Steelers fans wanted a cornerback and they got that in the second round. But, due to Senquez Golson's height (5'8") fans were puzzled by the pick. Already, the tune of selecting Ohio State defensive back Doran Grant seems much more positive. Teammates, media and fans all chime in on their feelings about Grant.
He is a very tough player and is going to help out on special teams because of that. - Carnell Lake on Doran Grant

Grant also had five picks last season, three year before. #Steelers getting CBs with ball skills.

Some predicted Grant going in the second round. Looks like a nice pick for Steelers here

Nice work by #Steelers to get another CB…this one with much needed size

Steelers staying away from their needs and draft, uh, another need -- a cornerback. Doran Grant, Ohio State in the 4th
— Mark Kaboly (@MarkKaboly_Trib) May 2, 2015
And you knew the Steelers would draft at least one guy from OSU

Grant fits what the Steelers look for. Starting experience, timed well (4.44 40) captain on a good defense. #Steelers

Are people complaining that the newest Steelers' corner is only 5-10? Or does that one inch make that big of a difference?

In 4th round #Steelers complete doubledip at Cornerback with Doran Grant, 5-10 1/4, 200, runs a 4.44 40, durable captain #OhioState

Grant is 5-10, 200 pounds and is a 4.4 guy. Solid player. Good value for #Steelers

Landing Golson and now Grant is incredibly exciting. Way to go Pittsburgh

Grant was a gunner on #OhioState's special teams and an outstanding tackler. Solid, steady corner who did his job during championship run.

Carnell Lake on Grant: "He has the ability to stay close to receivers in the sense that he an keep up with them & he can make tackles."
