Day One Analysis: the trade for Santonio Holmes was rumored most of the
day, it was just a question as to what team the Steelers would trade with
and when they would pull the trigger. The Steelers didn’t hide their pleasure
for Willie Reid, I was just surprised they went their and not for a big defensive
tackle.
Day Two Analysis: the defensive tackle I was waiting for Pittsburgh to take
came in the form of Orien Harris, great value in the 4th round. Omar Jacobs
was a surprising pick but depth at quarterback is needed after the Steelers
struggled without Big Ben in the lineup last year. This was another solid overall
draft effort.
Fantasy Impact: Santonio Holmes will see action and catch at least 30 passes
and 4-6 touchdowns. No other immediate fantasy impact can be seen.
Overall Grade: B
