Steelers 4th Round Pick 2012 - Alameda Ta'amu - DT, Washington

If he can learn to play with a little bit better pad level and get a little fitter he'll be an excellent middle clogger-upper. I'm loving this draft so far(3rd round not withstanding).

John Mitchell on his newest player: He'll have to double-team blockers to keep them of the linebackers. "He did that very well at Washington."

Great value here and really don't care the Steelers gave up a 6th to get him........I rather had Chapman but very happy with Ta'amu in the 4th round......

How can you not love him already...LOL - (per scott brown via twitter) Ta'amu is a Washington native but..."I was rooting for the Steelers when the Seahawks went to the Super Bowl."

Sweet pick!! I am sooo loving our draft so far. Just so everyone knows, we gave up our 6th rd pick to snag Ta'Amu.

Agree 100%. We still have a 5th Rd. pick and then 4 picks in Rd. 7. This has the potential to be a major re-build draft for the Steelers (who are aging in spots).

Spence will be insane on special teams; he makes up for under-size with incredible heart.

Love it.

Simply Outstanding Draft!!
I think Keith Tandy CB WV.
WR's Tommy Streeter,Greg Childs,Toney Clemons.
LB Jerrell Harris but you could get him in the 7th.
OG Brandon Washington if still on the Board
