NOTE TO COOLIETARD:
If you want us to pick a Houston Cougar, pimp them elsewhere.

Desmond King could be interesting. Would he be that much better at FS than Gay at FS though? King is slow I believe...but solid player

Depends on where Golsen is in his development....King is a guy who would be a slot corner in the Steeler scheme. Atleast that is where I see him...

He doesn't have the speed...that's why they say he will have to move to FS...

Gay could be bumped off the roster by Lewis if he's signed and can play like he did before he missed almost two years.

His best attribute is his quickness not hi straight line speed. He is a slot/nickel corner. He doesnt have the range to play free but could play the strong safety position in Cover 3 concepts...

Schefter saying Butt would've been a 1 or 2nd round pick if healthy.

What about Carlos Watkins, Qualls or DJ Jones being the 4th round selection?

Hodges is a TE in name only, doesn't even line up as a down player. Was not split out, according to him, less than 18 times all season. In essence, he was a slot 99% of the time. Might as well draft another WR.

I know, but as i said, the steelers appear to be looking for that for the last few years. I'd rather Kittle

I don't know...William Gay is a crafty vet....Tough to see that happening...

If Steelers are committed to switching to a more man coverage defense then Gay offers nothing.

Well, I know they liked Michael Roberts, were all over him at the Toledo pro day, but I never thought he would go this high. Also had a contingent at Clemson, so Leggett and....and I'll throw this out, Carlos Watkins is my dark horse (pass rushing interior DL). I'd also watch Roderick Johnson, OT, FSU.

They definitely needs to play man concepts more often against the Pats...the one time they did they beat that *** in Pittsburgh...That was the last time I seen you and Cheryl at the game...

The more I think about it, the more I think this is a really good spot for Carlos Watkins. He can help at NT and DE, good pass rusher from the inside. 10.5 sacks last year.

A lot of value here with that kid...No problem with Watkins here..
