Joey Porter Jr. and Jonathan Mingo would be 2 nice additions today !!

How about Dawand Jones and Cody Mauch ??

I would love O'Cyrus Torrence at guard. Or the best blocking TE in the draft in Darnell Washington.

Either of these two would make our running game so much better for Taylor and Richardson.

Arggghhh I hate typing Richardson in regards the running game, gave me shivers thinking of Trent Richardson.

We really need some help at corner though, so DJ Turner from Michigan or Joey Porter.

Ideally would like to see us trade down to the mid 40's, hopefully Washington is still there, pick up an extra 3rd, package the two thirds to get back into the back end of the 2nd and maybe get one of the CB's, like Brents or Ringo.

The talent drop-off in this draft is high, and I don't see much value in guys after the end of the 2nd round. This is a really poor draft for both real top end talent and depth overall.

The way Ballard has worked day 2 and especially day 3 I have faith we will find some gems in the next few days

OG O'Cyrus Torrence if available, need fix the line :cool:

It's quite possible both Torrence and Washington will be there at 35. I'd be happy with either but prefer Torrence since we really need to upgrade RG, and this would allow Fries to go back to being a backup swing OG and Pinter to full time backup OC (maybe that's already happened).

Porter would be really good too, but think the writing is on the wall that the Steelers take him at 32.

With the names left, I want a trade down at 35. Players who I think would be good value at 35 (in order of ranking on nfl.com):

WR Jalin Hyatt
LB Drew Sanders
CB Brian Branch
TE Luke Musgrave
TE Michael Mayer
EDGE Keion White
CB Joey Porter Jr.
C John Michael Schmitz
CB Kelee Ringo
WR Cedric Tillman
OG O'Cyrus Torrence
TE Darnell Washington
EDGE Derick Hall
EDGE Isaiah Foskey
EDGE BJ Ojulari
C Joe Tippmann

With that much talent, trading down just makes sense. Maybe even twice. Picking up a 3 and a 2 next year would be great.

Has to be Porter or Torrence at 35 if there. We need immediate help at both positions.

Take Torrance, then get on the horn and sigh Rock Ya Sin.
