0:00.0	I'm Chris Carter, the Lockdown Steelers podcast, and the Pittsburgh Steelers have made their 30 second overall pick.
0:05.9	It is Joey Porter, Jr., the cornerback out of Penn State, and the son of former Steelers superstar linebacker, Joey Porter, and former coach as well.
0:14.8	This doesn't come as much of a surprise to many people because Joey Porter Jr. was one of the more highly regarded corners of this
0:21.1	of this class. Now sure, he falls down the board when you look at how, you know, he wasn't selected
0:27.3	in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, the, in the, the, in the, the, in the, the, in the, the, in the, the, in the, in the, in the, pretty to this draft class, pre-to this draft
0:39.5	happening. A lot of people had him slated as at least the number three or number four
0:42.9	cornerback here. Personally, I'd have him rate that as by number three cornerback. So if you
0:47.3	had told, told me or told most people that the Steelers were going to find a way to get a top

1:15.1	are physical dogs the guys that are going to get in their opponent's faces and guys who are going
1:18.9	to mess up the routes of their opponents um but and i think that when you look at his size 6 319ish
1:25.1	in that range he's going to be a guy that can that can play with bigger wide receivers like Jamar Chase.
1:30.7	The question is going to come for Joey Porter, Jr.
1:32.9	How does he play in coverage when he loses a step in a route here?
1:36.9	Because that was some concerns.
1:38.7	He ran a 4-4-6 on the 40-yard dash.
1:40.5	A good time.
