The Pittsburgh Steelers needed defensive back help, and with their final pick of the draft, they got it by drafting Texas DB Ryan Watts. Watts fits the mold of a Steelers cornerback under general manager Omar Khan as he stands at 6’2 and weighs 208 pounds.
It is unknown whether Watts stays at cornerback or moves to safety, but one person who is a fan of Watts is NFL Networks, Bucky Brooks. On NFL.com, he reacted to the pick, calling Watts a show pony.
“Height, weight, speed, long arms; looks the part,” said Brooks.
