The Steelers held the #10 and #24pick in this past simmed draft and all the rumors had the Steelers taking QB Blanton from FSU at 10 but instead they drafted a stud OLB in 6'4 267 Roman Franklin the fast powerful backer from LSU pairing him with Alex HighSmith Cam Heyward Dj Jones Kingsley Keke and TJ Watt provides a stout front in the Steelers vaunted 3-4 defense which should pose numerous problems for opposing teams offenses. When asked about why they chose not to draft a QB Coach King retorted "who said we were going QB? " Yeah we liked Blanton but Winston is our QB and we addressed some depth issues as well as adding a playmaker or two. I fully expect Winston to build upon his first season as a Steelers with being more comfortable in the system and being surrounded by weapons we could see an MVP like season from QB1. The Steelers are set to face the Arizona Cardinals opening weekend.
