With their third round pick (#95 overall) the Pittsburgh Steelers (http://www.steelerschronicle.com/) finally addressed the one position that Steelers Nation had been clamoring for since Super Bowl XLV – cornerback. The pick was Curtis Brown, a cornerback out of Texas and teammate of the man many mock drafts had the team selecting – Aaron Williams.

Curtis Brown might have not been as hyped as his Longhorns teammate, but he’s certainly a very good football player, and a welcome addition to a battered and bruised secondary unit. A converted wide receiver, Brown has hands that make Ike Taylor ashamed.

I’ll let that sink in for a moment – Pittsburgh has a corner who excels at catching the football. Previously in the secondary the only player that could be relied upon to make plays on the ball and create turnovers in the form of an interception was Troy Polamalu.............

He may not have many interceptions in his career, but when he's in position at least he won't drop them

I'd love to see this kid in our nickle this year!

and wow at the guy who predicted 3 of our picks in almost perfect slots
