Let's Get on With It

The NFL draft is coming up here faster than you think. What do the Steelers need in this draft? I think the Pittsburgh Steelers should draft some really good players that can play the game of football. How about that for a statement. Draft "Football Players". Do the Black 'n Gold need a quarterback? Probably not but I would like to see them get a 21 or 22 guy and develop him for the future. Do the Steelers need a running back? Possibly but sometimes you can find real good running backs late in the draft or as undrafted free agents. Do the Steelers need a TE? No, this is a solid position. Do the Steelers need wide receivers? Probably not but if a great one comes along, you probably need to look at him. Do the Black 'n Gold need Offensive Linemen? Just my opinion, a team can always use quality offensive linemen. The O-line has had injuries and Coach Kugler has done a marvelous job with the O-line, but they should look at the 2011 draft as a means of getting some offensive linemen. Does Pittsburgh need defensive linemen? Maybe not this draft but shortly down the road they will. Do the Steelers need linebackers? This is a real good position for them but the Steelers like numerous NFL teams like to draft these hybrid players, DE/OLB types, who can run and makes plays and help on special teams. Do the Steelers need defensive backs. I say Yes. Why? because great defensive backs are hard to find especially shut down corners. With the way teams are throwing the football, you need a multitude of quality defensive backs. Do the Black 'n Gold needs any kickers? Maybe a punter not because Sepulveda is not good but because he has had some unfortunate injuries. The NFL Draft is fun to watch. Let's get on with it before each team gets the old football scouts famous quote "paralysis by over-analysis."
