Steelers Select OG/C Maurkice Pouncey (1st Rd, No. 18)

With the 18th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers select Florida OG/C Maurkice Pouncey. He is a squatty, quick-footed athlete that can roll his hips to redirect and adjust to movement or sink his hips to hunker down against a powerful bull rush by big nose tackles. He is quick with his first step after the snap and quick to get a fit with his hands but will let his weight get too far forward at times. Pouncey had surgery to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder in May of 2009 and durability could become a concern down the road.

YEAH BABY

 

Like the pick...a lot.

 

how cow....i got one right on my mock

 

I hear Pouncey is really nervous about having to bend over in front of Ben .

 

He was needed more than any of the WR's available then.

Great pick!

 

Awesome! I celebrated as soon as Iupoti went off the board.

 

lol...regardless of who landed with the Steelers...

 

I want Mays or Spikes in the 2nd round, I really doubt we can land either.

 

I wouldn't mind Mays and would LOVE Spikes...

Highly doubt either would be there at 20. But with Pouncey, so far so good.

 

id love tate in the 2nd and gibson in the 3rd
