Our 6th!
 
Canada uses a lot of hback formations so he may be iseful there… he can also be a straight RB…

RB looks to be his most natural position. May be a solid backup to Najee, who can be a swiss army knife in multiple ST roles as well.

If you dig into his tape, looks suprisingly fluid lined-up in the backfield & with the ball in his hands.

 
So now we have two FBs that we're never going to use who have brothers on our defense?

Actually Connor can pass catch and you can use both on special teams.

Actually, 3. Heyward, Watt and Edmunds (Trey).
 
A total waste of a pick that could somehow help this team. Nepotism at it's best I guess! How about a CB project that has some upside? No, we get a FB that will never be used but will take roster space from someone who could actually contribute in some way!

Because their late corners usually pan out?

They had an extra 7th I am ok with the pick..
 
Cam is an awesome player for the team and I look forward to seeing Conner being a Steeler. I feel like Cam would keep his *** in line if he gets stupid.
Yep. Just like he has kept everyone else's *** in line over the years here.

Cam chewed Jarvis's *** on more than one occasion. I think he can keep lil bro in line.

I don't like the pick. I guess if he plays ST and we get rid of Watt now and save a few dollars. Watt barely saw the field outside of ST.....doubt Connors see it anymore than he did.
 
We all knew they were going to get Heyward, fine, but either with a 7th-round pick or as a UDFA. Most people didn't have him being drafted. Why did we reach and use our 6th-round pick on him? Is this entire draft scripted by Canaduh? Does this mean they are going to cut Watt?
