David DeCastro News

The battle of the Steelers offensive tackles doesn't exactly contain Matt Kalil or Joe Thomas, but Marcus Gilbert and Mike Adams will compete all the same.

The time is now for the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line. After years of spending high draft picks on the position, this unit is poised to transform from one of the team's biggest weaknesses to one of its strengths.

It's understandable why Tomlin would keep his sights lower on his 2013 draft class.

The Steelers had what most consider to be a solid, if not strong, draft. They still fell two spots in an NFL.com post-draft Power Rankings list.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a reputation of not starting players during their rookie season.

Lots of steak, low on sizzle in this year's draft class, and it appears that's exactly what the Steelers were hoping to get.

I'm loving this time of the year. Not just because we have finally reached draft weekend and are beginning to see the shape of the future of the Steelers organization, but just as important we are finally moving out of the MSU phase of the NFL year.

We all know what happened last year when, unexpectedly, David DeCastro fell all the way to the Steelers at pick #24. The Steelers do not seem to be targeting interior offensive or defensive linemen in this year's draft, but what if one of them is the best player available at #17? Mike Mayock released his mock draft last night.

If they have the same lack of success with this year's draft, which begins tonight with the first round, the Steelers more than likely won't even sniff the Super Bowl in 2013 - and maybe for several years.

The past two and a half months have done absolutely zero in providing any clarity to what players are in contention for the first pick overall, let alone what the Arizona Cardinals will be doing with the seventh pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.
