Going into the draft we had 3 big needs...OL, DL, CB. I think this comes down to BPA. They thought the remaining OL and CBs were reaches or they really liked Ziggy.

They thought the remaining OL and CBs were reaches AND they really liked Ziggy. Very solid pick. Ziggy was a mid first round talent.

Getting very close and Gilbert is still available. I really wanted to see 2 DL in our top 3 picks. Gilbert, Ziggy, Timmons, Woody, Harrison..... wow what a force it could be.......

I think Gilbert is value and is a possibility, but what the heck are we going to do about our 2 biggest needs?

[thesteelhammer Profile]

Damn,
there goes Beatty to the giants at 2.28

Is there any value at a need position left in this round for us? Very dissapointing!

CB - DJ Moore from Vandy might be consdered both value & need.

Guard - Duke Robinson

I also like Moore at CB. Could be a great slot CB some day while providing depth next year.

[Y-Town Steel Profile]

IMO our biggest draft need is DL. If we were to pay no attention to DL this year we could have fucked ourselves.

C'mon Gilbert. Hang in there for 1 more pick!!!

[BigPun Profile]

It's gotta be the Duke. I hated him when there was talk of him in the first round, but he is a big physical guy who can come in and compete immediately at RG.

[Y-Town Steel Profile]

Gilbert is officially available. This reminds me very much of 2007 when Timmons was taken then Wood was still there in rd 2. Gilbert is BPA and he is in a big need area. TAKE HIM!!!!

We just traded our 2nd round pick to Denver details to come

The Denver Broncos have acquired the 64th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

[deltadweller Profile]

No one we liked there I guess

[BigPun Profile]

They friggin traded out of the spot...there must be a few guys that they like and think will be around in round 3.

[deltadweller Profile]

I didn't hear. What did we get for 2.32?

[thesteelhammer Profile]

After getting the pick in a trade with Pittsburgh,The Denver Broncos have selected University of North Carolina TE Richard Quinn with the 64th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.

i always look forward to the draft so much, then after it's over it feels like a completely wasted day.

[steelerspaz Profile]

I could be wrong, but from what I can tell, we got 3.15 and 3.20.

[hschultz Profile]

Looks like the Stillers picked up two 3's (#15 in the 3rd, 79 overall and #20 in the third, 84 overall) to go along with their third (#96 overall) in exchange for 2.32 to Denver.

If that's what it is I can live with that.

[thesteelhammer Profile]

Not quite as good a trade as we thought.

Steelers receive:
» 2009 third-round pick (No. 79)
» 2009 third-round pick (No. 84 -- originally from Chicago)

Broncos receive:
» 2009 second-round pick (No. 64): TE Richard Quinn
» 2009 fourth-round pick (No. 132)

same here.

what an uneventful day

[thesteelhammer Profile]

I'll reserve judgement on that trade to see who we get with those 3rd round picks, verse who we could have gotten.

I don't see it as a great deal right now, but don't mind it either. (especially since I wasn't thrilled about who was left at 2.32)

[deltadweller Profile]

Not quite as attractive with our 4 going back. Still, probably a good move.

Jerry Micco, of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, reports the Pittsburgh Steelers have acquired the 79th and 84th overall picks in the 2009 NFL Draft from the Denver Broncos in exchange for the 64th and 132nd overall picks.
