Round 1, Pick 32 (32) Evander Hood DT 6’3″ 300 Missouri
Pick Analysis:The Steelers snag the energetic Hood at the bottom of the first round to upgrade their depth along the line. Though many pegged Hood as a “one-gap” interior tackle, his combination of strength and movement fit in nicely as a 3-4 defensive end. With the luxury of learning behind a veteran crew, Hood should develop into a starter in a year or two.
Round 3, Pick 15 (79) (From Broncos) Kraig Urbik OT 6’5″ 328 Wisconsin
Pick Analysis:The former Badger is a tough, blue-collar player with the ability to create a push along the line. Though he has limited athleticism, he gives the team a quality young player with the potential to develop into a versatile starter.
Round 3, Pick 20 (84) (From Bears through Broncos) Mike Wallace WR 6’0″ 199 Mississippi
Pick Analysis:The former Rebel is a pure deep threat with outstanding speed and quickness. With Nate Washington leaving via free agency, Wallace has a chance to become an instant contributor as a third or fourth receiver for the Steelers.
Round 3, Pick 32 (96) Keenan Lewis CB 6’0″ 208 Oregon State
Pick Analysis:Lewis made 48 starts in college. I’ve heard he’s had some troubles with his tackling, but he’s a solid press corner. He made a name for himself at the Senior Bowl.
Round 5, Pick 32 (168) Joe Burnett CB 5’9″ 192 Central Florida
Pick Analysis:The Steelers get a talented but undersized corner prospect with Burnett. The former Golden Knight has good ball skills and should compete for a playing time as a possible dime corner candidate.
Round 5, Pick 33 (169) (Compensatory selection) Frank Summers RB 5’9″ 241 UNLV Pick Analysis:The former Rebel is a bruiser and has the skills to shine as a fullback or short-yardage specialist in the Steelers’ offense. He could potentially steal some touchdowns from Willie Parker.
Round 6, Pick 32 (205) Ra’Shon Harris DT 6’4″ 298 Oregon Pick Analysis:Harris was a one-year starter, which is a concern. He’s good against the double-team and has push up the middle. Harris performed well in the Shrine Game, and that helped him quite a bit. He’s fast but sometimes struggles with his conditioning.
Round 7, Pick 17 (226) (From Buccaneers) A.Q. Shipley C 6’1″ 304 Penn State Pick Analysis:Shipley is short and has short arms compared to the prototypical center, but he’s still an outstanding football player. It’s tough to be in the NFL at his height and with his arm length, but he has very good ability. He will fit in well with the Steelers as a local Pennsylvania boy.
Round 7, Pick 32 (241) David Johnson TE 6’2″ 260 Arkansas State Pick Analysis:Johnson is an H-back and a Steelers-type player with quickness and the ability to run vertical routes. He had 16 yards per catch in college. He’s a good fit for what Pittsburgh tries to do on offense.
