In Round Six, the Steelers chose their second linebacker of the draft, Iowa's Mike Humpal. I'm not going to lie to you: there is very little to discuss with this pick. He's a sixth-rounder, he's not tremendously decorated, and he played for a mediocre, 6-6 Iowa Hawkeyes team. Let's just say I'm not anticipating a career of 10 Pro Bowl appearances from this spot.
Notes on Humpal:
--2007 All Big Ten Second Team
--23rd nationally with 123 tackles in 2007
--2007 Iowa team captain
--Four-time Academic All-Big Ten Conference
-- Limited by back problems early in his career
Thoughts?
As I stated above, it's the sixth round and I'm running out of steam. This is typically the depth/practice squad fodder portion of the draft, so that's where you'll likely see Humpal next.
