A QUARTERBACK Driven League....2012 Draft Report....AFC North Edition....STEELERS #24...Dawg Pound #4 #22...the Jungle #17 #21...and #PurpleBrowns #29

The time has come so future NFL Players is your Cell Phone Bill paid in full to get that call or do you have the Blow Up Phone?

Another BLUEDUDE SPORTSTALK Exclusive....A Quarterback Driven League 2012 Draft Report...and first up the rugged hardly imitated and never duplicated AFC North.

The 2012 Draft Order is in and who is going to make that pick or picks that make an immediate impact on Sunday or who will get some duds.

We will be going through all 32 NFL Teams and what they need to do in the 1st round and then after that you need to get to someone else.

BLUEDUDE'S 2012 1st Round Projections and possible Trade Scenarios for the AFC North by Draft Order sponsored by Dawg Pound and the Jungle...you both have 2 picks in front of the STEELERS and Purple Browns....so make them count because we in Steelers Country are tired of the excuses:

DAWG POUND ( 5-11 in 2011): They have the #4 and #22 Picks in the 1st round and what should they do?  They need immediate upgrades on Offense and at #4 they have 2 options in 'Bama RB Trent Richardson or Stillwater's WR justin Blackmon. If they take 12th Man's QB Ryan Tanneyhill they have messed up again. At the #22 say they get Richardson at #4 they need to get speed and a playmaker on the outside in Baylor's WR Kendall Wright or they also need a Right Guard in UGA's Cordy Glenn. If they get at #4 WR Justin Blackmon they need to get Glenn at RT if he is there or trade #22 for Bears RB Matt Forte.

BENGALS ( 9-7 in 2011):  The Bengals have #17 and #22 and they need Defensive Help at both Corner and OLB. Corners available at #17 should be Bama's Dre Kirkpatrick, South Carolina's  Stephon Gilmore, or former Gator and North Alabama CB Janoris Jenkins. If they get that at #17 then at #22 the best OLB could be Bama's Courtney Upshaw but he might be gone to the Jets or Eagles before #22. Would they trade out of #22...maybe. A OG or WR could be on the Menu as well and again Glenn is on everyones Wish List and throw in South Bend WR Michael Floyd.

STEELERS (12-4 in 2011): They really need to keep Big BEN upright and Steelers Nation and everyone else has been saying that for years. They also covet the 6'4" 250lb Violent Type and we know that for sure in Steel Town....Linebackers and Primanti's Brothers. Do they get Bama' ILB Dont'a Hightower or go for UGA's Glenn or even LT Mike Adams of The Ohio State University. Suppose Glenn and Hightower are gone then what?....Help at Corner in UNA's Janoris Jenkins or Bama's Dre Kirkpatrick.

PURPLE BROWNS (12-4 in 2011): Ray Lewis is getting really old and they need an ILB like Bama's Dont'a Hightower. They also need a compliment for WR Torrey Smith and that could be South Carolina's Alshon Jeffrey or Ramblin' Wreck's WR Stephen Hill. What about Center Matt Birk and his age and Center could also be a priority.

This is just what the BLUEDUDE has on his 2012 Draft Board and watching a lot of College and Sunday Football this season. Being part of Steelers Nation I really know the AFC North like a part of the Steelers Staff and not only what the Steelers need but what everyone else needs in the Division.

Look out for the Bengals as they started to turn the corner REAL TALK last season and the Browns have to come North sooner than later they have gotten old and almost retired staying South. Forget the Cardiac Kids and QB Bernie Kosar.....make the right DA** Pick for once.

Steelers have work to do at #24 as they have to have some luck for THEIR GUY to fall to them whom ever that may be. Purple Browns aka the RAVENS need some luck to with Pick #29 towards the end of the 1st round.
