When will Tomlin and Colbert do their press conference about their pick. Right away or will they just wait until Watt gets to Pittsburgh?

[Sugar]

Pretty happy about this one. Lot's of ticked off Packers fans right now.

You just missed it in twitter, but look like it was from steelers.com

I'm concerned about his speed but I just have to trust Colbert. He's pretty good at finding linebackers

Straight line speed is actually not that overly important for 3-4 outside linebackers to be honest. Compared to various other abilities and skills. Many average runners has had incredible success. Woodley (short time) and Harris for example. You just have to have enough. And frankly he has better speed that both those guys.

The more I think about, I love this pick. It's probably one of the safest picks in the entire first round. And that is always a boon. There were three or 4 guys who might have, but were unlikely to fall. That i may have preferred. But i really like this pick a tonne. There are very few guys in the entire draft who will walk up to Harris and say "Hello Mr. Harris, please teach me everything you know. And can I be your workout partner?"

And frankly, I think there were only legitimately a dozen ish guys were clearly better football players at this point in time, regardless of experience or position. All others - - not really. Flip a coin. In a flip the coin I go with character, bloodlines, and fer urthupside every time. His upside is as great as anybody in the first round and better than the vast majority of them quite frankly.

Go Steelers!
