Steelers Draft RB and WR in First Round

Well, not exactly how I saw the first round of the draft but maybe day 2 will be better. I’m surprised at a running back with the first pick, especially with the signing of Mewelde Moore a few weeks ago. Drafting Rashard Mendenhall looks to be a decent pick and I know Fast Willie Parker needs someone to take the pressure off him. So, it really doesn’t surprise me that they drafted a RB, it’s where we drafted him.

The next pick does surprise me with the holes we need to fill at OL, DL, CB and S, a WR is something we need but I thought we’d pick up a good WR in day two. I don’t know a lot about Limas Sweed but he looks good on paper.

I guess tomorrow we’ll work on filling the gaps in the Offensive Line, at least I hope we do. As I said before, the Steelers always draft well so I’m not worried at all with the picks or where we are as of right now.
