Saw someone's mock recently that has the PATs taking Alex Mack at #34 ......back-up for Koppen, replacement for Neal, insurance fore Mankins.

The more I think about it the more I like it.

Thoughts ??

It's a solid option, especially if we go LB in round 1 and the remaining top OTs are off the board. I think there's a decent chance Pittsburgh takes Mack at 32, but he could be available at 34. From what I can tell, some teams prefer Eric Wood, but Mack certainly seems like a solid Pats kind of guy. He's one of several players I have listed as options at that pick.

I'd be fine with that pick if he can play both C and OG. He'd arguably be the the BPA at that draft slot.

Mack has been the most consistent pick going to the Steelers at 32.

I like it! I've always said we need to upgrade and get younger at the Oline!!

Whether he's "best value available" at that slot depends on who we take at 23 and who's available at 34. If we go OT at 23 then I doubt we use #34 on an OG/C, particularly if a top LB prospect is still available. But he's a quality option in that range, if he lasts that long. Assuming we use all 4 of our first day picks, I see us using at least one on OL, either an OT or an OG/C. Possibly even both.

I wouldn't be upset with him at #34.

Or Max Unger, while we are on the subject.

I just have a feeling they go OL a little lower..... #47 or #58. Just whistling in the dark here. A hunch......

They could do worse.

A lot worse.

While I think Wood projects to be a very good OG, I am not sure about Mack. I do not see the flat back drive blocking ability, but maybe it is there and I missed it.
