Kinda what I'm thinking, in the 5th round, hell yeah. Good role player, nice little swiss army knife you can insert a few places and looks to be a special teams ace possibility too. In the 3rd round, I'll pass on the combine hype 

My thoughts exactly.

i think he is a pretty safe bet as a ST ace.  However,  after that I think he is a gimic player in sub packages.  You will only be as successful as your DC is creative with him.

Voted Griffin. At this point in the draft, I am cool with rolling the dice with my assumption that worst case scenario he is a core special teamer. I can live with that in the third with an upside of a potential sub package player. 

I dont see a path to playing time for any of those OLBs or CBs and I do not value drafting a running back this year with Bell aboard. WR would probably be my debating choice because Rogers played 35% of the snaps last year, so there is a path to PT, especially if you have ST abilities. 

But the ability is there with Griffin and I would be okay taking a shot at that with already having taken a ILB and a Safety.

Thanks for breaking the tie, @Dcash4

Fun fact:  Shaquem has a twin brother who also played for UCF.

I threw in some players with a 6th round grade since the Steelers do not have a 6th pick.  First player I throw off the list is Apke.

With Jebrick post...Watson and Wilson  at WR....Nichols the DL Steelers brought in for visit...Neal at SS interesting too.

I like Neil because he was a press corner without the hips to make it in the NFL.  Thus a Safety.  If they want a RB then this is the round with Ballage.  WR already mentioned.  Joseph and Harris are two good corners. Skai Moore would be a great pick but we have Griffin.
