Little earlier then I hoped. It always has a nice database of different mock drafts to fumble through. Many sites are team specific, so it's nice to see what the opinions of other fans from other teams feel our needs are.

They update it daily.
Also, any CB's that have the abilities anywhere close to Troy? Imagine having 2 Troys in coverage.

Thanks blackngoldB--this is handy. The mock drafts listed here all seem to see 1st round as Safety, Corner or Offensive Tackle. I don't follow college football much anymore--is there a quality stud linebacker in the draft? I think that is a need too.

Bored, so I compiled a few sites....

14. Pittsburgh Steelers: Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma

Despite the fact that Ben Roethlisberger is behind his offensive line 100 percent, I think they could stand to be upgraded. Trent Williams is a very solid prospect who could easily go in the top 10. Pittsburgh would likely welcome him with open arms.

14. PIT: Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa*
There's no question the Steelers will go for an offensive lineman. They have to if they wish to prolong Big Ben's career. Bulaga gets the notch over big, but lumbering Bruce Campbell. The Iowa star is not anchor material, but is as solid as they come (especially on pass blocking).

18. Pittsburgh Steelers: Earl Thomas, FS, Texas
Safety will be a big need for the Steelers this offseason. Both Ryan Clark (30) and Tyrone Carter (34) will be free agents in March, so Pittsburgh will need a new starter across from Troy Polamalu and some depth as well.

#16 - Pittsburgh Steelers

Earl Thomas

Safety

Texas
n the beginning of the season I was certain the Steelers would make
the offensive line the main priority in the offseason. However, the unit
proved to be reliable, especially with the emergence of Pro Bowl
Guard Chris Kemoeatu. Although the unit as a whole has allowed 47
sacks, which ranks 2nd most in the NFL. This number is deceiving
considering Roethlisberger is notorious for holding the ball too long
and scrambles between the tackles too much. I look for the Steelers
to address the Offensive Line later in the draft and concentrate on a
vulnerable position that was exposed early in the season, when their
star play Troy Polamalu went down with a knee injury. Without
Polamalu, it was evident that Clark’s play struggled and the backups
would not suffice. Not only was performance a factor, but looking at the
current safeties on the roster, age comes into consideration. Clark will
be 31 next season and backup Tyrone Carter will be 34. Look for the
Steelers to address this concern first by adding Earl Thomas, a young
but football savvy safety. Thomas is a very solid safety, having accumulated 128 tackles and 10
interceptions in two seasons. The sophomore will be draft eligible, and is currently ranked the top
safety in the 2010 draft by several analyst. Thomas' high tackle total indicates he is not afraid to
step into the box and stop the run, which is the type of toughness the Steelers embrace. Although
this is not the position the Steelers would like to be in, they will be glad to add a player of Thomas'
caliber to their roster.

#18 Pittsburgh: The Steelers build their team on the offensive line and defensive front seven. They also think long term meaning just because their front five is a weakness does not necessarily make them rush out and draft a player in the first round to “solve” that problem. Championship rosters are not built on plugging rookies in immediately all the time. In this case it appears the tackle class is deep enough for them to take a shot. There is a reason the Sooner offense put up a record number of points in 2008. The line across the board was rock solid and while this might not represent tremendous value tackles tend to fly off the board early: OT Trent Williams (Oklahoma)

18. OLB Jerry Hughes, TCU Hughes (6' 2" 258 lbs) has the talent to play end or linebacker.
His production over his career is the epitome of consistency. He played in 48 games and recorded 32 TFL (tackles for loss) and 27 sacks.

* Pittsburgh's secondary was pathetic this year (when Polamalu went down) Warren had a great year for Michigan and could start immediately.

14 Pittsburgh Steelers- Bryan Bulaga OT-Iowa

The Steelers could go DB here but their offensive line had sucked for years. Big Ben needs to be standing up to complete passes. Bulaga is the best tackle on the board here and I don't see the Steelers passing on him.

17. Pittsburgh Steelers

Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama

A HUGE presence in the middle. Would be able to team up with Casey Hampton to be one of the biggest and possibly toughest in the league.


http://sportsfantasyguide.com/2010-nfl-mock-draft-11-20/

18. Pittsburgh Steelers - OT Bryan Bulaga – Iowa

Bulaga’s 6′6″ 311 lbs frame will be a great fit on front line of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers have not had a great line the past few years despite being very successful. Bulaga should help protect Ben Roethlisberger who has been getting beat up the last few years especially this year when he had to miss a game due to a concussion.

13. Earl Thomas Safety Texas When Troy Polamalu was injured, everything seemed to fall apart for the Steelers’ defense. Ryan Clark is also a free agent this offseason, so the team will need to add some depth. Thomas has great cover skills and he will be able to play center field and allow Troy Polamalu to do his thing.

14. Pittsburgh Steelers: Rolando McClain, ILB, Alabama
This pick was almost impossible for me to make because I have to take into consideration all the needs for Pittsburgh. Bryan Bulaga was a strong option for this pick, but McClain is a MUCH better prospect. I could have given the Steelers Donovan Warren, and if Steeler fans want to hate me because of it, then fine.

This team really doesn't need an inside linebacker, but McClain is simply too good to sit on the bench and he could beat out Lawrence Timmons. This team has Santonio Holmes, Hines Ward and Mike Wallace, so I eliminated the wide receivers as potential picks. Taylor Mays would be a poor pick here and I really don't see them going safety so this selection really came down to Rolando McClain, Bryan Bulaga and Donovan Warren. McClain is the best value and therefore a very likely pick.

12. PIT: Earl Thomas, S, Texas*
The Steelers are going to be looking for an upgrade across from Troy Polamalu. Ryan Clark and Tyrone Carter are both going to hit free agency, and even if one of them comes back, Thomas should be able to compete for a starting spot.


http://www.fftoolbox.com/nfl_draft/2010/2010-nfl-mock-draft.cfm?writer=13&page=2

19. PIT: C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
The Steelers have no major holes and they can never have too many running backs. Spiller was unbelievable for Clemson in 2009 despite rarely playing at 100 percent.

18. Pittsburgh Steelers: Bruce Campbell OT UMD


http://nflmocks.com/2009/12/22/mock-draft-round-one-v-1-0/

12. Earl Thomas
Safety Texas

With Troy Polamalu out of action this season, the Steelers have been exposed big time in their secondary. Taking Thomas here would be a good way to fix that fairly quick.

13. Pittsburgh Steelers – OG – Mike Iupati – Idaho

To say that I am surprised with the Steelers would be an understatement. It seems that ever since Troy Polamalu got injured, the team just hasn’t been playing right. Ben Roethlisberger is getting sacked and rushed multiple times each game and hasn’t had a chance to make plays. Mike Iupati is a physical guy who can assist the Steelers in both pass protection and run blocking.

#13) Pittsburgh Steelers- Bruce Campbell (OT Maryland)

The Steelers surprising woes this year can be easily identified in two places, injuries to Safety Troy Polamalu, and their ability to protect QB Ben Roethlisberger, highlighted by the 8 sacks they allowed to the Cleveland Browns of all teams. Pittsburgh must address this need by either one of the top guards or the best Tackle available. Bruce Campbell has shot up draft boards as of late because of his great play this year, Campbell does not have a ton of experience playing but he has all the physical tools and measureables needed to be a dominant Left Tackle in the Pros. At 6-7 315, he has ideal size and his lean build at 315 makes him very quick and athletic, he has possibly the best combination of size and athleticism of any tackle in the draft.

18. Pittsburgh Steelers

Selvish Capers - OT - West Virginia

6-5, 298 pounds

last pick : Anthony Davis
The Steelers needed offensive line help last year but didn't address that need. Now, they have to go and get a good tackle to protect Big Ben, who's been hit more and more back there. Selvish Capers is a great athlete, big, fast and bright and he will help protect Big Ben blind side.

18. Pittsburgh Steelers
Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
The Steelers need LOTS of help on their o-line, and Trent Williams is the best OT on the board.

15 Pittsburgh Steelers OT Bryan Bulaga # Iowa
The Steeler offensive line is the reason they won't make the playoffs in 2009. Beluga has lots of upside, but needs consistency. His play against Derrick Morgan in the Orange Bowl could go a long way in determining his draft stock.

Scouting Report - coming soon
This would be extremely early to select an interior offensive lineman, but it may be the best move for the Steelers. They need to improve their offensive line, but appear committed to Max Starks and Willie Colon at the tackle positions. The emergence of Rashard Mendenhall as a legitimate feature back changes the needs of the Steelers. They need a more physical line capable of opening hopes for Mendenhall's downhill running style.


The rest are a little earlier in the season and are a little off with draft order. I was bored. Hope someone enjoys not having to click.
