32. New Orleans- Brian Price DT UCLA-
the Saints win the Super Bowl and then make a “sexy pick” in Price, a 300 pound tackle.
