24. G - David DeCastro, Stanford
56. T - Mike Adams, Ohio State
86. LB - Sean Spence, Miami (FL)
109. DT - Alameda Ta'amu, Washington
159. RB - Chris Rainey, Florida
231. WR - Toney Clemons, Colorado
240. TE - David Paulson, Oregon
246. DB - Terrence Frederick, Texas A&M
248. T - Kelvin Beachum, SMU
Offense: DeCastro and Adams will help Ben Roethlisberger immensely. The Steelers finally addressed the offensive line early in the draft and got the best guard prospect and one of the best left tackle prospects who will be a good right tackle too. Chris Rainey is probably just a gimmick player, but he could be a Jacoby Ford type for Pittsburgh in time. Toney Clemons is a project WR the Steelers liked and had in for a visit. He's got good size, speed, strength, and physicality, but Clemons needs to work on his route running. David Paulson is another player the Steelers had in for a visit and liked, but he is just a role player in the pass offense.
Defense: Sean Spence isn't an immediately obvious fit as an ILB in a 3-4 front. But the same could once have been said about Lawrence Timmons. Spence may only be a subpackage player early in his career, but could grow and develop into an every-down ILB worth a roster spot. Alameda Ta'amu could start if Casey Hampton isn't recovered from last year's injury, but isn't likely to have much fantasy value.
