    YES! By far.

      Yeah, DeCastro will compete with Legursky, Foster, and Essex like I would compete with Brad Pitt over the best looking women at last call.
      Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

      Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

      We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

      We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

        If you look at the fact that there are 22 starters on a football team, not counting kickers and punters. That leaves 20. Then count that there are two guards, two tackles, two WR's, two CB's, either two ILB's or two OLB's (depending on what scheme you run), two D-lineman (DE or DT depending on scheme), that would leave 13 players who can say in the first round that they are the best player at their position. And the Steelers definitely got one.....and they got him at #24. Wow!!

              A steal of epic proportions, really. How do so many teams pass up a guy like DeCastro?

                      speaking of Pouncey....I would have liked to get him last year. I think I'll take DeCastro instead though.

                        By over drafting quarterbacks which cause other dominoes to fall and the fact that OG is probably the least coveted every down player on the field; the next thing you know the #1 rated player at his position falls into your lap.

                                Hopefully we can get a good one without trading up. It seems like tempting fate almost...
