The NFL Draft starts Thursday.

As was the case last year, DraftWire’s Luke Easterling joins us to preview the NFL selection process in our Wednesday Sided.co podcast. We start with the defenisve side of the ball.

Easterling is a Tampa guy. He’s covered the Buccaneers in the past. And he’s not so sure that the Bucs are going to draft Devin White, even though most of the rest of the world seems to think they will if they can. He tells us why.

If he’s right, that could help the Steelers.

Also, Easterling lets us know whether Alabama’s Mack Wilson is worthy of a first-round pick at inside linebacker if White and Devin Bush go early.

The cornerbacks are interesting. We analyze a bunch of them. The safeties don’t have a lot of talent up high on the board. But there is quality after Thursday night.

And could the Steelers surprise us all and go with an interior lineman or a pass rusher?

Actually, we are talking about the Steelers. So those results wouldn’t be suprising.

We talk offense Thursday.
