  AA Stanford boy.
  
  Agreed, A+
• killer_ewok

  

  Isaiah Pead or LaMichael James tonight? I'd take either.
• Automatik

  

  LaMichael for sure. I've only heard rumblings about him from forums. Any real truth to the interest?

  Todd McShay tweeting about the DeCastro pick...
  
  @McShay13: perfect pick for the Steelers. Wakes up angry. Goes to bed angry. Tough, powerful, experienced and durable. Upgrades pass pro and run gm
  
  LOL. Fucking awesome.

  Whatever draft analyzing group that works with Yahoo called him the steal of the first round and had him ranked as one of the top overall prospects. I like reading things like that.

  I don't know for sure but it sounds like it is according to the Pittsburgh media.

  It does sound like they're interested in James. Whether they're ready to pull the trigger in Round 2 I'm not sure.

  Mike Adams is the pick.
  
  Eh...
• killer_ewok

  

  Good value but some real question marks though...
• Non

  

  Boo.
  
  Hate the pick.
• killer_ewok

  

  Not crazy about it either.
• killer_ewok

  

  Steelers are addressing the offensive line in the draft though. Have been the last few years. Can't say they aren't trying to improve it.

  DeCastro - A+
  Adams - C
  
  Too much baggage. Could've gone another direction there and gotten a good player without the risk.

  Co-sign.

  LT - Marcus Gilbert (24)
  LG - Ramon Foster (26)
  C - Maurkice Pouncey (22)
  RG - David DeCastro (22)
  RT - Willie Colon (29)
  
  Doug Legursky (25) - C/G
  Mike Adams (22) - T
  
  That's a young group. Other than the oft-injured Colon.
• End of Line

  Sonofabitch, I've been busy and just found out we got Adams. I wanted no part of him. We could have gotten LaMichael. DAMMIT!
• Non

  

  probably nose tackle in the third round
• killer_ewok

  

  Fangupo?
• Non

  Could be. Also Chapman, Ta'Amu, Brandon Thompson
  
  Steelers like Fangupo, though
• killer_ewok

  

  Ta'Amu. I drafted him on last year's Madden game in my Steeler franchise. LOL
• killer_ewok

  

  Sean Spence Miami(FL) OLB
  
  Eventual Harrison replacement? Depth for now.
• Non

  

  I think he'll be an inside linebacker for the Steelers.
• Non

  

  Fast, pretty explosive hitter. He'll compete with Foote and Sly to fill Farrior's spot I would think.
