    5th Round

    That would be pretty amazing to get 2 of these 3 currently available players with our 5th round picks:

    Marcus Roberson CB Florida
    Antonio Richardson OT Tennessee
    Jackson Jeffcoat DE/OLB Texas

    Who else are you intrigued by?

      CB Rashaad Reynolds, Oregon State or CB Antone Exum, Virginia Tech
      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.

          I was just about to start this thread.

          How about Daniel McCullers DT Tennessee?

          I think that this first pick will be CB - Exum, Roberson, or Reynolds

            I like that between us, we named 4 CB's after getting good value in Bryant in the 3rd. We can still fairly solidly address WR and CB after bolstering the D and getting a playmaker in Dri. we're on the clock! we have our pick of all 4

              I wrote McCullers might be an option. But, I also think a DE/OLB type like Texas, Jackson Jeffcoat could also be their selection.

                      Sure enough, we went corner: Shaquille Richardson. Gonna have to do some googling, honestly.

                          Richardson was in for a visit and he has the triangle we like. And the theme of SPEED continues.

                            Overview

                            2013: Started all 13 games. Second on team with 3 INTs. 2012: Played in 13 games, starting 11. Led team with 14 PBUs. Had 1 INT. 2011: Played in 10 games, starting all 10. Led team with 4 INTs. 2010: Played in 13 games, starting 3. Recorded 2 INTs at Washington State in first career start. High School: No. 26 CB nationally (Scout).
                            Analysis

                            Strengths

                            Quick and agile and is aggressive jumping routes when he sees it. Can make spectacular plays look easy -- produced one of the most sensational highlight-reel plays of the season vs. Oregon when he acrobatically tipped the ball back into play to a teammate for an interception on the first play and closed the game with an interception of his own vs. Marcus Mariota to key a surprise upset. Outstanding pro day workout, posting a 4.43-second 40, 38 1/2-inch vertical jump and 6.95-second three-cone drill time, indicating good speed, agility and explosion. Weaknesses

                            Very lean build. Tends to squat on routes. Lacks eye discipline to sort out run-pass reads -- is late to locate the ball and support the run. Benched in 2012 for lapses in coverage and needs to become more consistent recognizing/supporting the run and securing open-field tackles. Marginal physicality. Character will invite close scrutiny -- was arrested on suspicion of felony theft as an incoming freshman and released from UCLA program. Draft Projection

                            Rounds 6-7 Bottom Line

                            A lean, leggy, underdeveloped press corner who has shown big-time flashes but must prove more consistent in coverage, a greater willingness to tackle and more maturity than he demonstrated early in his career to be given an opportunity to compete.
