Pittsburgh Steelers

Perfect draft pair: Temple LB Haason Reddick (Round 1, pick 30); Ashland TE Adam Shaheen (Round 2, pick 62)

Jeremiah on Reddick: Reddick is a classic Pittsburgh Steeler. He's instinctive, tough and physical. He's versatile, too. He can play with his hand down or stand up and play outside linebacker. I think his home, especially in the Steelers' scheme, is at inside linebacker. He was outstanding at the Senior Bowl. He's a plug-and-play guy.

Brooks on Shaheen: The Steelers need someone big on the inside who can affect the passing game. Shaheen can run like the wind. He's a physical blocker. He's a Steeler-type of player. Shaheen is physical, aggressive and has nice hands.

On the Move the Sticks podcast, former NFL scouts Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks break down the latest news and action around the league from a scout's perspective, alongside NFL player personnel executives.
