Captain Tailgate texted me earlier in the night that it was going to break our way and when the Chiefs passed I knew he would fall, The Steelers drafted the best guard in the draft in David DeCastro!
DeCastro is 6’5″ and 312 pounds of anchor-ability. This is what we have been waiting for! He doesn’t get beat in pass blocking and he is an absolute monster run blocker. DeCastro is excellent at trapping and pulling out. He gets to the second level and absolutely mauls linebackers! He has a great work ethic and will fit in great with the Steelers!
Stanford was DeCastro’s choice for college because of it’s academic standards!
LOVE THIS PICK! PPG is calling him Faneca II.
The evil Patriots took Dont’a Hightower next and believe me that hurt to see but I really believe the Steelers got this one right!
BEER WE GO STEELERS! BEER WE GO!

This was the best pick the Steelers could have hoped for in the draft! Glenn was awesome too, but loved this pick!
