    Gilbert/DeCastro/Pouncey/Foster/Colon. Now that's a legit NFL offensive line.

    He looks rock solid. I am very happy with the pick. I'm sure Ben is too. Pouncey will finally have some legit talent next to him.

    Good pick. I am glad they passed on Hightower. Now on to Chapman

    I can't believe that he fell to us. I love this pick. It was a no brainer once he fell to us. Ben now has some more help, and this guy is also going to create craters for Redman to run through.

    Gilbert-DeCastro-Pouncey-Foster-Colon

    That's not a bad offensive line. Maybe Ben won't get sacked a bazillion times this season.

    Funny you should ask.

    Steelers Digest@SteelersDigestTomlin said DeCastro is a right guard. "Everything we would ask him to do we saw him do at Stanford."

    Colbert said they had identified some players they would trade up to get, and DeCastro was one of them.

    Great Pick! I told all my friends that if the first pick didn't read "Name of Player...OL" I was going to be disappointed. I am surprised he fell to us. Hopefully for Bens sake he steps right in and starts and succeeds.

    i really agree with that sentiment. Gotta play to your strengths. Decastro is going to be one of our best O-linemen and if he's best at RG, let's keep him there!

    I didn't even have to wait to hear it. As soon as I saw Detroit passed on him I knew they would take him and not Hightower.

    Pick gets awesomer by the second. “@Chris_Gates: David DeCastro's father and grandfather were rugby stars in South Africa.#Steelers

    Colbert said he was one of the 7 to 10 prospects the Steelers had identified as "surefire" NFL players before the draft.

    Well at least next year I wont have to listen to people bitch about Us not adressing the O-line in the draft.

    In all seriousness, its ridiculous that he fell to us at 24. The best OG in the entire draft and the leage let him fall to the Steelers. Amazing get for us.

    So per reports he can run block AND pas block. Almost forgot what that was like having on the roster.

    Personally I think this says it all...

    I have been a Steelers faithful since I was a 6 year old... my mom has pictures of me dressed in my steelers uniform back in '76... yep I'm old but a diehard... I understand defense and recognize offense, if you get it you get it.

    I really think a special player fell into our laps. I feel very excited and fortunate.
