And with the 15th overall selection in the 2013 NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints select ... Manti Te'o, Linebacker - Notre Dame.

I think if teo iis around at 12 the steelers would have to consider trading up.

Fiesta Bowl is on and my mancrush Dion Jordan is playing in it. Might want to tune in if you have doubts about this kid.

My fear is that Te'o (likely), Jordan and Mingo all are gone before 17th. In this case I hope the Steelers trade down.

I hear you... so, let's hash this out.

Two QBs will go top 16 (if not four QBs). Three O-linemen will go top 16. A WR will sneak in there. That is six players who the Steelers do not want. On defense (where the Steelers will focus): Dee Milliner, Star Lotulelei, Demonte Moore, Bjeorn Werner, and Jarvis Jones will go top 16.

That makes eleven. Thus, we only need six players that we'd want.

One of these six players will be there (or if they all are gone, then at least one of the five aforementioned defenders will be there):
Te'o, Mingo, Jordan, Ogletree, Montgomery, & Vaccaro.

Heck, for safety's sake, you can even add Okafor... and Elam ().

I am thinking that this is going to be a good draft four the Steelers.

I was really disappointed that Jordan's shoulder was bothering him again last night. I mean, in one of the bigger games of his collegiate career he aggravates that shoulder and doesn't play a snap after the first quarter. I'm sure he's much more frustrated about it than scouts are, but I'm sure that might have raised a couple red flags for teams picking in the top 15.

The silver lining: Heath Miller dropped to 30, due to his hernia.

But he should be a star when it comes to the combine

1) 2-14: Kansas City (.516) - Geno Smith (Desperate Need of QB)
2) 2-14: Jacksonville (.542) - Bjoern Werner ( Werner this year and Clowney Next year who can pass that up?)
3) 4-12: Oakland (.471) - Dee Milliner ( Pass Defense is horrible)
4) 4-12: Philly (.510) - Luke Joeckel (Need to protect Nick Foles or whoever)
5) 4-12: Detroit (.569) - Manti Te'o ( Leader for a troubled defense)
6) 5-11: Cleveland (.508) - Star Lotulelei (Him and Phil Taylor could be start of a dominate inside Dline)
7) 5-11: Arizona (.548) - Tajh Boyd (New coach New QB - If he declares I think he'll make a push for top 10 selection)
8) 6-10: Buffalo (.480) - Mike Glennon
9) 6-10: Tennessee (.510) - Damontre Moore
10) 6-10: Jets (.510) - Taylor Lewan (Surprise pick but they need help along the Oline, their offense sucks)
11) 7-9: San Diego (.473) - Sheldon Richardson (Inside Pass rush)
12) 7-9: Miami (.483) - Keenan Allen (Obvious Need)
13) 7-9: Tampa (.502) - Logan Ryan (Surprise but Greg Schiano goes with his player from Rutgers)
14) 7-9: Carolina (.514) - Terrance Williams (Give Cam some actual weapons)
15) 7-9: New Orleans (.522) - Johnathan Hankins (Need help stopping the run)
16) 7-8-1: St Louis - Eric Fisher ( Need to protect Sam)
17) 8-8: Pittsburgh (.464) - Jarvis Jones ( Cha Ching we hit the jackpot without having to trade up)

Interesting (original) picks. Two specific thoughts to consider:

DET - They just signed Tulloch (ILB) to a deal.

CLEV - They already have Ahtyba Rubin next to Phil Taylor (& he's arguably better than Taylor).
