Lot of picks I like. But he could be the steal. Could very well be Johnson if it is true that the Steelers saw him as a first round prospect. A lot to like with this one though. Kind of corner who has worked out for the Seahawks in the past. And one thing is for sure, Steelers would do well to finally hit on a corner prospect. I am hoping he helps kick Burns to the curb sooner than later. Also still wouldn't mind bringing Sens back for depth. As a coach just said you can never have enough good corners. There is no reason to pretend Burns isn't a bust.

time will tell but this defense has let the team down way to many times, lets hope this draft gives us a better defense. Maybe Tomlin can see Burns needs to hit the road now
 
Agree on this one. I think he has tremendous upside. Dude has only been playing the position for a few years. He has all of the tools needed and is just a baller. Give him until year 2 or 3 and he may be one of our starters.

Neither have I but let's NOT force feed him in the line up. I'd rather have this rookie making a few mistakes than Burns' number of mistakes.



Salute the nation

Let's just hope that Nelson keeps us happy and we don't see much of Burns this season.

I have his locker room nameplate, although I would rather he not bust out for the Steelers sake more than anything.

But that confidence looks shot.
 
Snell & D. Johnson are the steals of the draft. People get all caught up in 40 dash times. Football speed is different. For a wide-out: Starts and stops, making people miss, mis-direction, field vision & breaking people's ankles is WAY MORE IMPORTANT....That is called "Football speed"

For a RB, the same can be said as above, but Snell is a MACK TRUCK. Snell has a way of inflicting pain & wearing down a defense which no 40 yard dash can quantify or for that matter a Bench Press @ 225...

2 studs right here
 
I'd go with Snell. He's a beast to bring down and he reads his blocks really well. He hits the hole with authority. I know he isn't the fastest RB but he's a load. I sure as hell don't trust Tomlin and Butler to do Layne any favors.
 
A RB who can get 200yds & 4td’s on 4 carries would be great, but I would rather have a RB who gets 30 4yd runs EVERY game
