Steelers Sign TE Spaeth

The Steelers have signed 3rd round draft pick Matt Spaeth.

The 6 foot 7 tight end from Minnesota joins Heath Miller, Jerame Tuman, Jonathan Dekker and Cody Boyd to give the Steelers the most lethal group of big, generic, white tight ends in the league.

Dallas Baker also signed, leaving only 1st rounder Lawrence Timmons and 5th rounder William Gay to sign in time for training camp on Monday.

There is no other current info about the signing. So this post is over.

Woodley Has At Least 4 Years To Learn Pittsburgh Roadways

Steelers 2nd rounder LaMarr Woodley, famous for getting lost on the streets of Pittsburgh, has signed a 4-year deal with the team. Terms were not released.

Wood's signing means that only 1st rounder Lawrence Timmons, TE Matt Spaeth and Cornerback William Gay are the last remaining draft picks to sign. A deal with Spaeth is being worked out, and Timmons is also optimistic.

Woodley is stepping into some big shoes. Not only is he switching over from defensive end to outside linebacker, but he also took over Joey Porter's number 55. PSaMP likes the ballsy decision.

Also, with the Woodley announcement coming today, there is hope that early reports of a Polamalu deal are true. Apparently, the Steelers wanted to keep the Woodley and Polamalu announcements separate so that both got the respect/publicity due.

Mini Pony of the Day 4-29-07

Today's MPotD is actually 5 cool tiny horses, one for each of the Steelers' 2nd day draft picks. I guess that's Daniel Sepulveda on the left, Ryan McBean next to it, Cameron Stephenson in the back (slightly obscured), William Gay in the shadow of the foreground, and Dallas Baker on the right.

Name one other sports site that has a cooler picture of its day 2 draft picks. I'll wait...

5th Round, Steelers Choose Cameron Stephenson and William Gay

In the 5th round, the Steelers picked Cameron Stephenson, OG from Rutgers with the 156th overall pick. Also, with the 170th overall choice, the Steelers picked William Gay, CB from Louisville.

Stephenson is a raw talent, and his size and ability are very promising. Plus it was nice to see Pittsburgh finally address the issue that is the offensive line.

Gay becomes the 4th player from Louisville to be selected in this draft. If Ike Taylor and Bryant Mcfadden finally become the shut-down corners that they were supposed to be, Gay will be relegated to special teams. However, a capable backup is always appreciated, especially when our cornerbacks' "coverage" breaks down.
