The ESPN commentators were mentioning Coby Bryant as a possible option when #32 Vikings were on the clock. But they ended up selecting Cline. Hopefully Bryant is the first DB selected today. Kind of wish the Bengals grabbed him, but they got a good one in Daxton Hill. He was projected to go higher than where Bryant has been projected. I think if Hill didn't fall into their laps, they may have taken Bryant.

It was also mentioned that the Steelers had a greater familiarity with Pickett since the Steelers and the (Pittsburgh) Panthers share physical training facilities. So the Steeler coaching and training staff already have a good gauge of exactly what they are getting with Pickett.

It does seem to be a trend of NFL teams starting to pick-up "local" talent. The Steelers decided to draft Pickett. The Lions drafted a Michigan guy who is also from the Detroit area and the Texans drafted a guy out of A&M who is from Houston. I'm not saying the Bengals ***should*** draft a UC guy just because of the connections, but it could be that, where everything else is basically equal, bringing home a "local" guy is not a bad way to drum-up ticket sales.
