I'll say this, at least this wasn't an obvious need pick. In fact I'm not sure where he fits unless they don't think Ball can play or don't trust Steele as much as they let on.

Not complaining... Actually I think it's a good thing if they thought he was the best player available. Somehow this feels like a McCarthy type pick.

Well, to be fair he's not from NDSU Bison. But from the Fighting Sioux of UND. (fuck you woke bastards, I will not call them the fighting hawks)

But I do really like the guy.
Do you have an allegiance to State over UND?

Here comes The Who the fucks.
Just because you don't know who he is, doesn't mean he isn't a good player.

He will need some coaching. Sure. But this guy has size, power, and a very nasty attitude. Things that we always want in an Olineman. And he's a 5th round pick. It's not like we are expecting him to come right in and start. But in a year or two, can be a very valuable piece of the puzzle.

I definitely don't think they should trust Steele.

Based on rankings I think he was a value pick.

As a coach once said, he needs to be locked in the weight room for a year with steaks slid under the door

There are actually some decent receivers still out there. Ross, Melton and Kevin Austin types
