The Pittsburgh Steelers wasted no time identifying their guy at #22 as the 2015 NFL Draft Board fell right to them. Many NFL Draft Analysts had the "Black and Yellow" taking a CB, DT/DE, and/or S. The defense at least or the Steelers in 2015 is where the draft concentration is at and rightfully so.

Alvin "Bud" Dupree fell to the Steelers after his name in recent weeks was climbing the draft board. The 1st Team All-SEC 2014 performer and many thought he would be a 4-3 fit and a Top 15 pick. Pittsburgh had to be delighted to get that young man on the board at #22 and they took him with the D-Line so thin and young they add another piece to Cam Heyward the #1 D-Lineman on that Steelers Roster as we go to press.

Dupree reminds me of former 2007 Steelers 2nd Rounder LaMaar Woodley as "Wood" was a 4-3 DE at Michigan converted to a 3-4 OLB as Dupree if they use him in that fashion will have to learn to play in space. Being a former Tight End in high school though and his freakish athleticism might be an easy transformation for him.

The Steelers on Friday will be looking for a CB/S or even a TE maybe as they pick 56th in 2nd round and 87th in 3rd round...
