2011 NFL Draft – Pick 31: Cam Heyward, DT, Ohio State

By Cory J. Bonini on April 28, 2011

The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Ohio State defensive end Cam Heyward with the 31st overall pick of the 2011 NFL Draft.

A talented player that fills a need

Fantasy analysis: Pittsburgh needed a stout run defender to add to their defensive line to help contain the edge, and they found a good one in Heyward. It's rare for a rookie 3-4 defensive end to have a significant fantasy impact, but Heyward will help the Steelers maintain their dominating fantasy ways as a collective group.

    Steelers knew Aaron Williams and Brandon Harris are both reaches or don’t fit their system enough to be taken at 1:31. I personally thought they would trade down and take James Carpenter and Ras-I Dowling and grab a NT or ILB in Rd 3. Carpenter went a lot higher than I expected.

    This was a great traditional pick but time for a look at the secondary now,… we got schooled in the Super Bowl.
