Would we have drafted Mendenhall?

Holmgen and Ruskell have both announced since the draft that Lo-Jack was the man they wanted in the first, and the fact that we didn't look at running backs in the rest of the draft would suggest that Jones, Mo-Mo and T.J have their full confidence. However Mendenhall wasn't supposed to have dropped so far, and has a tremendous combination of size and speed. Do you think if the Steelers had passed on him we would have pulled the trigger?

The Titans probably woulda taken him at 24.

But I think we would have.

against Vegas reliever Casey Hoorelbeke, whose ancestors clearly couldn't spell Hurlbeck properly.

I don't think we would've at all. Instead

Russell would have probably traded down and given the pick to a team that really wanted him.

Probably could have landed a fortune

in draft picks in that scenario.

Yeah. That's why I actually HOPED he'd fall to us.

Perhaps we could’ve gotten a high 2 pick and used it on lojack in any case.

Oh, this was another thing I heard Ruskell talk about in his interview

with Softy, he said that had Mendenhall been there they still would have taken LoJack. And ya, I don’t think he would have made it past the Titans anyways.

I can't get over the fact that LoJack is a theft deterrent

So we can use him to keep those damn Steelers from scoring our shit! Hehe
