Nice pick. I'm out of town, but overall ivebeen super pleased with this draft...

Yeah and if the Steelers trade up to select him, what does that tell you?

He is perfect for their defense.

Is he a pass rushing outside LB, or can he play inside in the 34. If he cant play inside in our scheme this was a waste of a pick.

He's an ILB.

Nice Pick IMO...........was pretty well-regarded and fills a need.

Keenan Robinson was ok at Texas. Is too lean for the inside and too slow for the outside..should have gotten a safety or Burfict (later) IMO

Can this Keenan guy play inside?

Very nice pick!

He looks like a safety

That would be nice if that is the plan for him.

Wait ... an OLB?

Kerrigan, White, Jackson, Orakpo ... aren't we deep in young talent at that position? Am I missing something? What about OT? DB? ILB? Aren't we in need there? ... not sure what the thinking is.

He's an ILB.

Nice Pick IMO...........was pretty well-regarded and fills a need.

Well if he's an ILB thats a little different but I would have worshiped the front office for another ZB lineman.
