Green, Jones will be draft's prized catches

The Steelers appear to have hit home runs in the past two drafts when selecting wide receivers.
In 2009, they brought in speedy Mike Wallace as a third-round pick. They followed that last year with third-round selection Emmanuel Sanders and sixth-round pick Antonio Brown.

Each were key contributors in 2010.

But with Hines Ward now 35 years old and clearly on the decline - except on "Dancing with the Stars" - there might be a need to add yet another young receiver for quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in this year's draft, which will be held Thursday through Saturday.

I think we look in the later rounds. Corner, O-line, D-line not necessarily in that order but these are our needs. I know Best player available and that's why I say not in that order. You are right we need an heir to Hines but a guy like him doesn't come around often. Maybe not again for years. One that is a receiver with a LB mentality. When he does decide to hang it up I look for our strategy to change at least a little unless we can find that gem that is fearless and mean.

I agree dave, I think there will be some dandy WR prospects in the 5th round, like, Terrance Toliver
