Frank Cooney had him as the 234th best prospect. But, Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder. So something the Steelers have seen in him they like. He is more of a Athlete then a finished CB product. And ever report I have read...says he is a Finess player, who doesn't aggressively tackle.
Doesn't seem like our kind of guy. But hey, I will Bow down to the knowledge of Colbert and the Coaches. Welcome to Pittsburgh Mr. Richardson!!Comment

They have done it before with Keenan Lewis and Joe Burnett, then again with Curtis Brown and Cortez Allen. Both times we got one contributor and one non-contributor. Drafting a second mid-round CB with our 5th comp gives a greater likelihood of having one of them contribute.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.Comment

Analysis
Strengths
Quick out of his stance. Natural bender with athletic, coordinated movement. Light on his feet and can work his hips. Keeps his hands inside and can pop and recoil. Shuffles, slides and mirrors. Gets to the second level with ease and can wheel around the edge as a puller. Durable, versatile 51-game starter -- has experience playing all across the line. Highly respected, passionate, no-nonsense vocal leader.
Weaknesses
Average length. Is not built for power. Needs to bulk up and get functionally stronger. Light anchor -- stressed by power rushers. Does not jolt defenders with his hands. Average explosion/pop on contact. Inconsistent connecting with moving targets and fitting on linebackers. Has had difficulty filling out his frame and maintaining weight.
Draft Projection
Rounds 4-5
Bottom Line
Experienced, intelligent, competitive, athletic, strength-deficient zone blocker. Has everything you want intangibly and has developmental value, but has to make significant strength gains and perfect his technique to survive against longer, more powerful NFL defensive ends. Has worked out as a center in the spring and might be most natural inside.Comment
