A rundown of the Steelers' draft picks. It has been a few days since the Draft and I have had to do some reserch on some of the Steelers' lower draft picks.
1st Round Pick 24
OG David DeCastro, Stanford A+
This player was a great pick up. The Steelers commented after the Draft that he was one of the players they would trade up for and didn't have to. With a great balance of speed and power as a guard he will fit perfectly with the Steelers that love to pull their guards. DeCastro rarely gets beat and protected Andrew Luck at Stanford in their pro-style offense. I expect him to be another Pro Bowler on the Steelers' line and should be ready to start out of the gate. Although, he may not be the most excting first pick but he will add to the exciting plays Ben Roethlisberger makes and keep Ben upright throughout the season. Also one of the smartest players in the Draft which will give him the ability to start right away.
2nd Round Pick 56
OT Mike Adams, Ohio...

The Steelers have given jersey numbers to their incoming class of draft picks and undrafted free agents. David DeCastro is number 61. These things are never set in stone though. Especially since the Steelers ran out of numbers and some are doubled. Cameron Heyward changed his right before the season last year. LaMarr Woodley did the same. Caution to those who plan on...
