Good zone corner, could play safety. I like the pick.

Both of the corners we picked are pure zone corners who's only deficiencies were when they played man-press (with the exception a a slight hidge in Grants backpedal). They are both quick...instinctual...heady players...with above average aggression. In most schemes they would be nickel corners.

Three things:

1. They may already be the best two cornerbacks on our roster (in regards to ceiling)
2. They are very much like William Gay...with speed
3. Think Jason Verrett.

[Steeldude]

I think that will be it for CBs.

I don't see much out there for 3-4 DEs.

[LLT]

Yea....after the Colts took Henry Anderson...I'm not realy enamored with any of the DE's

Does this mean Gay or Allen is our #1 CB?

I've been saying that for the past 16 hours. Thank you.

Great minds...

Who was Delton Hall?

[fansince'76]

Bu-bu-but he isn't 6'5"! Bust!

Zone corners that can tackle.

The Steelers certainly have a type.

And Brady carves up the zone just before the opposing coach hands him a gift in the SB. Time will tell.

True but if you sack and pressure Marsha she wilts

This is much better. Finally we get a lucky break with him still being there. This goes a long way toward changing my opinion of this draft for the better.

Not if the rush gets there first. The speed that they are developing at LB (Shazier, Spence, Dupree, Timmons) and the speed they just added to their secondary means you can get back to not playing straight nickel and dime sub packages that offer little ability to conceal the rush/coverages.

Imagine Shamarko, Mitchell, Cortez, Golson, and Gay across the back. Now line Shazier up in the middle and drop Mitchell down alongside him. Move Dupree and Timmons around. Who is coming? From Where?

Brady beat the Steelers by spreading them out and exposing the weakness in coverage at the LB level. Forced them to go to sub packages with multiple DBs. Then the pass rush couldn't get home and the DBs got exposed. Hell, Shazier can probably run with Gronk. Timmons can take the back in the flat. Golson can stick to Edleman. That leaves say Dupree and Heyward to wreck havock.

And, when Brady gets pressured, he crumbles.

crumbles, then cheats.

But if their WR/TE/RB are open in less than 2 seconds, the pass rush becomes useless!

4(121) Pittsburgh Steelers: Doran Grant, CB, Ohio State: B+ Grade

Another surprising cornerback pick. Doran Grant neither has the size (5-10) nor the athleticism that the Steelers usually look for in their cornerbacks. However, I think this is a solid choice. Doran Grant provides some value, as he could have gone at the end of the third round.

It kinda feels like we're gonna throw a bunch of bodies at the DB position and see if someone can play.
