Shazier looked amazing last week, i dont know whats going on this week, but maybe the whole team was getting elevated.

Not as easy for many first rounders to play top shelf their first season. Our offensive linemen have been fine examples and a strength.

A hint, a Cowboys site isn't a good place to be pro-active Steelers.

Welp. Thanks for stealing that one, Pitt.

I really did like Shazier and he may very well turn out to be a really good player for them... but I am really glad they took him, leaving us to take Martin.

The lines (OL and DL) are where this team needed (needs) to spend its high draft picks. IMO, LB's are not a good position to go in round 1 for a 43 defense. In Pitt's 34, it makes a little more sense to me. The LB's are what makes that scheme go. However, it is DL that makes Marinelli's 43 dominant (or not).

I realize that Shazier was written down on the card on draft day, which means that Marinelli must disagree with my sentiments on first round LB's... but I still say thanks for taking him Pittsburgh. Martin is already looking fantastic and he will impact the run and the passing game. Great pick. I'm not even sure that I'd trade Martin for Donald straight up anymore, and that is saying a LOT for me.

I wouldn't worry too much about the Steelers. We made the Bengals look bad in preseason last year, and they ended up in the playoffs.
