If there was any motivation for Jerry to grab spotlight just for the sake of grabbing spotlight on draft night, that becomes less likely with the draft in Arlington - not more. If anything, playing host scratches that itch.

Having said that, it would still be idiotic to take an OG at #19. If you take 4 OL out of your last 8 #1 picks when you have so many holes on your defense, it's because you are more concerned about making the front office appear to be drafting better rather than truly making the team better. Anyone can consistently hit on their top draft picks if they are consistently drafting OL in the first round.
solidifying your identity is not idiotic.
dont the steelers have a LONG history of LBs and Rd 1?
I just think everything points to.....how ironic....a LB at 19.

South Carolina State
Darius Leonard was the big draw here, as he's projected to be a second-day linebacker. Here were his pro day numbers

Leonard stood on his combine 40. According to Tony Pauline of DraftAnalyst.com, Leonard will be visiting the Eagles, Cowboys, Giants and Cardinals.

On that list I think Vea or Hernandez would have the biggest impact on the team.
You win in the trenches and either guy sets up their respective units to be very good- to dominant.
