February 22, 200818 yr comment_31535 http://nfldraft.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=777329 According to the Steelers GM, this is the best OL draft in 24 yrs. Means we can take a top notch OL man in 1st or 2nd. Report
February 22, 200818 yr comment_31537 Not to discount, but this could also be a bit of PR spin by the Steeler's GM. They are about to lose Starks and Faneca, two of their top OL, and respected veterans. Pitt is not a team that traditionally attacks FA w/ big signings. Thus they are most likely to seek Starks and Faneca's replacements through the draft. So telling fans this is such a great draft for OL could be a bit of PR spin. Report
February 22, 200818 yr comment_31556 I have been readin in many other places that many so called experts are saying that this draft is fairly deep in OL. I'm sure Pit's putting a good spin on it, but I think there's some validity. But only time will tell! Not to discount, but this could also be a bit of PR spin by the Steeler's GM.

February 22, 200818 yr comment_31563 Hey, I think this is in fact a very solid, and deep draft for OTs. I know less about the OGs. That was not my point. My point was only that I would not go off what the Pitt GM says too much, as he has too much reason for spin. Report
