    I like him. He is going to be more reliable than branch. But branch could have a higher ceiling with being versatile.

    Brian Branch, Trenton Simpson, Drew Sanders, Keanu Benton, Keion White still on the board. Who are we hoping to fall?

    Actually if You have a guy that rotates both sides it would be more than that. We rotate quite often, or at least We have been.

    I misread it at first, too. The deal they actually got wasn't that great, especially if they believe in Porter. They got a guy projected to go in the middle of the first round at the beginning of the second and he plays a position of need. The only reason I liked the idea of trading back is there were so many guys I like still there. Porter, Smith, Branch, and Mayer would all have worked.

    Also, I was always happy that the Steelers didn't draft Willis, but even more so now. :)

    He's a way better blocker than his hands. I think he had some really bad grades on that.

    Branch is the guy I want out of that list, followed by Benton, Sanders, White, and Simpson. I'd be happy with any of them at 49.

    At pick 32, the Steelers select their highest drafted Penn State player since they selected another Penn State player who made no. 32 one of the most beloved numbers in the Steel City. Something about the number 32. Glad we stayed put and made the pick. Seemed meant to be.

    I think they probably have been trying, but We probably wanted to much. Of course I don't know that forsure

    Drew Sanders is probably the best of them.

    Could always get greedy on offense and eye up Jonathan Mingo

    The kid was given so much hype, especially coming out of a small school. Might never happen for him, but his best bet is trying to hook into a system and just learn to be a decent back up. You can build a lifetime of wealth sitting as a number 2.

    You know I'm not a M. Willis fan, but Levis (however it's spelled) is not a sure thing. So if M. Willis has progressed....He has a chance.
