A Great Weekend For Pittsburgh

It was an eventful weekend for Pittsburgh. The Pirates beat the shhhh...uh, crap out of the Padres, with both LaRoches on a bit of a tear in the series. The Penguins came back from a 3-0 deficit to beat the Flyers and advance in the playoffs. And, finally, the NFL Draft.

Steelers
Below, I have posted an analysis of the Steelers eight draft picks.
If nothing else with these rookies, they bring some interesting nicknames to the team (Ziggy, Sonny, The Tank). It will be interesting to see what this draft class does over the next couple of years.
Today also marked the first day that teams could sign undrafted rookie free agents, and the Steelers did just that. They signed two quarterbacks to join Roethlisberger, Batch, and Dixon. The two QBs are local kid, Kevin McCabe (Pine Richland) of Cal U of PA and Mike Reilly of Central Washington. The Steelers also signed former Blackhawk grad and Pitt long snapper Mark Estermyer. The team expects to sign about a dozen undrafted rookies this week to fill out the roster.

*Check in this week to keep up with all of the local talent signings.
