	A. fact that we didn't address immediate need area on the line on day one keeps me from saying A+... great value picks though, get out your track shoes boys, we're gonna score some points this year

	we didnt address the needs, but we really couldnt get any top o-lineman. we got two of the best talents in the draft which is tough to do with the 23rd pick. good job by the Steelers.

	The draft was a disaster. No OL or defensive player. Sweed ???? WTF. Draft a crystal vase. it's less fragile.

	I give a B+. I like the Menenhall pick, and the more time I have to mull it over, the more I like it. Sweed? Hmmnnn, great value pick, but I don' like it. I think it is a year to soon to look for a WR. I hope we can pick up a Collins or Nicks tommorow. I love Godfrey the CB out of Iowa. Maybe pick Dingle up out of WVU. Here's a thought. Does anyone think we could trade any of our O-line man? Mahan, Starks, Colon, Essex, and Chris K are above average at their positions, and you just can't afford to keep that kinda depth on your team. Alot of contracts are up next year, is there anyway we could get a 5th or 6th rounder for someone? Get a young guy cheep for 3 or for yrs.

	I gave them a B. They get an A on value as they got two good players lower than they were expected to fall. The fact that they couldn't address their biggest need which is OL had them knocked to a B. I understand why they didnt take a lineman though as the top 7 were all surprisingly gone when the Steelers got to choose, and there was a big drop off after the first six. Mendenhall does look like a beast and will be a great compliment to Parker. The WR also looks like a steal though I wouldn't expect to see a major impact from him this year unless there is an injury. I sure hope they can get a good lineman for both sides of the ball in the next two rounds, if they dont they have to be concerned about those two positions.

	Mahan, Starks, Colon, Essex, and Chris K are above average at their positionsI have to strongly disagree. I dont think any of them is above average at their positions and two of them have to start for us. Starks won't be here next year unless he improves and their is no guarentee Essex even makes the team. Sean Mahan was awful last year at center and hopefully he doesnt have to play this year but he might considering Keamatu is completely unproven.

	Mahan, Starks, Colon, Essex, and Chris K are above average at their positionsI have to disagree with you too. They are average at best. Mahan and Starks are not worth half the money they are getting.
