Re: I'm praying......... that the Steelers can either draft Lendale or Maroney with their first pick. Cedrick can be the #2 wideout now and having another young back will benefit us greatly. We do need a wideout but I'm betting that Jackson and Holmes will be gone by the time we are up and I doubt the Steelers will draft Sinorice even though I love the kid. Since the Cards signed Edge, that elimates one team from taking one of the top backs and Anderson going to B-more helps us alot. The only teams I can see taking a running back before us are;49ersVikingsColts
Re: I'm praying......... ok.. i'm trying to understand, why the hell you want a rb? like explain that to me..
Re: I'm praying......... If anything Maroney might slip to you guys but I highly doubt it. Lendale White and DeAngelo Williams will be gone by the time you guys pick.

White would be good for that

Re: I'm praying......... Oh damn... I forgot we had Duce Staley.But still... Duce is an injury waiting to happen, at all times.

The Steelers need someone healthy that they can depend on at any time's notice and that, is not Duce.
Re: I'm praying......... Just cause the vikes signed taylor doesnt mean they wont draft a RB. They might platoon Taylor like the ravens did.
Re: I'm praying......... But the Vikes have Mewelde Moore under contract... he's good when the whole rushing game's not on his shoulders.
Re: I'm praying......... ok all i'm trying to say, do you use a first round pick(so what if itwas the last one, its still 1st roound) on a back, thats going to be only complimentary rusher at best?
Re: I'm praying......... If you are looking for an effective one yes, if you are looking for a space-filler, no.
Re: I'm praying......... As I have stated before I would like the Steelers to draft a WR but lets face it people, this years group of recievers are not the best and not that deep. With that said if Jackson from Florida and Holmes and Moss are gone before the Steelers are up to pick, I feel they should go with the best player availabe cloest to their needs. Duce is washed up people if you havnet noticed already and having a power back up the middle to compliment Parker would be great and both Maroney and White can do that, WIllie cant be an every down back and Verron Hayes is used sparingly in third down situations and at the end of games to kill the clock.

Re: I'm praying......... i bet the steelers may start throwing the ball more since the bus retire, you never know, our running game could struggles plus, everyone having faith in Ben, we pretty much pass the ball in the playoffs than running, i think we should pass if i was Cowher, i mean you need to have a change in your franchise sometime, it wouldnt hurt because Ben is a great QB, but anyway, yea i see some changes

Re: I'm praying......... I think the Steelers need someone like Joseph Addai to backup Willie Parker.
