A scouting report on the Steeler's picks in the first round.

Round 5, 145th player overall

	Nathaniel Adibi

Nathaniel Adibi, OLB, Virginia Tech, 6 feet 3, 255 pounds. Another DE convert who will move to OLB in the 3-4 defense. ... Biggest contribution likely will come on special teams. He blocked two punts in college, including one against Pitt. ... Great speed. Once ran a 4.48, but has been timed consistently under 4.6. ... Very strong. Bench presses more than 400 pounds and squats more than 600 pounds. ... In 48 games with the Hokies, had 20.5 sacks, 55 pressures and 10 pass deflections. ... Was second team All-Big East as a senior, when he had 5.5 sacks and 19 QB pressures. ... Shows good effort on back-side pursuit, using his speed to close on ball carriers. ... Will have to learn how to drop in pass coverage, something he didn't do in college.

Round 6. 177th player overall

	Bo Lacy

Bo Lacy, OT, Arkansas, 6 feet 4, 303 pounds. Was not rated very highly by most scouts. ... Steelers discovered him while watching film of his teammate, RT Shawn Andrews, whom they considered taking with the No. 1 pick. ... Is considered small for a left tackle, but uses movement and intelligence to get good position. Can probably add about 10 pounds without a loss in quickness. ... Will be tried at left tackle with the Steelers, backing up Marvel Smith. But he can play several positions on the line. ... Tireless worker who understands the game. Has been injury-free, missing only three practices at Arkansas. ... Was a two-year starter with the Razorbacks. ... Offensive line allowed only 11 QB sacks and helped Arkansas average 237.1 yards rushing per game.

Round 6B, 194th player overall

Matt Kranchick, TE, Penn State, 6 feet 6, 255 pounds. Began his career as a wide receiver before adding 45 pounds. ... Wasn't a starter for the Nittany Lions, but the Steelers like his pass-catching ability and quick feet. ... Is a likely candidate for the eight-player practice squad because he needs at least another season to develop. ... Average run blocker, an area he needs to improve. ... Had 24 catches for 352 yards and a touchdown in 23 games at Penn State. ... Shows a quick burst off the line, using strong leg drive to beat jams at the point of attack. ... Makes good body adjustments in traffic.

Round 6, 194th player overall

	Drew Caylor

Drew Caylor, C/LS, Stanford, 6 feet 5, 288 pounds. Another project because he played only one year as a center after three years at defensive end. ... Will be tried as a long-snapper behind Mike Schneck. ... Has good speed (4.82) for a down lineman and a 31-inch vertical leap. ... Has a tall and still developing frame with big shoulders that should allow him to add size and muscle mass. ... Split time between center and offensive tackle in Stanford's first four games before settling at center for the final seven. ... Was the Cardinal's long-snapper for three seasons. ... Played defensive end, middle linebacker and guard in high school at Bethesda, Md.

Round 7, 212th player overall

Eric Taylor, NT/DE, Memphis, 6 feet 3, 304 pounds. The Steelers will try him at defensive end, but he also can play nose tackle. ... Played defensive end in college, but considered a strong run-stopper that makes him more suited for the inside. ... Started 24 of 39 games at Memphis, where he had 150 tackles, six sacks, 21 tackles for losses and a 52-yard interception return for touchdown. ... Plays low to the ground, making him a good fit for the nose tackle position. Like Casey Hampton, has a wide waist and hips with thick thigh and calves. ... Bench pressed 225 pounds 26 times and has a 33-inch vertical jump. ... Also played basketball at Franklin County HS in Winchester, Tenn.
