Not huge news, and this forum is rather 'empty' but figured it was at least worth mentioning. To me, Boykin is well worth the conditional 5th Rd pick (turns to a 4th Rd pick depending on his total playing time). And even if it is a 4th, that's more than likely a good sign, as it likely means he's good enough to see the field quite a bit.
Anyway, what are you all's thoughts? Yeah, he's short (5' 9 1/2"), but that didn't prevent him from securing 6 picks a couple of years ago, and with the success of other short corners like Chris Williams and Tim Jennings, I see no reason he can't play on the outside for us.

I will admit I haven't watch Boykin as an Eagle. If this guy is as tough as emphasize, then he will be a welcome addition to the Steelers secondary to improve our defense a bit and start inch our way out of the 20s ranking when it comes to the defense.
