This a great pick. He'll be able to contribute in the return game right away. I wonder in drafting Holmes & Reid (Fla St) are the Steelers going back to pass happy type offense that was not all that successful a few years back.
It doesn't sound like they'll be pass happy, but who knows? If Staley can't stay healthy, I think you'll see the Steelers scramble to sign someone off free agency, trade for another back, or concede to throwing 35 times a game. I don't believe the season will start with any intentions on changing the offense because of the addition of Holmes.
Remember that they ran the ball about 60% of the time over the last few seasons. I think that changes this year. If for no other reason than to conserve Staley and Parker.
