Alright, with the draft ending yesterday I’ve finally had time to sit and mull over the Pittsburgh Steelers picks, per usual I’ve got nothing to complain about because historically, the Steelers draft pretty well. We’ll take a look at every player they drafted and see what they can do in a Steelers uniform in the best case scenario.

Round One: Maurkice Pouncey, OL, Florida

There’s no doubt in my mind that Pouncey will step in immediately as a starter along the offensive line, presumably at guard, but perhaps at center. Personally I’d start him off at guard and when Justin Hartwig’s gone move him to center and let him wreak havoc on opposing defenses. Either way, this is a great value pick and will definitely pay dividends for years to come.

Round Two: Jason Worilds, LB, Virginia Tech

Per Keith Butler, Worilds is going to earn his stripes before he sees the field and more than likely will not spell incumbent starters LaMarr Woodley and James Harrison. He’ll be focused on keeping his work ethic well tuned on special teams and learning how to play the stand up game after playing defensive end in college. It’s going to be a few years before we can truly evaluate this pick.
