The Steelers select Rashad Jennings, RB, Liberty

I'd say that's a BPA pick.

The Steelers would have a stable of ****ing horses, that's for sure.

I got my draft magazines this week, so I looked up Cody Brown. He was listed as a defensive end in both magazines, but then I noticed his weight listed at 242 pounds. Yup, he's a linebacker.

Thank you kind, sir.

It's a steal of a pick, but I haven't the slightest idea how it helps.

I was originally considering Jennings for the Giants, but it's largely the same problem, and he didn't bring enough of a unique skillset to warrant a pick (he's a poor man's LJ -- well, at this point in LJ's career, he is LJ).

Chase Daniel, however, is a toolman's toolbox of tools.

Here's my line of thinking and why I think it's a good move... Willie Parker is already 28 years old and he had less than 800 yards rushing last year in 16 games, that isn't good enough for a starter.

Mewelde Moore is a servicable back, but he's more of the short-yardage specialist and saw more time last year because of Mendenhall's injury. He has a place on the Steelers, but he isn't the workhorse that can carry the team on his back, long-term.

Mendenhall was injured and still has all the potential in the world, but he is nothing more than a question mark at this point and being able to draft a possible stud starter in Jennings should only serve to assure that the Steelers have a servicable back no matter the circumstances, possibly the best 1-2-3 punch in the league after this move. This is a planning for the future move, that gets them the BPA and IMPROVES their RB stable so they don't miss a beat, long-term.

Willie Parker sucks, end of story, I wanna nail him to the ****ing cross.

Why would you be so passionate about a RB on another team that you aren't a fan of?

I'm paraphrasing a great man.

In your scenario do the Steelers carry 4 RBs on their roster or cut Mewelde Moore?

It's a good pick. Parker just isn't that good and I don't think he'll even be playing in a couple of years.

Um didn't the Steelers just use a 1st round pick on a RB last year...

It's the very bottom of the third round. That's a fine time to find a #2 back, especially when your #1 pick spent most of last year on the IR.

Mendenhall had a total of 75 offensive yards last year!
