best wishes to Bud.

Happy for Bud. I think he is going into a good situation with the Steelers and I know they really wanted him.

Steeler have to be ecstatic to get him that late. Think Atlanta will be kicking themselves a couple of years from now when they see the difference between Bud and Vic Beasley. Beasley will get run over in the Pros.

Think he may become the steal of the first round. I cannot think of a much better fit than Bud and the Steelers. I'm not just saying that because I'm a Steeler fan. I just think his attitude and versatility will work well.

Perfect fit for Bud!

I agree that this is great for Bud. A blessing in disguise for falling in the draft. Instead of going to a down team that will need lots of help, he is going to a consistent winner that needs him. With the retirement of Jason Worilds, if he learns quickly, he could earn a starting spot very quickly as a rush end/LB. That is 59 tackles and 7.5 sacks they are looking to replace.
