The Steelers have themselves another weapon at the OLB spot, as today in round four they grabbed Ohio State linebacker Thaddeus Gibson:
The Steelers have taken Ohio State outside linebacker Thaddeus Gibson with their fourth-round pick in today’s NFL draft. The 6-2, 243-pound Gibson played defensive end at Ohio State but projects as a linebacker in the Steelers’ 3-4 defense. Gibson had four sacks and 13 tackles for losses in 2009. He is the first Ohio State played to taken in this year’s draft.

Screw you Colbert! We coulda had Cam Thomas but you slept and let San Diego sneak in and take him. He’s value in the fifth. What are you holding onto your two movable fifth round picks for. That’s potentially Hampton’s replacement in a few years. You let all the good CB’s go!?! So I sure hope injury prone Keenan Lewis and whopping fifth rounder Burnett are ready?!? If you go with gay ass Gay as the other starter again, you oughta have your head examined? Every year Colbert, you suck in the later rounds!!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t have a problem with the (first two) linebackers but the stevenson dude and CB from Clemson picks coulda been packaged and moved up for a slightly higher pick. I do think, however, that Worilds and Gibson will see PT and eventually be starters in a few years…I like getting McFadden back.
