This draft is one of the many drafts where Bruce Arians leaked the name of a player (who Mike Tomlin liked) to Ed Bouchette... and that player getting stolen from us.
Tomlin liked Branden Albert. Arians told Bouchette. Bouchette wrote about it. We missed out on Albert.
Same me thing happened with Darrelle Revis. And, JJ Watt.
In that draft, I loved me some Ray Rice... and I got him!!! Wait, I meant to say that the Ravens stole him from them... me... us.
That is what I think. If they picked Elam, he might have given the steelers more production than the sandwich artist

BTW, did anybody read that Washington is going to use money from his signing bonus to fix up his first vehicle? Its something like an '85 Chevy Silverado.....how country is that? This kid is gonna come to work !
Ray Fittipaldo's Steelers chat transcript: 5.21.18
Ray Fittipaldo: Welcome to my Steelers chat. Let's get it started.
Brian: Which Steeler rookie logs the most snaps in 2018 season ? Who is your favorite add from draft or undrafted free agent signings ?
Ray Fittipaldo: Assuming he remains injury-free, I would have to say second-round pick James Washington. Offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner came out and said they are expect him to assume the No. 3 WR spot that was vacated by Martavis Bryant being traded to the Raiders. I expect Terrell Edmunds to see duty as a sub-package DB but I don't expect him to start. The sub-package DB last year was Will Gay, and he only played 35-40 percent of the snaps I think.
