2009 Steelers Draft and Mel Kiper Sucks Thread

What are your thoughts on Bobbie Massie as the 1st pick. I don't think he should be the pick at 24 but a trade down might be our best option.
SF might need to move up to get the WR they are targeting. 24 to SF for 30 and 94 much like the year we traded back for Big Snack.

Massie has started for 3 years in the SEC. He would have a year to learn behind Colon then our tackles are taken care of for a long time. 

This is from Walter's Football.    6 days to go. 


Bobby Massie*, OT, Ole Miss
<!-- Combine --> Height: 6-6. Weight: 316.
40 Time: 5.23.
Bench: 22. Arm: 35.
Projected Round (2012): 2.

4/6/12: Massie has quietly moved up draft boards. He had a decent Combine but reportedly had an impressive pro day. Some believe he could crack the first round but should go in the top half of the second round. It wouldn't be a complete shock if a team takes him over Adams.

Massie had some quality games this season, but did not have his best performance against Alabama. He did well in run blocking in 2011. Massie is too strong to be bull rushed, and he has the athletic ability to mirror well in pass blocking.

Massie is still a little raw and could use more experience and development. There are stretches where he simply overwhelms defenders. Massie looks like he is a future starter at right tackle in the NFL.

RE Massie:

He is a fit for the Steelers however his range is off. THat is to say where he projects to be drafted is a half round ahead or behind where the Steelers pick.

I like the kid, but I think they would have to move up in the second or back in the first to get him.

Sadly there are dozens of players like this, who I think project at the very end of a round or in the early to middle of a round.

The Steelers will not waver off thier board, but it is gut wrenching to see guys you know are going to be good, come off the board before we pick, part of the game. LIke a pitcher that just gave up a home run, just refocus on the next batter.

Wednesday sounds good. It's really not that difficult so fire away with any changes.
