Shields looked like Tarzan played like Jane. I would have picked...(gotya) Peezy is the best of the lot as he had critical run for us. Smith was no slouch he was a solid number 2. I thought overall a decent draft. Ol famous Amos he did ok. I want to say that was an A- draft.

I forgot Porter and Smith came in the same draft. Loved Joey, But I feel that Smith is one of the most under rated Steelers of all time. Great run stopper!

Aarin Smith. Still one of my all time favorite Steelers. Quintessential team guy, solid as a rock and you never heard a peep out of him off the field unless it was something positive.

Most of the starting/ starring players come out of the first round. What makes a draft though is if you can get a gem after the first. The Jarvis Jones fiasco was rescued by getting Leveon Bell, whether you like him or hate him, he provided some big time excitement in his time in Pittsburgh. So now they got a sure fire starter via the trade last season. I'm not even gonna bother watching Thursday. Or at best I will have an eye on it because there hasn't been sports in a month. Thursday however, I'm hoping the Steelers can net a this season Starter at Nose, or an immediate contributor at Oline or offensive skill position. Go Steelers!!!!!
