Alameda Ta'amu NT 4th Round selection

[Dee Dub]

Nice!! Love this draft!

[birtikidis]

Ta'amu!

I like this pick. Woulda preferred chapman though

[Steel Life]

It's Ta'Amu Time!

Steeler trade up with the Redskins to get him - swapped picks in the 6th.

[Dee Dub]

Back in October I was all over this guy. To get him in the 4th is really great value. He is going to be a force. This is the type of guy who can keep LB's clean. He needs some work but the Steelers will get it out of him.

lol dee i just posted the same thing
Geat minds think alike bud

[Chadman]

Well, that's how you keep Sean Spence clean... hard to fault that pick- again.

Steelers are on fire here.

[Prowler]

Horrible, horrible pick. Baylor rushed for nearly 500 yards against this turd in the bowl game. They also passed for another 300 and put up 67 points in that game.

[Mister Pittsburgh]

Good draft so far. Getting quality players at positions of need!

Now we need RB-SS maybe WR-TE-FS-QB-FB possibly P-K.

This guy had a first round grade for a long time. I was worried about hiss size but when i saw what he actually checked in at the combine I was surprized because early in the college football season he was listed at 6 ft 4 to 6 ft 5. But actually he is like 6 ft 2 1/2. And he is a a load. We have to keep everything in perspective in being crtiical of his flaws. We have a two down player here. But that is all the Steelers need for their NT.

Make no mistake. This guy is a project. He will need a couple of years. Hopefully Hampton has a couple more in him.

Can you name another quality player on the Washington Huskies defense from this past year?

But if you wanna put that all on Ta'amu then cool.

I dont think so much. I believe this time next year he is the starter. He can already do the one proimary function a 3-4 NT needs to do. Garner two blocks. Again folks we are talking about a two down player. The big project that some seem to think is way over valued at this position.

[Dee Dub]

All the experts (ESPN and NFL Network), seem to love this pick and think the Steelers got a steal in round 4 with him. And all the tape they just showed of him (versus Nebraska, UCLA, and Oregon), he was flat out unblockable.

I'll be the first to say it...the Steelers got a future pro bowler in Alameda Ta'Amu.

This is the same guy you thought should be our first round pick in January. I am not downing the pick....I think this is where he should have gone. I would have rather had Thompson in the 3rd though.
