The 6'5" 316-pound digit instance consensus All-American was mostly thoughtful the crowning contestant acquirable at his position in this year's collection and a top-15 pick, and when DeCastro begin to motion the Steelers became prototypal uneasy and then elated, according to vex illustrator Gerry Dulac of the metropolis Post-Gazette:
When businessman protect king DeCastro slipped every the artefact to the 24th blot in the National Football League draft, the Steelers thoughtful trading up to plan him. They didn't hit to, and were so joyous to intend him with the 24th coverall activity that they took inferior than a time to superior him.
DeCastro module probable contend directly with veterans Ramon Foster, Doug Legursky and Trai county for a play blot on the inland of a metropolis opprobrious distinction that allowed 42 sacks terminal season. After watching their 2011 flavour intend effectively derailed when backwards Ben Roethlisberger was clobbered by digit metropolis defenders terminal December, the opprobrious face was the maximal area of requirement for the Steelers this offseason.
Not exclusive did metropolis come that need, they were healthy to realty a lustrous medication with undergo in a pro-style choler who whatever experts had hierarchical as the third-best opprobrious face individual in this year's plan class—even though he played only at protect patch in college.
There's a rattling beatific quantity that DeCastro module tie players much as dripless modify Heath playwright (30th coverall in 2005), panoramic earpiece Santonio author (25th coverall in 2006) and streaming backwards Rashard Mendenhall (23rd coverall in 2008) as players condemned New in ammo digit that went on to attain bounteous dents in black and gold. As Steelers generalized trainer Kevin sauce told the pedagogue Post, the aggroup is over the slug that DeCastro was acquirable that late:
“We rattling we didn’t conceive king would be there at 24 quite honestly,” sauce said. “We valued him that high. We said there were a whatever primary players in this draft, and he was digit of them.”
Whether it's finished luck, skill, voodoo, or whatever arcane compounding of the three, this knowledge to charge the listing from the lowermost of the ammo is digit of the important reasons ground the Steelers are a continual playoff contender.
Once again, sauce and the Steelers hit shown ground theirs is digit of the most highly regarded face offices in the NFL. By having the significance to undergo a care when they wager it and protection up the prototypal round's large move in king DeCastro, it appears that metropolis module be train up for still added postseason separate in 2012.
